Personality Background

I am an ambitious individual whom prefers a practical approach. I have an excellent work ethic and I am willing to put in the extra effort in order to complete a challenging task. I am a quick learner and good at implementing my knowledge. I perform well under pressure. I believe anything can be done if you are only willing to try, which has made me knowledgeable in various trade industries. I am technically orientated, however I do have a lot to learn and I am more than willing to do so, as I understand that no amount of theoretical knowledge can compensate for experience. I welcome feedback, both negative and positive so that I may better the way I work as well as better myself. I seek out knowledge rather than learn only that which is required.

Objective

My objective is to analyse all available data, considering all technical aspects as well as the implications of current and future solutions being considered. I aim to provide practical solutions in a timely and conservative manner, ensuring safety and consistency.
