Attention Human Resources Manager:
I attended Control Data Institute and studied computer science at Baruch College on a Regents Scholarship. I’ve been a freelance wiring engineer and integrator for 30 years
(see attached resume) which requires diverse knowledge of various equipment systems and programs. I always read the instructions first. I’ve instructed people, showing wirers what to do and clients what I have learned about equipment when testing it. Constant learning is a necessary requirement for work and life and broadens the wide range of skills I’ve mastered, from electronics, carpentry and guitar to web design. I’m adept at dozens of computer programs and programming languages with other aspects of web design and maintenance of computers on a network. I am considered a technical guru to many fellow professionals. My people skills instill confidence, instruct, and make smiles. I know making the customer feel well-served is as important as making the system operate perfectly.
My first job after Control Data was for DiAn Service Corporation working at the major airports with occasional trips cross country – I maintained hundreds of ticket and boarding pass printing machines and similar machines for the New York Stock Exchange and maintained the TWA bag belt computer. All of this was done in front of clients and passengers.
I have been a freelance wiring engineer and integrator since. I am a self starter, gifted at making technical things work, resourceful, tenacious, innovative and patient. I recognize problems quickly, repair and then instruct others how to repair. I am serious but fun, adaptable to ever-changing technological advances loving to solve issues. Doing things sweetly, neatly and completely.
I’ve connected over 160,000 ends of all types and can handle any new devices. I have wired vapor equipment and vapor rooms and wired on and off-site and have wired most jobs with zero downtime.
I’ve worked with large crews, coordinating efforts and building to minimize the human factor. I have worked without plans to complete vidcad plans. I’ve worked in the field as service technician, in construction, cabinet making and electrical fields giving me a valuable vision of the big picture. I have worked many different schedules including shift work. I live in Manhattan in the apartment I was born in. I am here and ready to go. I am competent to coordinate what it takes to complete the job.
