Nicholas Lazidis

I am an Audio Visual (AV) technician with experience in both learning and corporate environments. I have a strong understanding in audio networking, alongside with DSP applications. My studies have further fuelled my passion for AV commissioning and system design. Constantly striving to further develop my skills through collaborative work and self-progression. I have a good problem solving approach and can delegate effectively within time - sensitive situations. As a client-oriented professional with great communicational and collaborative skills, I am not hesitant to take initiatives or reach out to achieve new goals. Often commended for my creativity and motivation to generate ideas and develop them further.
