Objective
Interested in an opportunity bringing my skills, experience, attention to detail, and integrity for quality into a humble atmosphere
which values hard work and offering nourishment of skills with emphasis on growth potential. Integrate with a team producing
quality solutions to design problems, resolving cost conscience situations, and working on lost time circumvention relative with
misunderstood atmospheric criteria through cross team coordination and collaboration. Accompanying me would be nearly nine
years in low voltage primary wiring design and manufacturing processes.
