Professional background
Before the current software portfolio, I ran service operations and worked inside the physical environments those systems support. This archive preserves that history and the practical constraints it taught me; it is not the primary description of my current work.
Some photos from my appliance repair work. NEVER DO APPLIANCE REPAIR!
First time a manufacturer called me to repair a high value item.

Just a god awful mess i was asked to figure out, the customer did not like the quote and continued with temp fixes.
Contracted to do low impact overnight network rack rebuild and cutover for Ulta.

Some water fried this bad boy, interestingly the water that killed it got into a light and caused a short. Had nothing to do with the Garmin in the cabin. Just an inadequately isolated (not even a fuse) power supply.

This is the light that killed all other electronic equipment on the boat! So wonderful.

The customer wanted me to just reuse this Deutsch connector, NO WAY!

This is the the new unit that replaced the old garmin once i successfully got an isolated circuit for it to live on. Notice there is actually a FUSE!
