I am a pioneer and have worked hard to reach prodigious triumphs. My
gifted ingenuity, vision, and higher understanding have driven me to the
front of my colleagues. Out of archetypal manufacturing evolvement, my
uncommon skills and insight have drawn my roles through ever changing
responsibilities. While my primary experience has been in PCB engineering,
I have also had key involvement in environmental, construction, facility
management, customer service, and maintenance projects. Therefore, my
talent, ambition, and skills can be applied easily to any type of role that
requires organization, leadership, intelligence, and vision.
My career has contributed a great deal of time in steering the engineering
teams of facilities in Malaysia and Singapore. My challenges and victories
in Southeast Asia cannot be understated. The knowledge I poses from my
experiences there are absolutely vital to the success of companies within
the states.
Among so many things, I have been the leader in developing cutting edge
processes for the world's largest patent holder; commanded team efforts to
meliorate final inspection processes and diminish customer returns; re-
tooled every process to handle several major product changes; organized
mechanical maintenance to internalize and discontinue expensive contracts;
delineated the failure analysis systems for affective automated analysis. I
have been the foremost authority for controlling every aspect of large
numbers of machines that command great insight and dollars. I get respect
and praise everyday for what I do. I enjoy my work and live by a strong
ethic; however I have recently relocated to central Florida for family
reasons.
I am a dedicated engineer with the right attitude that has made and saved
Sanmina-SCI millions of dollars. My resume cannot begin to tell the whole
story. Please allow me the opportunity to discuss further what I can do for
you.
Best Regards

Recommendation from StevenPittari,GeneralManager,Sanmina:
"I worked with David during my tenure at Sanmina and recommend him without
hesitation. In any organization there are a handful of talented employees
that manage to separate from the crowd with innovative thinking and problem
solving ability. In almost all cases these individuals are not only highly
intelligent, but possess the positive attitude to tackle new challenges
with extreme confidence. David without doubt fits into that category. His
ability to solve technical issues was impressive as was his ability to
effectively communicate with those around him. Those who most likely will
be impacted by potential process change, including operators, engineers and
managers. David was able to carry this out due to the respect that these
functional groups had for his abilities. David's technical ability and
communication skills also proved valuable during customer visits, as he was
capable of explaining the process with technical competence, enthusiasm and
pride. Always eager to improve himself and learn new skills David took
advantage of any training provided including getting his Green Belt
certification." August 4, 2010
