Summary:
I am skilled working with my hands and problem solving. My main profession has been as a civil engineer for almost 10 years but I am also a PADI certified Open Water Scuba Instructor. I worked on theater sets for 5 years including painting, MIG welding, carpentry, lighting and set design. I was a project manager for 2 years doing interior renovations in the US, giving me fundamental knowledge of interior construction requirements. Additionally, I spent 4 years on weekends (and seasonally some weekdays) as a caterer and landscaper on a 90-acre (35 hectare) farm for weddings and business parties which included cook prep, as a lead cook, setup and lockup of facilities, the use of a bobcat lift, and zero-turn mower, including the maintenance associated with the equipment. I am good with computers. Overall, I have a diverse set of skills, hardworking with a 'can-do' attitude, and am a quick learner if new skills are needed.
