I have built my own workbench and other projects in coordination with other workers, I have worked in community housing reconstruction after the major floods in the area, and I have designed and built robots as part of a robotics team, which required manual skills. I regularly perform maintenance work in my home and elsewhere. I learn very quickly and am physically capable.
