@austinburns
Reliable hospitality team member and logistics-minded delivery driver with strong customer service and engineering skills.
What I'm looking for
I’m a dependable hospitality professional who enjoys keeping fast-paced operations running smoothly. I bring strong guest services instincts, clear communication, and a calm, reliable presence under pressure.
In kitchen and dining roles, I focus on cleanliness, organization, and teamwork—maintaining dish areas, supporting cooks during peak hours, and ensuring the dining space is ready for every customer. I adapt quickly to changing schedules and reservations to keep service seamless.
As a delivery driver, I prioritized time-sensitive logistics by planning efficient routes and solving problems on the go. I handled high-volume deliveries with accuracy, supported store flow by working with teammates on order preparation, and managed transactions responsibly.
I also’m building a technical foundation with a BS in Mechanical Engineering Technology and a Certified SolidWorks Associate (CSWA). That combination of practical service experience and engineering training shapes how I think—structured, detail-oriented, and always problem-solving.
