At Google [X] I have been lucky enough to get to work on scaling systems up to a production level and take on original design work for new request from the ground up. I assist in training and coaching employees in my core group and throughout [X]. ‬Technical management and troubleshooting of SolidWorks, PDM inside EPDM and PLM inside Agile. Manage incoming work for a team of three people while assisting with the creation of the infrastructure for scaling our team out to cover increasing demand.

We make dreams into reality by going from partial or full concepts into prototyping into manufacturing. Most of the time we focus on the medical field, but building manufacturing machines, consumer electronics and modifying vehicles is in our portfolio. I love my job and the people I work with.

Hawk Ridge is a SolidWorks VAR consistently ranked number one in the world for sales. The team at Hawk Ridge is very well versed in the kind of things it takes to get projects completed with the assistance of SolidWorks. I enjoyed my time at Hawk Ridge and their formula for customer service will continue to keep them among the top VARs in the world.

I worked as an independent contractor while going to school and a little while after. The type of work varied from contracts with the State of California, AT&T Data Centers, and Dell as an on-site service technician. Towards the end of my time here I was promoted to Job Site captain managing the relationships with other vendors and 1-2 people working on my team.
