What I'm looking for

I'm looking to continue supporting automotive engineering, vehicle testing, validation, instrumentation, diagnostics, and data-driven problem solving in a safety- and quality-focused environment.

I'm currently preparing and validating prototype and pre-production vehicles at KETT Engineering, installing instrumentation, operating data-acquisition equipment, and collecting live OBD2 and CAN vehicle data. I troubleshoot vehicle, wiring, sensor, communication, and test-system issues while documenting results and corrective actions.

Previously at Ford Motor Company, I supported vehicle and powertrain test programs through test preparation, instrumentation, diagnostics, and Excel-based data analysis. I also bring project and operations coordination experience across Rosewood Excavating, Anderson Backhoe Service, Stellantis logistics, and HVAC engineering.
