Summary
I’m 32 years old with 13 years experience in metal fabrication and welding, building pharmaceutical pressure vessels, dairy silos, handrails, platforms, piping and basic fabrications. I can do all types of welding, mig, tig, mma and oxy fuel welding/brazing. I have many different x-ray welding codes for various grades of stainless steel and I am also very confident in welding carbon steel and aluminium.
