Gabriel Adams

Hardworking and passionate job seeker with strong organizational skills eager to secure entry-level electro-mechanical technician position. Ready to help team achieve company goals. Regardless of where I am to start, my intentions are to continue to be upward motivated as well as be an asset to whichever company gives the opportunity. Currently available to work all shifts, weekends and holidays.

Main background is in firefighting for Cal Fire so I value punctuality, accountability, teamwork and working hard until the job is done. I also have years of production assembly experience working for Creative Office Systems in Sacramento Ca. building base line feed cubicle electrification systems which in turn led to promotion to lead installation tech of mentioned office systems in the Silicon Valley area during the dot com bubble. Also have turned a hobby I am very passionate about, F.P.V. drone/quadcopter builder and pilot into a lucrative source of extra income. Able to manage this through the buying and selling of used and refurbished parts as well as taking on complete builds, repairs and offering expert p.i.d. tuning formulas for race and freestyle drones. Some aspects of this hobby and prior work experience I feel would be valuable in this industry would be: comprehension of low voltage systems, ability to decipher blueprints and wiring diagrams, ability to use certain specialized tools such as soldering irons, multi-meters, continuity meters, oscilloscopes etc. Also believe staying organized and orderly is paramount to produce quality work efficiently.

I not only see myself solid and detail oriented leader but also a respectful subordinate with a keen ability to follow instructions who isn't afraid to ask questions in order to avoid time consuming mistakes. Aside from that I am an adept problem solver and gained favor with Chiefs and Captains over the years for the ability to take initiative and think outside the box.
