Duties:

Using CorelDraw, I digitized diagrams of semiconductors and microprocessors from obsolete software drawings and hand drawn schematics. It required extreme attention to detail and I enjoyed it very much. My time there in-person was limited to a few months, due to Covid19. I redrew variations of 5 types of semiconductors, and successfully transferred them to digital format while working from home until the job ended in August, 2020.
