SKILLS:

Management: Management: Business payroll/accounting, quoting materials / labor for high-value jobs, conflict mediation, long-term business planning strategies for weathering industry changes, & implementation of a system to keep overages at or below 20% from job-to-job.

Cost-estimation: Development of cost-estimation strategies that protecting two parties from project overages, while maintaining high-quality workmanship & oversight. Customer retention stayed at ~95% over 10 years, through process tracking & optimization.

Risk-Assessment: Development of safety plans for keeping employees safe during high-risk ventures. By taking a scientific approach to safety plan optimization, we had zero incidents requiring hospitalization or severe injury over the 28 year span.

Software: Software: Coding for Arduino, AI implen' strategies, virtual machine porting for legacy sys' automation, creating localized/sand-boxed AI systems on portable machines for experimentation in training-data-isolation to prevent hallucinations; extensive work with very large CSVs in excel, gnumeric & librecalc, most comfortable with Linux & open-source.

Shop Hardware: Extensive experience diagnosing, repairing, operating, & modifying a wide-range of industrial, laboratory & workshop tools; including but not-limited-to: high/low voltage elec' systems, automation via relay / pneumatic systems, multi-channel microfluidics, spectroscopic/chemical analysis tools. Experienced with most wood/metal-shop tools.

Optics & Optical-Hardware: Comfortable with a wide-range of opto-mechanical/metrological hardware, such as: pinhole assemblies, high/low-power laser systems (fiber, gas-tube, diode), safety interlocks, interferometers, op' choppers, spectrometers, repair/op' of Hitatchi S4500 scanning electron microscope, sputter coaters, deflectometers, elipsometers, etc'.

HOBBIES & VOLUNTEER POSITIONS:

Botany, Micology, & MicroBio: Collection & identification of native plant species including edible mushrooms; using safe & established characteristic-mapping techniques to make a positive ID.

Climbing & Mountaineering: Accomplished mountaineer, trad rock climber & free solo enthusiast. Have taught professional classes in crevasse-rescue & rope-ascension techniques.
