INTRODUCTION
From my career, I have learned to adapt quickly to new environments and management styles by handling many operators and their diverse teams and cultures.
When handling challenging performance issues, I have many times navigated the company culture to very high impact on technical performance.
I am looking to broaden my scope by applying more analysis to statistics and alarms.
