Summary

With 9 years of experience in manufacturing, production, and quality control, I have developed expertise as a technician specializing in Tesla Vehicles and Tele-Handler Production. My skills include re-working 12v harnesses and connections, installing hydraulic systems, conducting PMs, diagnosing and resolving issues, providing accurate documentation, and performing light to heavy repairs. As a supervisor, I have effectively led shift employees to meet departmental quality and production goals. I have successfully managed a team of technicians, leads, and associates while maintaining comprehensive records and inventories in the production area. By balancing manpower and implementing countermeasures for quality and equipment issues, I have consistently met production demands while upholding the highest safety and engineering standards from start to finish.
