Lights blink on and off as a man turns k***s and dials, conducting a technological symphony. His voice fills the gymnasium as a ball swishes through the net, declaring WA’s victory over the roar of the crowd. He stands in the back of the PAC ensuring presentations go smoothly, inspects malfunctioning tools in classrooms, and never hesitates to offer a helping hand.
