Hopefully
You’ll let me be your instructor in your quest to learn Electronics!
I was born almost 40 years ago on a U.S. Army base in Germany to two loving parents. When I was 16 years old I decided I wasn’t getting enough out of High School, graduated early by testing out and joined the Army myself as a 31V10 (31 victor 10) which is a Secret Tactical Communications Operator Mechanic!
Up to the point I joined the Army
I was always fascinated by Electronics and how different components work
together in circuits to make a design work and more importantly how to be able
to create my own designs.
With a little hard work on my part by the time I was Honorably Discharged from the Army I had enough education under my belt to really strike out in the world of electronics. So my first job after my discharge was with Motorola Communications in Miami Florida where I learned all there was to know about the commercial side of two-way radio technology.
To make a very long story short, after
many successful and lucrative jobs in the electronics industry I finally
settled on design engineering as my passion and forte’.
So you can better understand the scope of my skills and experience I have decided to include my current resume for you to look over.

HISTORY: PRESENT: January 2002 to
August 2002
Senior Member
Technical Staff of Flextronics Intl’ Inc
Hardware Engineering and
Design Department. (SMTS-HW) Based in
Richardson Texas at the Commerce Design Center, I served as a Senior,
Professional, Electronics Hardware Engineer and project manager for Flextronics
and excelled in all my endeavors and assignments. Near the end of my tenure in August 2002 just prior to my
resignation for personal reasons I was hand picked to manage 8 troubleshooting
technicians that were flown in from Colorado and Brazil and 4 of my engineering
colleagues to “rescue” a multi-million dollar telecom production project from
disaster in the manufacturing plant that was the property of a major telecom
corporation.
Senior Hardware
Engineer September 2000 to January 2002
DNA Enterprises Inc.
(www.dnaent.com), an electronics-consulting firm of 100 software and hardware
design engineers. September 2000 to January 2002 until the company closed its
doors due to the decline of the technical business market.
Among my many assignments
I participated on such projects as a multi-million dollar, high-speed, OC-48,
TELECOM design for a local start up company.
The design was for an ADM system that sat on a SONET metro fiber optic
ring and served the connected end clients with various formats of voice and
data at various rates with managed QOS and bandwidth allocation control with an
upgrade path to OC-192.
I also served on a
military weapons project that involved the video for a missile system. There
were many other such design projects.
In January 2002 the majority of the design
team (25 hardware and software engineers including myself) were “sold” to
Flextronics Intl’ Inc. (www.flextronics.com).
This 16 billion dollar a year electronic manufacturing company decided
to break into the electronics design business in order to fulfill their new
business model for becoming a “full service” electronic manufacturing and
design corporation.
In order to accomplish
this they needed a working design group so they purchased the DNA Enterprises
Inc. design group, which included a select core group of the best talent. I
made the cut and was awarded full tenure as a Senior Member Technical Staff of
Flextronics Intl’ Inc.

If you feel that
I may be of service to your company or a potential asset please don’t hesitate to call or email me. I look forward to visiting your company for
an interview and will be bringing examples of my work along with several of my
past performance reviews to share with you.
Thank you for
your time, attention and consideration.
This will not only give you the confidence that I am capable of
teaching you the skills and knowledge that I have learned over the years but
give you a good example of the salary you can expect if you’re good. This is what your resume could look like if
you work real hard and get started early like I did. There’s an exhaustive amount of material and techniques to learn
and there’s no time like the present to better yourself.
