Summary

I have always prided myself on being an innovative thinker, a pioneer, and an engineer with a larger-than-life "can-do" attitude. I am skilled in solving engineering problems with a pragmatic and practical approach, given that I understand the problem well enough to generate a solution somewhere close to the ideal optimal solution and have complete knowledge of all available resources. As a machine operator and a technician, I am a skilled calibrator, troubleshooting and fixing instruments/machinery in accordance with the original design.
