- Web Developer IT Specialist - This certification is thru Certiport and focused on HTML and CSS - After full semester of Web Dev coursework
- JavaScript IT Specialist - JavaScript certification this was also preceeded by a semeter of coursework. The semester did focus on frameworks like React but the certification was mostly based around vanilla javascript OOP in the DOM
- SQL Database IT Specialist - After a semester of my Database course we took this exam, learned a lot about designing databases, implementing them in the cloud and using them within projects written in Python but have used SQL in .NET/C# code bases.
- AWS Cloud Practitioner - Cloud Computing course offered this exam at the end of the semester. I believe most of the course work was provided by Amazon and focused on AWS. Learning the meta view of the platform, learning what their products do, pricing, availability and labs deploying instances with use of some products.
- High School Diploma - Pierce City High School - 3.6 GPA
- Ozark Tech - Currently Enrolled ~3.4 and climbing, based in Springfield, MO. This is a technical school while it is small, they have a fantastic program and practical training. I know for a fact I have more real world skills, in 2 years, than most bachelor degree students from much larger universities.
- Missouri State University - Accepted and waiting to enroll in courses. Will most likely be going to both institutions simultaneously because some courses to finish Ozark Tech are only running one semester a year
- Welder/CNC Operator/Fabricator - I worked for Architectural Systems Incorporated. This was one of my favorite jobs because of what we were building. If you are familiar with the SalesForce Transit Station, we build the "curtain" which is the alluminum outter "shell." It's alluminum with geometric cutouts here is a photo. Also worked on some of the inner soffit.
- Production Technician - This job spread accross multiple companies, theaters, and venues. I was mostly contracted but was in charge of the Remingtons Event Center in Springfield, MO. I was also able to work in Las Vegas building stages for EDC. These were amazing experiences that taught me team work, safety, attention to detail and working in a dynamic environment with a lot going on. I've attached a photo to one of the stages I helped errect. It is really hard to put to scale in a photo. One of the most exciting jobs of my life.
- Prepress Technician - I've been at Southern Missouri Containers for almost 3 years now. I have learned a lot about the manufacturing process. I have researched "Lean 6 Sigma" practices and it really drives a lot of my projects today. I know that it was created around manufacturing practices, saving time, logging everything, doing your best to be as efficeint as possible. I think that is extremely important. Here I've mostly worked with the production schedule. I meet with supervisors to ensure we had consistent runs with very little downtime. Providing tools, repairing tooling, ensuring inks are created correctly, and much more!
