"The Digital Guru"

I use to have a cellphone, computer and networking service in which I created an reputable name for myself as a technical enthusiast and "digital guru". (See the FB Page Below) I've since moved on in my endeavors, but am still very much known as "The Digital Guru" amongst my friends and previous clients. I'm still keeping busy building developments my scheduling career seems to demand & this site was created and meant to encourage my continued quest forwards!

  • Field Engineer
  • Construction Estimator
  • Project Scheduler
  • Project Manager
  • Web Developer
  • Electronics Tech
  • Network Installer
  • Hard Working Team Player
  • Ambitious Self-Starter

I am proficient in Microsoft 365 including Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Outlook. I am proficient in Primavera P6, Scheduling & Tracking, Estimating, Docker, Tensor Flow Machine Learning, Arduino, C++, MySQL, PHP, HTML, Bootstrap, CSS, Python, Linux, Windows, and ChatGPT. I possess a steadfast code of ethics and loyalty otherwise. ...

I started at a young age working for myself cutting grass. I sold this business to a family member to pursue my education and started working part time jobs / and again for myself, fixing cellphones, fixing computers, installing video surveillance, and contracting my programming and networking skills any way demand presented itself.

I ran out of my Pell grant in my senior year of engineering, working with NASA and Virgin Galactic on launching a pico-satellite into low-earth orbit, and jumped in the field of industrial electrical installations on my tools as an electrical apprentice and later as an instrument fitter. I was quickly recognized for my experience and passion in computers and electrical engineering and became a field engineer; then progressed into the role of a project scheduler.

I continue to apply a wide range of skills and disciplines in my current roles and specialize in automating, consolidating, and implementing solutions of efficiency built on a background of hard work and entrepreneurial endeavors.
