Brian Spells Jr
@brianspellsjr
I improve operations through Python, SQL, automation training, troubleshooting, and 10+ years of hands-on leadership.
What I'm looking for
I've built a 10+ year foundation in operations, troubleshooting, maintenance, and team coordination while transitioning into Python, SQL, web, and automation work.
At Sherwin-Williams, I progressed through store management, operations management, customer sales, and associate roles. I use computer-based systems to process orders, maintain accounts, monitor inventory, complete cycle counts, and resolve operational issues.
My process improvements increased operating efficiency by 80% and contributed to approximately 51% growth in operating profit while keeping inventory below budget. I also coordinate account follow-ups and communicate responsibilities across residential, property maintenance, and commercial accounts.
I'm strengthening my technical foundation through Python, SQL, HTML, PLC programming, PLCNext, industrial Ethernet, RSLinx, Siemens TIA Portal, CODESYS, RSLogix, and Studio 5000 training. I bring practical problem-solving, data and inventory management, and clear technical communication to automation and application-support work.
