    Most people still refer to my job title as an auto mechanic. A lot has changed over the years since I first started out pumping gas at my dad's Shell Service Station in the late 70's and learning the trade hands on. In the last 20-30 years a lot, a real lot has changed. With today's technology, computers, electronics, ect in today's vehicle's I consider my an Auto Technician. Well over 30 years now, certified, both G.M. and Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram in all categories. At this point in my career that is what I deal with daily. People don't realize the complexity of vehicle's and what is involved with the numerous modules or computers have in communicating via bus networks and such. Dealing with a simple bulb inop sends a lot of auto mechanics or technicians running. I'm sure some of you may think other wize but then there are us, experienced trained techs that know first hand. Auto Technician it is.

    I fix airplanes. Boeing 737 series.
    Pretty much whatever breaks. I fix.
    Going from changing tires or brakes to troubleshooting a system going haywire because loose wire or failing component. Than I'm changing out lavatory items such as the poop box. Anything and everything gets eyes on for inspections or fixing.

    For me, it's data analysis, but I want to improve my coding skills, so I am working on something small just to train. Technology here is very complex yet interesting, and I', happy to work and develop myself in that sphere. We have changed very often, and I think that technology is a very important thing in our world now, so I try to keep myself updated and do my best to progress. I read a lot, and here is one blog article about AI-based Learning Management Systems which was so interesting and useful to me. I found a lot of new info there, and knowing it is important because AI is developing, and so is the learning sphere. And if we combine those two things, as a result, we can get something powerful.
