SOFT SKILLS & ATTRIBUTES

Fast Learner

The most important skill I have is my ability to learn. I learn very fast and can adapt to whatever the needs of the employer are. I am undaunted by new challenges and seek to learn new things wherever possible.

Strong Manager

I have experience managing talented professionals and wish to continue managing. I am adaptive to the needs of my team. When a strong team is in place, a light touch is all that is needed to drive success. I also have experience managing individuals that require more direct intervention.

Communicator

I recognize the importance of strong communication within an organization. Transparency, professionalism and documentation are paramount to effective operations.

Self Motivated

I am driven by a sense of pride to always perform at my top level. I am eager to go into work each day.

Disciplined and Organized

I consider myself highly displined and organized. I believe organized work environments lead to smoother operations and higher quality of work.

Resourceful & "Scrappy" Problem Solver

I am used to working in conditions where resources are minimal, the stakes are high and the problem seems insurmountable. I love finding innovative solutions in these scenarios.

TECHNICAL SKILLS & ABILITIES

Machine & Fabrication Shop

I have years of daily experience with various machine shop equipment. For the majority of the machines I designed, I was also the one making the parts and frames. I am comfortable with:

  • Manual Knee Mills (Bridgeports)

  • Lathes (Clausing, Southbend & More)

  • CNC Mills (KM30 controls and MachMotion controls)

  • Manual feed surface grinders (Harig)

  • Welding (MIG & Oxy-fuel)

  • Various other tooling (drill presses, hand tools, etc)

Electrical Wiring and Design

For all the machines I built, I designed and wired the electrical systems. I've designed and fully built more electrical cabinets than I can count.

Robotics

I am experienced with Fanuc Robots. I have integrated a Fanuc SCARA in a build, repaired several six-axis' and programmed a handful. I also have replaced harmonic reducers, fixed wiring harnesses and performed PMs.

​

I have also integrated and programmed two PreciseFlex Cobots.

CAD

When I started at Automatic Spring Products Corporation, we were still designing machines in 2D CAD (AutoCad) and transitioned to 3D CAD in 2017 (Autodesk Inventor). I personally designed all the mechanical parts for my machine builds and did electrical schematics in AutoCad (standard edition, not electrical). I feel confident I would have no problem transitioning to other parametric 3D software like SolidWorks.

PLC, HMI & Drive Programming

I am very experienced in Allen Bradley's industrial ecosystem. I've written numerous programs from the ground up and troubleshooted tons of legacy code.

I have limited experience in Siemens TIA Portal but do enjoy the interface a lot.

For drives, I am most experienced with Lenze drive systems and have very limited experience with PowerFlex drives.

Computer Programming & Technology

I am an experienced programmer that has been programming recreationally since I was a kid. I've been programming professionally for 9 years. Languages and technologies I've worked in include:

  • AI systems: Meta Llama, Google Tensor Flow, OpenAI GPT APIs

  • Languages: Python, C#, VB variants and more.

  • Databasing: T-SQL

  • Interfacing: Rest APIs, OPC, MQTT, Webhooks

  • Network communications

  • Computer engineering & hardware design

  • PCB design and outsource fabrication

High Intelligence

Normally modesty would prevent me from discussing this, but as this is a job search, it is important to give an honest overview of who I am.

I am very fortunate to be gifted with a high IQ and am a member of Mensa. I've been evaluated by a licensed psychologist to have an IQ of 145 on the WAIS-R intelligence scale. This gives me a percentile score of 99.85%. I do have full documentation that I can provide upon request.

IQ is a sensitive topic that can never really be discussed without being perceived as boastful. As such, I never, ever bring it up in the workplace but instead prefer my intelligence to be recognized by strong performance and successes against the challenges presented to me. I am eager to put my intellect to work for you.

Style Analysis

At Automatic Spring, we performed a "style analysis" that looks at what our personal values are when managing, being managed and accomplishing goals. The primary categories were:

  • Task and Speed

  • People and Persuasion

  • Stability and Harmony

  • Perfection and Analysis

My results skewed heavily toward Task and Speed followed by Perfection and Analysis.

I find these results to be an accurate reflection of myself as I am goal oriented and always want to do better.

Personality & Teamwork

I consider myself mostly reserved. I don't think of myself as either an introvert or extrovert. During meetings, I love to engage and drive the discussion to the task at hand. I feel confident in talking to lots of people. When you first meet me, you would probably consider me highly extroverted. However I also have lots of introverted characteristics. I like to stay in my office and quietly be "in-the-zone" rather than being highly social.
