I have six years of engineering experience at the operational level onboard international tanker vessels. I have worked in multinational crews across international waters during this time. I oversaw the maintenance and operation of systems for oil purification, compressed air, sewage, water production, pumping arrangements, lifesaving, and emergency appliances. These duties include administrative work such as keeping logs, updating inventories, generating reports, and documentation. I have generated computerized tables to streamline operations. I have assisted and lead critical operations with little to no deficiencies and near misses. I have experience in reestablishing decommissioned systems. I have been part of both takeout and scrapping teams. The scrapping team ensures that the vessel reaches the scrapyard safely with the barest minimum spares. The takeout team prepares the newly built vessel to go on its maiden voyage. As part of the takeout team, I assisted streamlining routines and documentation for ease of operations. I have ample experience in working under duress in physically and mentally taxing and possibly hazardous environments. I am used to accomplishing the tasks well within the deadline in said environment. I was also trained extensively in the execution of rescue and disaster mitigation. I also participated in international conferences for operational safety. Aside from the shipboard experience, I have two years of faculty experience in the academe. I work one year as an instructor for engineering courses and another year at the supervisory level as a course developer. I have completed certifications for Maritime Instructors, Assessors, and Simulator Trainers. As a course developer, I constructed and revised engineering courses as stipulated by national and international regulations. My work as an instructor helped me hone my presentation and organizational skills in delivering lessons. It also helped me be more adept with basic Microsoft Office Applications. I have completed sixty percent of the course manuals needed by the school during my employment. I was also assigned to manage the 3D Printing Office to produce teaching materials and improve operations. I handled various sporting and fitness clubs in the school, these included employees and students alike. I organized fitness and self-defense lessons for the members from Mondays to Thursdays. I have also been elected as a Dormitory Commander during my second year of teaching since we are housed within the school grounds. I managed the alumni dormitory by enforcing rules, providing cleaning routines, improving amenities, and organizing monthly parties. In addition to being an engineer and educator, I also train in martial arts regularly. I have two years of Muay Thai and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu experience. After five years of intensive training and studying, I was promoted to assistant instructor in Pekiti Tirsia Kali. Pekiti Tirsia Kali is a Filipino Martial Art that specializes in close-quarters combat using edged and impact weapons. Since I have amateur photography skills, I am also tasked with the documentation of sparring practices and actual matches. I assist the members to improve their strategy through video analysis and actual training. I also store and distribute assign footage for the members’ benefit. I also have extensive practical knowledge of self-defense equipment. I can provide comprehensive feedback regarding the selection and purchase of self-defense tools. I have basic practical knowledge of disaster preparedness and mitigation. These are all rounded out by the martial arts and operational safety training I have done throughout the years. I have done volunteer work at Laguna Pitbull Sanctuary since 2015. LPB is a nonprofit organization that rescues and cares for abandoned and abused dogs. I started out walking and bathing dogs as a Junior Volunteer. As I continued volunteering, I learned dog behavior and handling. After a few years, I became a Senior Volunteer and I was proficient enough to safely handle more skittish or unpredictable dogs. I handled dogs during shelter events and obstacle courses as well. Senior Volunteers guide Junior Volunteers in the rehabilitation of abused dogs. Through volunteering, I learned canine body language and its interpretation. I practiced basic obedience training with dogs from our household. We managed to provide a safe and habitable environment for all our pets. Our pets range from small to large canines, felines, and birds. I am a novice reptile handler too. I did a safe catch-and-release of stray reptiles in our living quarters. Had there been no pandemic, I would have pursued a side career as an animal trainer and handler professionally.
