In 2009 I began my apprenticeship as a microscope service technician, gaining extensive knowledge and expertise in the maintenance and calibration of microscopes of all major manufacturers. With comprehensive training from Jim Short on the mechanical and optical assemblies of microscopes, I’ve developed a deep understanding of these complex instruments, enabling me to perform maintenance and calibration procedures that ensure optimal performance. In 2013, I received advanced training from Nikon Metrology on maintenance and calibration procedures for Nikon comparators and measurescopes.

My interest in metrology took root in 2013 as I began my technical management training through Quametec Corporation. This experience ignited a passion that has only grown stronger over the years. In 2016, I was entrusted with the role of Quality Manager, a position that has required me to maintain and demonstrate compliance with the ISO/IEC 17025 standard. I am deeply committed to self-improvement, constantly seeking opportunities to learn independently and through collaboration with industry experts.

Throughout my career, I have gained experience with an array of software programs, such as Nikon’s VMA Auto measure and NIS Elements, Starrett’s Metlogix, Mitutoyo’s QVPAK 10, iSolution DT, Pax-it, Clemex, Zeiss Zen, Olympus Stream, Spot, Image Pro, Keyence (including VHX, VR, and VK Series), Leica LAS X, Infinity Analyze, SensoSCAN, sensoVIEW, among others.

Leveraging my comprehensive education and training in ISO/IEC 17025 quality and technical management in combination with my extensive hands-on field experience, I am uniquely positioned to deliver unparalleled quality in the optical metrology field. This integrated foundation further enables me to offer a variety of perspectives when it comes to choosing the most suitable solutions tailored to each client’s unique testing needs.

I am deeply grateful for the blessings that God has given me, which have guided me towards a fulfilling and meaningful career, allowing me to make a positive impact in my professional endeavors.
