Summary
David Pickavance is an experienced owner-founder who has supported the PCB assembly industry for over 20 years while building practical shopfloor software since 2007. He combines deep process knowledge of SMT, wave, reflow and selective soldering with hands-on service, machine upgrades and training, giving him rare end-to-end visibility from equipment specification to production support. As founder of KwikTic he delivers paperless work instructions, traceability and real-time shopfloor data systems that integrate test logs, BOMs and traceability into everyday manufacturing. Technically fluent in .NET, C#, VB, SQL, Linq and UI toolkits like DevExpress and Silverlight, he turns process problems into deployable software and helpdesk solutions. Based in Wigan, he routinely pairs used-equipment brokerage and repairs with bespoke software to speed customer onboarding and reduce downtime—an approach born from decades of field service and OEM collaboration.
