Jeffrey Gauntt


Summary : In the study of web development for 2 years coming from a 15 year career of extensive problem solving as an electrical diagnostic automotive technician - (I was the guy you have to pay to actually figure out what is wrong with your car when no one else could). More than half the job is in front of a computer with schematics (wiring diagrams), designs and specifications - taking the data from your vehicle and seeing what is not matching up or not making sense. This has been many years experience keeping up with constantly changing technologies every year (sometimes half year), learning new designs and specifications.

Searching for : Being part of a team, like construction, building and maintaining software projects. Learn more to better myself as a programmer.
