Summary

In the past ** years I have helped a small one man engineering company grow into a 25-30 person firm. With offices in CT and NY, working on some of the largest and high profile job sites in the area. Whether implementing universal CAD standards, constant network infrastructure updates or troubleshooting all aspects of the network, I was an integral part of the growth of the company. I’m looking to take what I’ve learned here and pursue a full time career in the IT field.
