What I'm looking for

I am looking for a job that allows me to utilize my skills in IT consulting, operations management, and construction. I am particularly interested in opportunities within the electric vehicle industry, where I can contribute my programming and electrical design expertise. I value a company culture that encourages innovation, collaboration, and continuous learning.

I am an experienced and versatile professional with a background in IT consulting, operations management, construction, and hands-on technical skills. Throughout my career, I have gained expertise in shipping and receiving, inventory control, problem-solving, and customer service. I have successfully managed my own business, gaining valuable experience in branding, social media advertising, and programmatic workflow automation. Additionally, I have provided general shop assistance and mechanical support at an electric vehicle conversion company, where I was responsible for preparing and packaging online orders for shipment and maintaining inventory. I am eager to leverage my expertise in programming and electrical design to contribute to the electric vehicle industry.

My professional journey has been diverse, and I have developed a wide range of skills. I have experience in brazing, PC hardware support, and Windows and Ubuntu support. I have also honed my problem-solving abilities and have a strong background in inventory management. In addition to my technical skills, I have a passion for learning and have pursued various courses in C#, neural networks, machine learning, artificial intelligence, and computer science. I am constantly seeking to expand my knowledge and stay up-to-date with the latest advancements in the field.

Outside of work, I have a variety of interests and hobbies. I am a member of the Boys Choir and enjoy practicing Isshinryu Karate. I am also skilled in graphic art and programming, and I have a passion for vehicle restoration. These activities allow me to express my creativity and continue learning outside of my professional life.
