I am a retired IT Engineer and Pro with a strong background in Electronics and HIFI Technologies. I have 50 years experience in electronics and IT starting with Electronics Circuit design in the 70s. I worked on all versions of Windows Technology, Database Design, Workstation Software, Workstation Hardware including Desktops and Laptops, and Plug and Play software/hardware techniques. I hold a complete MCSE designation which shows my flexibility and ability to assume new technologies.
I have been working with low voltage electronics since the 70s, and extensive experience with hand designed circuitry and manual soldering techniques. Much like brick layers, it is a lost art in todays environment to find expertise in prototyping and design.
Since my high school days, I have worked with nearly every type of photography. I was one of the early adopters of digital camera tech. I purchased one of the first digital cameras for consumers designed by Kodak. I have taken and converted film to digital photos for many years.
I have worked with Corporations and museums alike. I have designed for EDS, LeMay Auto Museum, Guy Carpenter, JCPenney, Pacific Stereo and Sears on the consumer electronics side. I am one of the few remaining component level technicians, which means that I can isolate and design all the way to the individual resistor, capacitor, or inductor. I hold certifications for the original CD/DVD design and repair.
I hold experience in both analog and digital circuits. I design in both disciplines, and can assist with electronic circuits in both environments. Block level and component level design experience on a daily basis. I worked in IT for EDS, Guy Carpenter, Marsh, and Government contractors.
I have built and designed WEB products at the word level in three different design languages. I have experience in troubleshooting webpage issues at all HTML levels. In todays tech world, those skills are often left untapped and unnoticed. They simply show adaptability, but not much more.
I spent over 10 years as a Desktop Engineer with experience in interoperability of Hardware, Software, PNP and peripherals in design and deployment for over 3000 workstations. Both in office and remote environs. I had to insure seamless connectivity between desktop, WEB and Mainframe technologies.
Retired Expert with Knowledge to Share
I have selected to work with xTool hardware in procuring and licensing physical projects using 20W Laser. Software planning and project creation is part of the graphical and textual interface used to manage each project and concept. This tool enables me to work with metal engraving and all types of woodworking. I added a UV laser and a bed extension to allow banner style and metal style projects.
