During my childhood, I was always finding things to pull apart to figure out how they worked. As I grew older, I discovered that I loved technology, especially computers. Shortly before I reached 5th grade, I started exploring the world of music. I started with piano lessons and then trumpet, I continued playing piano for 6 years and played in the school and county bands until shortly after my high school graduation. I very much still love music and still I enjoy it as a hobby whenever time permits., music will always be part of my life.<\/p><p>After my graduation, I decided to join the United States Air Force. My first job choice was security forces and, thankfully, instead, I was assigned the job of Geospatial Intelligence Analyst.<\/p><p>My current Hobbies include computers\/technology, PC gaming, music, performance cars\/driving, and trying new food.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-tab-title elementor-tab-mobile-title\" aria-selected=\"false\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-2292\" aria-expanded=\"false\">Work Experience<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-2292\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-2292\" tabindex=\"0\" hidden=\"hidden\"><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/andrewgartner.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/942436_10151731111039250_1756396662_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"184\" height=\"277\" class=\"wp-image-190 alignleft\" srcset=\"https:\/\/andrewgartner.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/942436_10151731111039250_1756396662_n.jpg 640w, https:\/\/andrewgartner.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/942436_10151731111039250_1756396662_n-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 184px) 100vw, 184px\" \/><\/p><p>I started my career as a geospatial analyst in the U.S. Airforce. During this time, I was certified in the AF-DGS weapon system. I exploited SAR, MSI, EO\/IR, MASINT, and National\/Commercial imagery to produce imagery intelligence products. These products supported operations in the middle east, Africa, and Europe. Products included Indications and Warnings, Counter IED, and counter insurgent products. I voluntarily separated a few months early to pursue further opportunities as a civilian\/government contractor. After about 5 years with the Air Force, I started work with BAE Systems. With BAE Systems, I worked with the 116th MIB conducting Full-Motion Video (FMV) analysis with manned and unmanned aerial vehicles. This analysis supported Counter insurgents, Troops in Contact, Personnel Recovery, and Counter IED operations. After a year of work with BAE Systems, I received an offer for a wonderful opportunity at Al Udeid Air Base, Qatar. In Qatar I was a contractor for FGS LLC, supporting the U.S. Central Command Partner Integration Enterprise (CPIE). During this time, I was working 6 days a week with 12-hour shifts. The work included FMV exploitation as well as providing on-the-job training for NATO coalition members. This gave me a great opportunity to learn about other cultures and I meet some great people from the U.S. and NATO nations. The work also supported counter-insurgent and counter-IED operations. Unfortunately, my time was limited to a little longer than 2 years due to budget\/personnel cuts and I returned to the states where I hold my current position with Scale AI. At Scale AI I support AI data labeling.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-tab-title elementor-tab-mobile-title\" aria-selected=\"false\" data-tab=\"3\" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-2293\" aria-expanded=\"false\">Goals and aspirations<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-2293\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"3\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-2293\" tabindex=\"0\" hidden=\"hidden\"><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/andrewgartner.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/pexels-markus-winkler-4160088-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"201\" height=\"301\" class=\"wp-image-202 alignleft\" srcset=\"https:\/\/andrewgartner.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/pexels-markus-winkler-4160088-scaled.jpg 1707w, https:\/\/andrewgartner.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/pexels-markus-winkler-4160088-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/andrewgartner.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/pexels-markus-winkler-4160088-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/andrewgartner.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/pexels-markus-winkler-4160088-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/andrewgartner.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/pexels-markus-winkler-4160088-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/andrewgartner.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/pexels-markus-winkler-4160088-1365x2048.jpg 1365w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 201px) 100vw, 201px\" \/>After almost 10 years of geospatial analysis, I have started to realize that although I am good at imagery analysis, it is not what I want to be doing for my whole career. I have found that my enjoyment with computers and messing with my home network could be used as something productive. To this end, I have started my path toward Computer Networking. I started by acquiring my CompTIA Security+ AE certification. I am continuing to progress to change career fields by studying for the CompTIA Network+ and am looking to pursue a degree in Network Engineering and Security from WGU. My goal is to get this degree, which comes with multiple essential certifications, and to transition into a government IT contract. From there I would push myself to learn as much as I can, gain experience, further my certifications, and potentially get a degree in Cyber security and\/or AWS. Eventually, I would like to join a civilian organization as an advisor\/administrator near Huntsville, AL, or Chattanooga, TN. My goal for this is to be accomplished by the time I am 35-40 years old. I know this is an ambitious goal, however, I believe with the right motivation, good employers, and home lab tinkering, that it would be possible. I am very motivated in pursuing this path and am excited to pursue it.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About Me Private life and hobbies Work Experience Goals and aspirations Private life and hobbies I was born in central Ohio in 1993.
