Objective To obtain a challenging and technically oriented position in a f
ield where my skills and knowledge of technology, business, leadership, astronom
y, physics, biology, chemistry, electrical engineering, and computer science ski
lls in an stimulating environment can be a
innovative benefit to the organization.
Personality When presented with a problem, I will immediately use all availa
ble resources to find the solution as quickly as possible and will not sleep unt
il a solution is found to my satisfication. Even if I do not have knowledge abo
ut something, I will do my best to learn it on my own using my own time if neces
sary. I am generally knowledgeable in many various areas that are not covered i
n my resume. There has been various times when no known solution is available u
sing any resource but I will develop my own solution within a short period of ti
me. I have always been a early adopter of new technology before it is widely kn
own and available in huge quantities to the general public. I am able to solve
issues both locally, remotely and have instructed others via telephone who have
no experience at all with detailed instructions to minimize downtime and custome
r satisfaction. I am generally available 24x7, 365 days a year.
