      Jun 2012 - Jun 2013
      Trainee electronic technician

      In my role as an electronic technician, I rigorously applied OSHA Health and Safety rules and First Aid techniques to maintain a secure and safe working environment. Was adept at identifying the right tools for specific tasks, using a digital multimeter to measure current and voltage, and designing power and control circuits for AC and DC motors. My skills also encompass identifying and connecting various electrical and electronic components and recognizing basic process control instruments. By leveraging fault-finding techniques, I successfully troubleshoot complex electronic circuits. Furthermore, I designed and wired electric circuits controlled by switches and applied basic wiring connections to relay panels. I even had the opportunity to design and install the wiring of distribution boards in households, extending my skills into practical, everyday applications. Show less
