Carlos Martinez, Seeking to further my career in tech

About

I've worked in retail, inventory management, a contractor for painting/flooring, deliveries, and computer-related programs such as QuickBooks for money management. I'm very adaptive and can work long hours while maintaining the same level of focus and professionalism throughout. I'm quick to learn new experiences that I've never done before and can work alone or as a team member. I'm open to critique and am flexible in my approach to work challenges. I'd love to participate in any type of labor be it physical or mental. This past year or so, as I've found myself on my own and no car, I would commute daily by bike (several miles a day) to both my jobs amidst the seasonal changes and still having ample energy to focus on fitness, learning, and finishing my jobs as they come. I'm the type to ask questions if something isn't clear at first, and you'd find that it eventually levels out as I learn enough to apply myself as soon as possible. I ask questions in general when I see something isn't clear, there's miscommunication evident, or for the sake of efficiency, discussion & clarity.
