Put out fires and prevented others. NPI and production quality engineer for internet appliance, departmental, and workgroup server product lines.

I spent more time than I’d like to admit chasing assembly issues with putting Intel Inside and Windows OS version stickers on correctly, and I debugged a bunch of factory test scripts, and helped catch product config bugs that escaped our product development system tests.
