Summary
I have worked extensively with multiple different forms of design/redesign and construction of electrical and mechanical systems, and infrastructure for eight years. These systems have ranged from repair and diagnostic of automotive systems, both electrical, mechanical, and hydraulic based systems. As well as equipment understand and maintaining for complex heavy machinery. I am extremely motivated in learning new skills and trades as to further my skillset and career. I am excited to take on new challenges where I can further my knowledge and understanding. This allows me to be highly trainable, as new information understanding is what peaks my interest. Nothing makes me feal more accomplished than seeing a project advance and ultimately finish to the specifications requested. Engineering is a field I have always been involved with in some form or fashion, to which I hope to take the next step into the field directly!
