Work History
- Information Technology Technician 2013-2017
LTI Information Technology, Ann Arbor, MI -
Before my current post, I established a 4-year track record, paving a path of successful network configuration, troubleshooting, & security implementation as a NETWORK TECHNICIAN with LTI INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY. To accomplish this, I designed, diagnosed, and rectified network issues to steer the corresponding initiatives toward a specific and commercially meaningful direction, and fulfilled 100% of business outcomes in result. At the ground-level, I proved myself an effective team member by mobilizing technical knowledge, team cooperation, and inspiring group attitudes toward tackling collective hurdles. Prioritizing constant attention to high-level business objectives, I ensured detailed yet succinct & engaging liaison with stakeholders at all levels.

Duckworth & Associates, Plymouth, MI -
In my most recent role as a CONTROLS ENGINEER with DUCKWORTH & ASSOCIATES, I spearhead end-to-end operations over the firm’s automation and control function, from system design and cloud-based infrastructure development, through to remote monitoring and troubleshooting. Managing the full-cycle of industrial automation, I converged divergent efforts across multiple objectives by translating my core competencies of cross-functional collaboration, control system implementation, and technical support into purposeful action that generated significant returns for DUCKWORTH & ASSOCIATES. In doing so, I exercised a leadership style balancing efficiency, innovation, and problem-solving. My chief focus was achieving operational results company-wide while championing reliability, productivity, and cost-effectiveness through each process.
