What I'm looking for

I seek roles combining hands-on maintenance/logistics with IT troubleshooting in safety-focused teams that value reliability, clear communication, and opportunities to grow technical skills.

I am a dedicated maintenance and logistics professional with military experience and recent training in information technology security and administration. I combined disciplined operations from the Army National Guard with hands-on repair expertise to deliver reliable, safety-focused results.

As a senior repairman, I performed high-volume inspections and repairs—completing up to 120 railcar inspections and reports per shift—while maintaining quality and schedule commitments. My mechanical work included replacing piping, valves, air brake pistons and wheel sets to sustain optimal equipment performance.

My background includes customer-facing retail and food-service roles where I handled high customer volumes, accurate cash and card transactions, and dispute resolution. Those roles strengthened my communication, multitasking and teamwork abilities in fast-paced environments.

Recently I completed coursework in IT security and administration, including Linux Essentials, CompTIA A+, Network+, Security+, Microsoft AZ-900 and SC-900, preparing me to combine technical troubleshooting and security awareness with practical maintenance and logistics skills.
