I have known Fernando for over 2 years. He reported to me at Photon Control for over a year. Fernando is an phenomenal engineer. He is also an outstanding team leader and manager. Hardworking, ethical, talented, very professional, easy to work with, great sense of humor. I would hire Fernando in a second. I would love to work with him again.

Fernando was one of the most brilliant engineers that I have worked with. I had the privilege working with him on several strategic sourcing related manufacturing design projects on CNC machining and metal fabrication components. He has the ability to effectively influence the company’s procurement decisions and identifying cost reduction opportunities. His communication skills and extensive experiences definitely are added capabilities that make him the quintessential candidate for any manufacturing engineering related projects. I would recommend Fernando as a valuable team member for any company. -Zachary Wang, CSCP
