Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMichael Hewitt is an experienced electronics and network engineer with over a decade of hands-on practice and a teaching career spanning the UK and Australia since 2005. He combines deep practical skills in embedded systems and microcontrollers with strong programming interests in Java, Scala and Clojure, and a long history of Cisco/Novell networking and server administration. Michael has applied his skills in education, community initiatives (organising an embedded electronics club), and charitable refurbishing of donated PCs, demonstrating a practical, service-oriented approach to technology. His background includes enterprise network engineering roles at Toyota and Dimension Data as well as low-level software work on NetWare modules, showing comfort from firmware to infrastructure. Currently based in Melbourne, he stays active by prototyping mechatronic projects and donating demonstrator hardware between roles, reflecting a continuous learner mindset. That blend of classroom pedagogy, field support, and maker-level tinkering makes him well suited to roles bridging education, manufacturing and applied IT.
