Professional Summary

My goal is to find a position that would allow me to get into either product testing and failure modes or design.  As a long term goal and interest I want to contribute to the development of sustainable energy systems or the implementation of hybrid systems. I have demonstrated technical support skills such as programming, design drafting, material testing and product failure testing.  Proven capacity to build teams, multi task, manage business operations, complete projects and exceed business goals.  Provide experience in engines, design, end user testing and performance evaluation.
