Summary
Technology professional with years of experience in planning and mission critical
electrical systems. Utilized lean methodology with six-sigma philosophy to create
streamlined documentation to conduct work process controls based on quality assurance
such as security standards and performance optimizations. Improved the design of an
existing high voltage relay bank, creating a safer more effective hardware security
methodology while saving my employer and customer more than $20K in a single
project. Managed and improved a preventive maintenance database for everyday
hardware operations, including data analysis and test execution set-ups for validation of
functionality against mission critical systems.
