Summary

I began as a machine operator and was quickly promoted to CNC technician. I now work with five-axis machines, making G code adjustments to maintain tolerances and part quality. I've taken initiative to understand the mechanical side of the machines as well, which has helped me troubleshoot issues and reduce downtime. I'm always learning and enjoy understanding how things work
