Mohammad Faris Md Tahir
Summary
Adept at spearheading AV and event setups with a proven track record at Kim Yew Integrated Pte Ltd, I excel in strategic planning and innovation. My expertise in AV technology and work coordination has significantly enhanced event execution efficiency. Skilled in both technical troubleshooting and creative problem-solving, I consistently deliver beyond expectations.
Due to my experience in audiovisual and electrical, I conducted basic training for the new technicians during the handing and taking over period at the Ministry of Education ( MOE ). Joined Keppel FMO in 2008 as part of the electrical team and was posted to Republic Polytechnic. I was promoted to Senior Technician in 2010 and got the chance to be on the AV team. I felt amazed with the support given, especially from my superior and staff.
I am a technical-oriented person, who loves to learn and to upgrade my skills.
