Summary
I have over 35 years of experience in the mechanical design field, starting on the drafting board and crossing over into CAD. I have been using AutoCAD since 1986 and almost exclusively use Autodesk Plant3D today. I enjoy computer programming, utilizing many different software languages (including BASIC, Microsoft VBA, AutoCAD LISP, C++, JavaScript, COBOL and many "dead" languages pertaining to programmable calculators and pocket computers). I using Microsoft Excel and am considering applying for Microsoft Excel Certification. I'm well versed at using Microsoft Excel and am considering applying for Microsoft Excel Certification. I've helped create and maintain company CAD standards and practices and have had the luxury of being able to utilize my design skills (both 2D and 3D) while also helping out the IT department. I'm willing to learn and accept new challenges. I'm creative, artistic and resourceful, capable of handling multiple responsibilities and working independently or in groups
