Michael Oviedo

5 years, 5 crews, 4.3 Billion dollar Submarines.

USS Oregon, Minnesota, Colorado, Vermont and North Dakota.

• Being able to be apart of so many different commands, has enabled me to quickly grow into a strong, diligent, well-trained, detailed-oriented person. Being a Fire Control Technician my job demands me to stay vigilant and clear concise communication, along with troubleshooting has become second nature. Which was very important when managing over 30+ different servers and virtual servers. My inquisitive nature has allowed me to discover hidden features in multiple systems, allowing for the safe operations of multiple of our nations submarines. Conducting hundreds of hours maintenance and calibration from servers to high energy systems. The U.S. Submarine Force constitutes about 0.007 percent of the population – or about 1 out of 14,100 people

I bring a set of skills that would not only fit into any system but enhance it and everyone around me.

• In my tenure at Prima I was thrown to the wolves which was taught me to grow and think quickly on my feet. 3 weeks on the job and I was left on my own having to figure out how to install million dollar machines with automation and advanced electronics, having to communicate with owners of manufacturing facilities to ensure them they are in diligent and capable hands. I am now entrusted in doing the installations, along with replacing 40k dollar head units, which is the heart of our machines. 7 technicians to cover the US territory for prima's new LG+ machines and only 3 are entrusted to change heads on the new machines, I am 1 of 3.

No matter what situation I am in. I will learn, I will grow, and I will thrive. I am 1 of 1.
