Summary

Started out as a helper and worked my way up to a welder over the years. I can fit and weld almost any alloy with many different procedures. Extremely efficient with GTAW and FCAW. Got a lot of experience in shop settings with turn tables and welding finals in position. Have worked out in the field multiple times. Following the wps and asking for it before welding to know the procedures. Always working in the safest and most efficient way possible.
