Summary
Hardworking individual with a wide range of skills. Skills originate from learning engineering in college, leading a team assembling air filtration machines, to physical labor removing hazardous trees away from live power lines.
Pursuing a full-time role in need of someone hands on and willing to learn. I have a knack for adapting to teams quickly. I'd love to work on hard tasks whether they involve physical labor, mechanical assembly, or computational/design oriented tasks.
