Welcome. My name is Dave and this is about.me.
I am currently a student at Stevens Institute of Technology studying Computer and Electrical Engineering. I am on track to graduate with a B.E. in 2012. I look to achieve Masters status in the near future and I am also looking to acquire MBA in the more distant future.
I am currently working as a Features Testing Engineer at Verizon Wireless. I work with new and pre-existing phones on the Verizon Wireless network. I check each device for network and customer compliance. It's nice because, as a customer, I can try to inject ideas into phones by working with the vendors directly who create these phones.
I have worked at Crédit Agricole S.A. (Calyon) as a Windows Server Administrator. I helped to build and support the data center that served the NYC and the rest of the 20-odd branches in the North America region as well as support to headquarters in France.I have also worked at Staples for 4 years. I worked in the Business Machines section of the department selling devices ranging from calculators to laptops to customers who came into the store. I also helped support the startup EasyTech at my store with repairing computers and providing support to customers who had questions about their technology products.
I am an active participant in the College Republicans club at my college. I believe in the Bill of Rights and that it should not be shit on by the people in Washington. It was drafted by people who had enough of people who didn't know what they were doing. It shouldn't be touched by more people who don't know what they're doing.
I enjoy driving, photography, music, games, old movies and a well-made beer. I am laid back and I expect others to be the same. There's no reason to stress yourself out over anything. You should be concerned or worried, but there's no reason to lose your cool and have a breakdown over something that probably won't matter in a week.
My strengths are organization, punctuality, dedication to others and myself. My weaknesses are disorganization, people who don't cooperate or do not show an ability to try and Goldfish. I love Goldfish.
