Summary

I have worked in the sheet metal industry since April 2018. Starting out as a laborer before moving to machine operator. I have performed almost every job available in the company. Ranging from building switchboard cabinets, running the Turrets, painting(etching and powder coating), monthly stocktake, and everything in between. I learned Turret operation on the AMADA 2510KING and A255 models. Since 2023 I worked as a press brake operator, working on the Trumpf V85 model.
