During the 10 years I worked for F5 I was the lead technician on 7 different new F5 products from the 1st stage prototypes to pre-manufacturing. During which time I supported everything from intricate electronic repair on prototype motherboards to distribution and tracking of full prototype systems to various other F5 facilities. I ordered supplies and equipment for the engineering lab. I also provided computer support for the lab. The computer support included OS installation, specialized engineering software (i.e. Mentor Graphics) installation and software updates (removing and replacing older computers to run our newest software). In between and during major projects I completed primary and secondary component testing as well as system testing that included thermal and mechanical testing. I also worked with other companies to provide offsite vibration testing. System software was based on Linux so I was proficient in navigating the Linux command line as well as Python code in order to manipulate code for the purpose of automated testing.

Contributed to many different products for alpha to production phase. My latest contribution being towards a spray cooled super computer.Responsibilities included integration, troubleshooting, and test of prototype and pre-production assemblies; including thermal testing of prototype assemblies, setup of test equipment and computer software for data acquisition, and characterization of units.Inspection and repair Return Material Authorization (RMA) units, perform and report failure analysis (FA) and familiarization with Failure Reporting Analysis, Corrective Action System (FRACAS). Data center prototype cooling solution installation into rack servers. Able to operate Keithly data capture instrumentation, oscilloscopes, multimeters, flow meters, frequency generators, test fixtures, and characterization chambers.Leadership of Integration Lab with special attention to developing and delivering training for ESD, tool control, and 5S policies including floor stock supply. Experienced in soldering thru-hole, SMT and trace repair and Able to read complex to simple electronic schematics to repair or assemble electronic circuitsSpecialties:Soldering, trouble shooting electro/mechanical systems,

PC monitor repair of Point-of-sales computer systems that included small component and chip replacement to repair of badly damaged PCB repair (i.e. holes burned though PCB material) replacing damaged traces and incorporating lost components to bring systems back to life. It was also my first introduction to Unix systems and Unix command line.

Aircraft Mechanic (Crew Chief) on the F-117A Nighthawk Stealth Fighter. Granted Secret Security Clearance, and was stationed overseas to Kuwait twice. Assigned to flight line maintenance and worked up to Phase inspection. Where I completed major inspection and repair that increased my knowledge of aircraft maintenance.
