Summary
I worked my way up to Electrical Lead at Del Monte Food from an Electrician. Along the way, I was a dedicated Instrumentation Technician for four years, and a System Controls Tech for five years. Also, being an Electrical Technology Instructor has helped me a lot in gaining a deeper understanding of the trade. I specialize in troubleshooting and maintenance of complex systems. Expertise in industrial wiring and programmable logic controllers, with a strong focus on team collaboration. Dedicated to improving operational efficiency and providing high-quality technical instruction. I have been next-level troubleshooting support for the team and have also kept their respect by being a 'Working Lead.'
