Robert Laracuente’s Summary

I am a B.S. in Electronics and Telecommunications with over eight years in the industry. I have a wide range of experience, from maintenance all the way to planning in both wire line and wireless networks, mainly focused in emerging packet network systems on both sides.
Being very organized and with the proper skills and knowledge, I am able to handle many different types of projects.
As I possess very good relational skills, I blend easily into groups, and can perform as team leader, or simply as a contributor.
I am open minded, and not afraid of trying new things in order to improve a given process. And I am able to assimilate what’s needed with little learning curve.
