About

I have extensive experience in high-pressure environments where I developed a keen proficiency in electromechanical, robotic, and X-ray systems. I have performed installs, training, and 24/7 field service support everywhere from TSA body/baggage scanners at airports, explosive detection scanners for DoD/NATO/State Department overseas, and currently providing support on spine/cranial robotic systems in hospitals
