Maintain facility and repair machinery and equipment for an online retail pharmacy. Responsible for repairing all components of an electro-mechanical conveyor system, stretch wrap machine, automated box taper and labeling machine. Perform routine preventative maintenance on all equipment and machinery on a regular basis. Trained and certified using industrial lift trucks. Trained in Arc Flash/Blast prevention and Lockout/Tagout.

Conducted software and hardware tests on home automation electronics including: audio-video switchers, receivers, transmitters, input and output media cards. Documented test results and perform any hardware and software updates needed for proper operation of equipment. Completed Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Training and Customer Relationship Management Training (CRM). Increased productivity by 300% through developing a method to test multiple products at once. Designed a mounting platform that allows safe and sturdy stacking of heavy devices.

Worked with commercial business to reduce energy usage and lower their utility costs by conducting surveys of commercial facilities, presenting energy saving technologies, completing orders, and developing more clientele. Developed Excel spreadsheets that analyzed electrical energy expenditures and predicted savings as a result of implementing energy efficient technology.

Constructed testing samples of magnetic rubber, optimized the sample construction process, and researched alternative methods of sample construction in a project titled Magneto Rheological Elastomers. These samples were tested in a magnetic field to evaluate their ability to dampen loads and vibrations. The study was later presented at the Annual STEM Symposium at Rowan University.
