Throughout my career I have contributed to impacting reliability, quality and design engineering through effective organization, prioritization, and execution of key projects. My unique set of skills and diverse talent could be an ideal match for the engineering positions your team might be looking for. I can bring immediate value to your corporate goals, plus I have an excellent history of delivering projects and products on time and on schedule. In my present Systems Engineer/Reliability Engineering role, I exercise a calculated and methodical approach to problem solving complex problems and design integration issues. I am independently motivated, yet I appreciate team efforts and collaborating productively within groups. Additionally, I am knowledgeable in project management and quality control with proficiency in operating systems problem identification and resolution. My experience level is USAF aviation and ground-based systems, USN, NAVAIR, shipboard and subsurface systems, USMC aviation, as well as foreign government support and acquisition programs. I also have experience in flight and maintenance trainer design\ integration.
