Michael Leonard's Problem Solving Experience:
- Working as a thermographer, it is necessary to be able to interpret surface temperatures of materials to problem solve the root cause of thermal gradients.
- I have built over 50 homes as a custom home builder, which involved solving large problems on a day to day basis, including design issues, material problems, scheduling problems, and coming up with creative solutions to solve unforeseen issues.
- I have conceptualized, modeled in 3D, and prototyped numerous parts for large vehicles while working as a design engineer in the New Product Development Department for a vehicle truck manufacturer.
