Inventory Control Specialist at Arvato / CoreWeave Assignment (2026-06 – Present)

• Co-developed a standardized cable inventory system for an operation that lacked a consistent organization method, reorganizing stock by cable length and introducing visual labeling so material locations became predictable and easy to retrieve.
• Fulfill cable and equipment requests, receive and organize inventory, verify rack asset tags, and prepare racks and associated materials for shipment onsite.

Data Center Installer at ATC / Arvato (2025-09 – 2026-06)

• Supported high-volume hyperscale rack deployments averaging roughly 20 racks per day, including rack positioning, leveling, grounding, cable verification, CAT6/fiber patching, routing, dressing, and containment.
• Resolved incorrect deployment cable labeling by tracing usable identifiers through the infrastructure, recognizing the underlying pattern, and determining the correct patch locations so the delivery could keep moving.
• Led colo-side deployment work, providing hands-on direction and training in patching, cable dressing, containment, and installation quality.
• Selected for travel support in Atlanta when additional technical deployment experience was needed; frequently assigned to difficult deliveries and high-volume patching work.

Data Center Technician at TEKsystems (2024-09 – 2025-03)

• Supported pre-rack deployment by labeling cables, routing and dropping them through waterfalls, and staging infrastructure for rack installation teams.
• Supported CAT6 and fiber cabling of IDF rows during construction of a new data center.
• Moved into break/fix operations during the second half of the contract, replacing DIMMs/memory, PSUs, individual CAT6 and fiber cables, and performing cable cleanup and remediation.

Computer Repair Technician at EmbarkIT (2023-10 – 2024-08)

• Diagnosed and repaired approximately 80 Lenovo laptops per week as a Lenovo-certified technician, troubleshooting system boards, power boards, LCDs, trackpads, keyboards, Wi-Fi cards, and physical hardware damage.
• Helped redesign a severely backlogged school-district repair workflow with organized, status-based laptop staging and a focused effort on aged tickets; average turnaround fell from 262 days to 30 days and reached approximately 14 days at its best.
• Studied recurring trackpad failures, developed and documented a repair method that avoided unnecessary parts orders, and created a similar process for obstructed AUX ports using a specialized 3D-printed tool.
• Established a reusable scrap-parts area so minor failures could be repaired without replacing complete assemblies; also created a bulk-parts ordering spreadsheet concept and managed work through ConnectWise.

Cable Technician at EmbarkIT (2021-06 – 2022-08)

• Installed and patched CAT6 cabling throughout school facilities, supported communications infrastructure, and installed and configured interactive classroom display systems.
