Garrett Vandelinde

Worked and learned the fundamentals of residential carpentry. I installed and repaired woodwork, siding, doors, windows, decks, and the likes.

Checked measurements and completed accurate cuts to prevent materials waste and maintain cost controls.

When I wasn't working for a large corporation, I was working with my father (American Pride founder). Over the years I've acquired proficient skill in the concrete trade. We would tear out and excavate customer's flats (ie., driveways, sidewalks, patios, etc.), prep the job, then pour and finish the flat. Each project was unique and had to be tailored to the customers' preference.

Created unique three-dimensional assets for game developers and CGI purposes. Mastered professional use of 3D modeling programs plus gained working knowledge of various other programs (ie., Blender, Unity, Sketch-up, Photoshop). Developed skill and knowledge of computer programs through years of dabbling on the side.

Performed complete vehicle maintenance inspections, including tires, brakes and all fluid levels, as well as oil changes, and tire rotations. It was an extremely fast-paced environment and required employees to be well-versed in entry-level mechanics.

Customers would order their groceries online, and it was my job to gather products around the store, take said items to our department for organization and processing, then carry out orders to customers' vehicles. Swiftness and knowledge of the store's layout was essential for efficiency.
