My background spans construction trades, custom fabrication, CNC operation, and fabrication engineering. At Acoufelt, I focus on the connection between engineering and operations, technical standards and documentation, and developing the engineering team.

EDUCATION & TRAINING
Learning alongside the work
Grand Circus
Full stack JavaScript Bootcamp
September 2022 - December 2022
Started with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, then Node. Most of the course work used React paired with TypeScript, with backend Web APIs, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, and Postman. Git/GitHub was used throughout, including branches and pull requests in group projects.
The broader design toolkit comes from the existing project records and my tool inventory, not solely from the profile PDF.
The Grand Circus entry above records the training technologies. PostgreSQL is listed as training experience, not as part of the MongoDB-based Celestial Typer project.
Reported 90-day trial, retained grip, and $35 per-unit replacement versus the stated original $45–$65 range. Original photos, videos, drawing, and saved variants.
Room modeling, drawing production, and owner-documented project development.
A Fusion room model paired with the actual basement construction: exposed drains, supply lines, and the tiled shower that followed. The bathroom now exists in our house.
Data retrieval, aggregation and chart-component integration.
My chart and data-visualization contribution to a collaborative React and TypeScript application.
2022About this career record
Role titles, month/year dates, responsibilities, listed skills, and education are drawn from my supplied three-page LinkedIn profile export. The descriptions are a first-person career account. Individual project pages show their own artifacts, results, and collaborators.
Overlapping dates are preserved. The timeline is not presented as uninterrupted employment. Grand Circus appears once here as a training event, rather than being counted twice because it appears in both Experience and Education in the export.
