Career History & Accomplishments
Senior Project, Devry University Aug. 2011 to Feb. 2012
• Awarded “Best Technical Merit” for designing and building an Electromyography
controlled robotic hand using Nitinol shape memory alloy actuators. This project used
non-invasive medical electrodes to pick up muscular voltages at 10 to 50nV within the 10
to 500HZ range. The signals where filtered, and amplified using instrumentation
amplifiers and active filtering. EMG signals were then applied to an HSC12
microcontroller programmed in C-language to display signal info on an LCD as well as
produce PWM waveforms that where fed to the robotic actuation power circuits.
Personal Electronics Interest Projects Aug. 2008
• Using schematics found online, built and tested a Variable PWM 12V DC Power Supply.
This circuit was designed to pulse an NPN Power MOSFET with 12V DC to modulate
the amount of HHO gas generated by an electrolysis cell.
Devry Lab Projects, Devry University Aug 2007 to Feb 2012
2. • Built and tested a Pulse Width Modulated Remote Controlled Vehicle using the HSC12
microcontroller programmed in C-language with attached RX/TX circuitry. PWM signals
were calculated and then verified using a digital oscilloscope.

Tech Support & Module Repair, Gruber Power Services 2015 to Present
• Efficiently handles incoming customer calls providing a strong effort to narrow down or
eliminate UPS alarms/ failures over the phone and make appropriate recommendations.
• Portrays interest in module repair department when not taking tech support calls by:
troubleshooting, repairing and refurbishing non-working/ out-of-spec UPS Power Supply
Modules, Intelligence cards and various electronic circuitry through the use of an
oscilloscope, curve-tracer, ESR-meter, Multi-meter, solder / de-soldering equipment, ect.
• Strives to find more efficient means of troubleshooting and testing equipment by use of
external test fixtures and prototyping interface circuitry and electro-mechanical devices.
Field Service Engineer, Gruber Power Services 2014 to 2015
• Professionally performs preventative maintenance, troubleshooting and repair of
customer owned uninterruptable power supplies, generally ranging from 1to 625 KVA.
• Accurately uses and performs measurements with: digital multi-meter, amp clamp, ESR
meter, infrared thermometer, signal tracing, schematic diagrams, alarm log / parameter
collection via computer interface, visual and sensory inspection, basic hand and power
tool use.
• Creates superior, professional reports of work completed in a timely and accurate
manner.
Field Service Engineer, Lam Research 2012 to 2014
• Provided customer support for the C3-Vector PECVD, and Sola UV Cure thin
film tools by targeting and repairing issues regarding film thickness, range, stress,
and defects.
• Troubleshot process/defect issues by performing mechanical partitioning,
chamber and gas line leak checking, and quality calibration of gas flow, pressure,
RF power, and vacuum pumping speeds.
• Responsibilities included training other FSE’s and customer techs on proper
troubleshooting, maintenance and operation of all modules on the Vector and Sola
toolsets.
Game Repair & Rentals, Courtesy Coin Inc 2010 to 2012
• Troubleshot and repaired pinball/arcade machines for electronic, mechanical and
software related issues which ensured continuous operation of equipment.
• Ensured all games and tools where safely secured in delivery vehicles which eliminated
risk of damage to machines.
• Presented self in a courteous and professional manner when dealing with clients and
individuals.
Game Technician, Dave and Busters 2011 to 2011
• Troubleshot and repaired all gaming equipment that resulted in a continuous high percent
of games in working order every night, kept work areas and game floor clean of debris
and garbage.
3. • Accurately reported a summary of night time activity that enabled a smooth and
productive flow of work into the next day.
