Merritt Island, Florida, United States
I am a versatile professional with a unique blend of expertise in hardware and electrical engineering, complemented by a passion for automotive projects. Formerly involved in installing Data Flight Instrumentation and Cable Harnesses for NASA's SLS, now in Quality. My background encompasses a diverse skill set. With hands-on experience in designing a 3D printer, I have honed my abilities in 3D Design for Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) and mechatronics engineering. I am proficient in Blender and Fusion 360, and use both regularly to design 3D printed parts. In the process of restoring vehicles, I have learned the necessity of mechanical accuracy and precision. My desire to create has led me to learn how to produce multimedia content using Inkscape, GIMP, Shotcut, and Audacity. In my profession, I have had the opportunity to learn from industry experts. Leading technicians on NASA's SLS have helped me get up to speed on current standards and practices for manufacturing in aerospace. My previous jobs have also helped me develop camaraderie with others, and now I consider my ability to be open and friendly with others to be a great skill to have wherever I am.
