>> the 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. Since then, my passion has grown into a career that keeps me wanting to learn more.
