    I mostly do Process Engineering these days, with some program management for those that need it. Depends on what's needed.

    Kinda took a weird path, Economics undergrad, started as a foreman at an OEM, got into engineering, tool and process, automation, launches and currently working on my MEng

    *Update*: I dropped the truck off today for repair. They could have gotten to it earlier but I demanded a loaner vehicle and they were hard to come by so I had to wait for about a week. I'll let everyone know how it goes...

    They finished the repair today and they ended up replacing the upper plenum assembly and the bolt which was cross threaded. With labor the charge would have been $852.82. I'm happy with the outcome, but this totally should not have happened in the first place.
