Introduction
Good day,
Thank you for visiting my page here on Ryze. After a long search I have landed (see below) so my "elevator pitch" below is probably no longer needed, but I will keep it here as a general intro to who I am and what I do.
By way of introduction - My "elevator pitch" is "I am distinguished telecommunications/avionics system designer focusing on backplane design and chassis, bay and system level architectures. I have been particularly effective in producing quality designs, lowering cost, verifying system functionality and reducing schedule interval. My organization developed a world class first-of-its-kind product in a record interval. My strengths include attention to detail, quality work and an ability to quickly address needs and emergencies."
I am part of a variety of NJ networking groups, specifically -- Yet Another Networking Group - Ocean County (YANG-OC) http://groups.yahoo.com/group/yang-oc/
Feel free to message me for more details.
