Problem Solver

Andrew Skinner

My broad-based education and interests will give me a significant advantage in being able to draw from experiences and knowledge across many fields of problem-solving.

Areas Andrew Skinner is Knowledgeable in:

Agriculture, science, engineering.

Techniques Andrew Skinner Uses:

1. Define problem overtly by breaking down, with diagrams, as if explaining to person unfamiliar with subject.

2. Find solutions to each part of problem, preferably by comparison to similar problems in science/industry. E.g. solved spinal problem above by analogy with film/animation industry.

3. Combine solutions into practical package.

4. Monitor and improve as needed.
