Hello! My name is Tony Marino.
I am a Mechanical/Process Engineer and repair technician living in Providence, Rhode Island and I enjoy learning about new and old technology.
I currently work at OTEC USA Inc. in North Kingstown RI, as the Lead Process Engineer/Lead Service and Support Engineer where I facilitate any and all service requests pertaining to the wide variety of OTEC machines in the states, as well as develop the processes for the evergrowing variety of new sample parts for soon to be customers of OTEC. I also do whatever is required of me which could include anything from general IT support to my coworkers (due to my previous work experience, I am the go to guy for this) to replacing the lightbulbs in the celling, taking out the trash, or cleaning the bathroom when it needs to be done. I have worked here since Dec 2022 starting as an Technical Service and Support Engineer Team Member and have worked my way up through hard work, determination, and a positive view of my daily operations.
Previously, I have worked as a Technology Specialist, Computer Technician, IT Department Intern, and an Electrical Engineering Intern. I have also worked in the service industry from bartending at fine dining events all the way to a cashiering at a pizza joint. I've additionally worked at a Hardware store and a golf course as a caddie. I would say that I try to take something away from each job experience and have carried those experiences with me to whatever it is that I do next, and this has provided to be a very successful method for me.
I actively purse expanding my knowledge of all things technical and try to document said pursuits in my projects log.
I also have produced a few videos on my YouTube page related to said projects (but mostly drone flight edits).
Aside from all of that, I'm an avid billiards player and bowler, a fan of science fiction books, an FPV drone pilot/repairman, a retro video game collector/player, and a movie buff.
