As a proficient Automation and Performance Engineer, I grasp the complexity of difficult systems. I was responsible for the design of and implementation of an automated end to end test for the Appliances resulting in less than 0.5% downtime because of upgrades. I also designed a complex Performance test that included 20 temporary nodes and could return data in a day versus a week. I was also responsible for training new employees on how our products worked and generally helped them when they were blocked.With 7 years of hands on experience in technical support, 2 years of project management engineering, and a BS in Computer Engineering from San Jose State University, I have gained crucial engineering knowledge and experience with designing, building, and troubleshooting digital circuits, developing and testing hardware written in Verilog, developing Object-Oriented programs in C++, and writing technical documentation. As a Manager/Engineer on a web database project, I was able to expand the functionality and usability of the database by teaching my teammates how to use the .NET programming environment. This allowed our team to exceed the project’s original requirements. Before releasing the software I also administered rigorous testing methods that ensured the final product was bug free and functioned accurately. This extra work allowed me to practice my project manager skills while also learning how to develop web based applications.I have always been an active leader amongst my colleagues. I am a self-motivated, efficient, passionate, and an adaptable person; I excel working on projects requiring teamwork but also thoroughly enjoy working independently. By combining my professional experience with my Engineering education, I feel I can be a major contributor for your engineering or project management team.Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you.Specialties: C++/C, VB and C# programing experienceVHDL digital designEmbedded Systems design
