My Professional Profile
Up Close & Personal
Having a career that feels like a hobby, no matter how challenging, is one of the most satisfying privileges I have earned in my life. I am grateful for all of the support and teachings of the mentors I have in my career. Without them, my attitude would be lacking much confidence.
Personal Statement
I am a detail oriented, problem solving, technical professional with focus on bringing up of prototypes. I bring versatility and attention-to-detail among many aspects of engineering and technical work such as 3D CAD design, PCB assembly, rapid prototyping, prototype fabrication and electrical circuit assembly.
Every startup technology company and engineering lab could greatly benefit from my skill set. I truly believe this because I know what it takes to make things happen no matter how hectic a day can be, improvisation is one of my specialties, and high pressure environments are where I do best.
