Skills
Project Management
Who's on first and what is the goal?
Scope
Start with a goal and then break it into the things that need to happen to make the goal a reality. Gantt charts rock!
Gather Materials
Get everyone, and everything where it is needed and when it is needed to keep the system running smoothly.
Check Goals
A project isn't done until everything is checked off the list. This includes cleaning up all the tools and paying off the bills.
IT Related Skills
This is a brief synopsis of my information technology skills
Computer Repair
I am able to build a computer from scratch and install most programs without assistance.
Network Infrastructure
I have built several networks including VOIP, IoT, and VPN services. I can also setup integrated camera networks for covering your assets. Click here to see your public IP address if you don't believe me.
Software and Code
I am experienced in MS Office, CAD, CNC, Active Directory, Virtual environments. I have worked in C#, Python Scratch, VB.net and HTML....oh and I built this website!
Mechanical Skills
Like Robert the builder...
Tools
Hand tools are cool, but have you ever used a CNC plasma table? What about an underwater electro-magnet with a built in power supply? Let's just say I know my way around a tool box.
Precision
Calipers, hydrostatic testing, and magnehelic gauges are nothing new to me. Torque spec exists for quality and repeatability.
Adaptability
A quality slotted screwdriver is not a prybar or chisel. Also a wedge is a wedge, and that why I have two different slotted screwdrivers.
Misc. Skills
Some of the other stuff that I can do.
Heavy-ish Equipment
I have years of experience driving fork lifts, skid steers, man lifts and other powered equipment. I also have a for hire endorsement in Indiana which allows me to operate most vehicles up to 26,000lbs.
OSHA 30, ISO 9001
Proof that I have spent at least 30 hours learning about OSHA dos and don'ts. I have also taken courses in quality management. "Fun Times"
Scuba and Compressed Gases
I worked at a Southern Indiana Scuba while I finished my degrees and learned how to service equipment, blend gases, and became a PADI Dive Master. Also, I took this picture!
Communication Skills
If this website wasn't proof of my written communication give me a call!
French
Je peux lire assez bien le français. s'il vous plaît ne me demandez pas de le parler. Je peux commander à manger ou à boire.
Spanish
Mi francés es mejor que mi español. A menudo confundo palabras entre los dos. ¿Cerveza?
Yiddish
איך קען נישט רעדן קיין ווארט יידיש. אָבער איך וויסן ווי צו נוצן Google זעץ!
I can learn anything if given enough time.
