Experience
Cable Technician
Spectrum Cable
February 2016 - July 2017
Austin, Texas
As a Cable Technician I troubleshot residential customers' cable and vo-ip systems. Levels would be gathered from the tap to the home to the outlet to verify correct signal levels at each point. Replacement of CPE (customer premise equipment) may also be necessary as well as replacing cable lines and CAT V for telephony/ethernet. Additionally, basic networking troubleshooting may be necessary such as release or renew of IP. My technical expertise and motivation to address all issues in a single visit was recognized by my superiors through a weekly performance metric. Additionally, of the course of the nearly year and a half there, all of my customers that were surveyed gave me the highest possible ranking .

To troubleshoot coding errors, first the issue must be noticed. Then, using the built in developer tools in chrome, I can quickly find the faulty line of code and test temporary changes in the code.

I find that giving weekly updates to my progress on a project will give others a rough timeline as to when to expect a merging of works
Good communication with team

As an avid fan of RTS' I understand the value of learning hotkeys and their implementation. Storing macros is the next step.
