Accomplishments
- During Covid-19, while the product line at Permaswage was happening, we had drastic layoffs, which reduced my team from 15 to 5, including myself, while finishing only 4 months late to mass-produce a product line that was never mass-produced before in the company; 4 months late was an accomplishment to me and my team
- I have taken apart numerous engines from cars and motorcycles that I've owned, and rebuilt them from the ground up
