I head off the electronics department at the factory I work at. I am also their second in line machinist. I hold my aws welding certificate, 3yrs auto mechanic school. I'm certified for confined space work, and have my arc flash electrical safety training. I'm certified to work with 14,700 volts ac and below. I'm the project coordinator for machine vision and automation, and also design the systems. I deal with distributor relationships, and get to attend most automation and packaging expos and fairs. I will be enrolling back into school come spring for software development, and hopefully electrical engineering.
Not too shabby for be 23 with no degree lol. I've worked with the systems encountered since I was 18, and worked under some amazing teachers.
The more I get involved with herps, the more I want to design control systems that make out days easier. Networked room diagnostic, with thermal sensors ( or cameras) that relay the current conditions to your smartphone or computer. Just an idea that I'm currently working to design.
I also volunteer for my local fire department and hold many certificates for related fields. Dive license, hazmat, rapid intervention team, repelling, pump operator, and driving cert.
