I’m a locksmith who started as a lockout tech and grew into cutting and programming car keys.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I’m driven by success and growth, and I’m looking for more than just a job—I want a career. I’ve built my experience starting as a lockout tech, mainly unlocking cars and houses for customers, then moving into cutting and programming keys for cars as the business grew.
Before and alongside locksmith work, I gained reliability and leadership in other roles. As an assistant manager, I worked up from cashier to training for assistant manager duties, including cash drawer consolidation, bank deposits, store signage, and opening/closing. I also drove a box truck for medical waste transport and worked in the shop operating the machine to make medical waste safe for disposal.
More recently, I’ve been doing deliveries through Spark, DoorDash, and Roadie to support my family, but I’m looking to leave these for more stable income. I bring a strong work ethic, steady customer focus, and the motivation to advance wherever I’m trusted to take on more responsibility.
