Summary
Chris Garcia is a Quality Control Specialist with 11 years of hands-on experience building and testing control electronics and industrial software for oil and gas drilling systems. Based in Houston, he has deep practical expertise configuring lab networks, PLCs, NI cRIOs, ESXi virtualization, and automated test suites, and he writes scripts (VBScript, batch, shell) to streamline complex test and reporting workflows. His background blends naval nuclear reactor operations and field electronics work, giving him uncommon rigor in systems reliability and instrumentation. At Nabors Industries he progressed from frontline support and training to supervising technical writers and owning test lab architecture for RigCLOUD products. He enjoys reverse-engineering and tinkering with anything that has batteries or a cord, and often pursues solutions that reduce manual effort through simple automation. Known for converting large manuals into modular documentation and building installers to workaround tooling defects, he pairs practical engineering with pragmatic problem solving.
