Resume:
<<summaryi am an automation developer with a love for troubleshooting and electronics. this passion for automation started at micro center in 2017, where i began finding ways to simplify my reports to upper management. these reports took several hours to compile and took the time i could have spent guiding my agents. eventually, i started finding ways to gather that data through an api. after discovering i could collect this information and use apis to simplify tasks, i started programming software to do these things. this new skill helped change how i approached my team's problems & complaints and eventually led to me creating tools to improve our efficiency and productivity. passion has grown into a career that keeps me wanting to learn more. skills systems engineering & lab
