THEOPHILUS SELBY

ELECTRICAL ENGINEER
TEMA

Summary

I started my professional career as a Quality and Environmental Health and Safety officer and slowly transitioned to be fully fledged Electrical engineer. I have a passion for solving electrical problems and my interest is in industrial automation and control. I have an irrepressible "tick" to figure out how things work especially in the technological world. This has made me quite a proven problem solver. My newly found love for programming has led me to gain admission to pursue a Master's course in Computer Science which is not bad considering it is online, flexible and also an 83% scholarship. This will allow me to work unhindered while learning. I aspire to be the best Automation and control specialist in Ghana in the next 2 years because I have a unique mix of an electrical engineer and a computer scientist. Teamwork, "out of the box thinking" and perseverance are my character trait. I believe there is nothing I cannot do once I put my mind to mind to it and believe in myself.
