Fabrication and Maintenance Technician with strong hands-on experience across welding, structural assembly, industrial maintenance, and field-based operations in heavy industry and petrochemical environments. Background in MIG/MAG, TIG, and FCAW welding, working from technical drawings, and performing installation, repair, and fabrication of mechanical systems and steel structures. Experienced in high-risk industrial environments including BASF and USAF-supported operations. Alongside core technical work, experienced in supporting quality control processes, including visual inspection (VT), dimensional checks, defect identification, and basic penetrant testing (PT) of welded assemblies to ensure compliance with technical and safety standards. In current role, performing inspection and condition assessment across 1000+ industrial assets, contributing to maintenance planning, system reliability, and operational readiness. Recognized for reliability, safety performance, and contribution to equipment readiness and inspection processes. Currently building on practical inspection experience and progressing toward quality inspection and NDT (VT/UT), while maintaining a strong foundation in fabrication and industrial mechanical work.
