Synopsis:
Highly adaptive Engineer/Analyst with over 25 years of computer/electronics
engineering experience. Knowledge covers a wide range of concepts at
levels of complexity ranging from circuit level electronics design to computer
systems to large scale networks enabling the ability to view situations from a
multitude of perspectives.
Culminating from all this previous experience, I've learned to architect, plan,
provision, implement and maintain complex systems which helped bring success to
the companies I've worked for through either the realization of substantial
savings in operating costs or through the systems requiring little maintenance
or repair.
As an excellent self starter typically needing no guidance/supervision, since 1992
my roles of employment have been reporting directly to senior management/staff at
the companies I've worked.
Past employments include supervisory and instructional roles as I have also
managed project groups as well as trained employees through seminars, training
sessions and one-on-one assistance bringing better productivity through
employees which have a better understand of the company's product, their environment and the
technology in it.
