About Me
My name is Dustin Sokolik and I am a Web Software Developer major at BlackHawk Technical College in my final year. I currently have a 3.43 GPA and am expected to graduate in May of 2024
My background includes a variety of career paths that I have explored. After high school I worked in a variety of manufacturing roles as an assembler, warehouse, and as a forklift driver.
Soon after my manufacturing experience I took on an apprenticeship as a mechanic. My experience as a mechanic lasted six years where I was able to rise to the title of head mechanic where I did automobile and truck repairs and diagnostics I also handled all managerial duties including creating invoices, managing finances, working with customers and working with customer's insurance companies.
During the Covid-19 lockdown I worked to recieve my CNA license where I worked as a CNA in long-term and memory care facilities. My tenure as a CNA lasted me until I started at BlackHawk Technical College, where I then found a job with W.W. Grainger as a customer service representative in May of 2022.
At Grainger I have acheived a position of Senior Customer Experience Representative. On my path to this position I had to take on many new roles and now I wear many hats. I took on many training roles and mentorship roles for new hires.
I believe my history of excelling in multiple roles throughout my career path demonstrates that I am a fast learner and that I can take on anything that comes my way.

My Skills
During my time at Blackhawk, I have learned an aptitude of new skills that would make me a valuable assest to a team. Along with the coding languages that I have learned in my time here, I have also learned project managment and version control. With my current employer and previous, I have always been someone who loves to be able to lead teams in discussion and problem solving and never stop learning new information. I firmly believe that feedback and continous improvment is a skill that is necessary in any career.
