Veteran looking to break into tech while learning full stack development
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Class A CDL driver with extensive delivery and route experience across local and long-haul operations, including flatbed driving, hazmat, refrigerated trailer, and securement-focused transportation. Across roles, I’ve prioritized safe, timely deliveries and dependable dock and pickup/drop-off execution, including work in adverse conditions and detailed route planning.
Before trucking, I built a strong maintenance and troubleshooting foundation as a Tool and Die Technician and Aircraft Pneumatics/Hydraulics Repairer, where I performed preventive maintenance, repairs, and diagnostics using technical manuals and shop procedures. I’m now seeking an entry-level position with opportunity for advancement, bringing my safety-first mindset, time management, and continuous improvement approach to a new team.
