Soldering
Trained and certified in the standards, processes, and techniques related to the field of lead and lead-free soldering. Experienced in topics such as safety, Electrostatic Discharge (ESD), Printed Circuit Board (PCB) components and assembly, electronic components and identification, lead and lead-free soldering and desoldering techniques in Plated Through Hole (PTH), Surface Mount Device/ Technology (SMD/SMT), and fine to ultra-fine-pitch soldering.

Example of soldering work on PCB
A demonstration of different soldering types on different components. Plated Through Hole (PTH) for resistors and capacitor, and Surface Mount Technology (SMT) for microcontrollers and SMD resistors.

SMT Component - SMD Resistor
A visual comparison to demonstrate the size of components used for Surface Mount soldering. They are very hard to work with and can move around a lot in the soldering process, so I had to work hard to create proper soldering joints on such small contact pads.
