Professional Profile:
I have over 21 years of experience in electronics in various aptitudes acquired from formal and informal
training, which include 12 years with Parsons TSSC IV as an Electronics Technician, contracted by the
FAA. During my tenure, I supported many sustainment and National Airspace (NAS) facilities
modernization projects throughout Technical Operations, Northeast and Southeast regions. I utilize
knowledge and experience gained from a plethora of specialized professions (i.e. masonry, concrete,
drywall, welding, and mechanical; electrical and structural) modifying infrastructures, integrating new
systems with legacy systems, and procuring materials required for installations.
I possess adept knowledge in installing, calibrating, and maintenance repair (corrective and preventive) of
multiple integrated air traffic control computer/communications systems. I have provided maintenance
and installation support for navigational systems to ensure the safety and integrity of the NAS within the
airport, air traffic control tower (ATCT), Automated Flight Service Stations (AFSS), and Air Route
Control Centers (ARTCC). I have acted as a lead technician on a wide range of projects to include
replacement of environmental systems (i.e. ventilation, heating and cooling systems, power generators,
high and low voltage electrical systems).
I hold an Associate’s Degree in Electronics (A.A.S Electronics), which has equipped me with essential
knowledge in the theory of electronics, and abilities to perform work safely and proficiently. I possess
strong leadership skills and competent background in construction installation, reading schematics and
floor plans, applying electrical code, troubleshooting, preventative and corrective maintenance routines,
and onsite project management as a lead technician with duties that also include identifying and managing
required resources. With an extensive background in project coordination and collaborations with system
engineers I am successful in all mitigating and vetting efforts to ensure stakeholder requirements are met
fully. Other in-depth skills and proficiencies include providing on-the-job training and project oversight in
relation to technical matters.
Additional competencies include technical report writing, industrial project management, and problem-
solving without management supervision. I have a broad background and experience in information
technology (IT), which includes proficiencies in network administration, installation and management of
T1/T3 components, UNIX administration/Security tools and utilities. I also have received training in
Cisco and Dell DCSE applications. Consistently, I provide exemplary customer service in support of a
fast-paced industry and building relationships among customers.
