Beau Koltz
I’m Beau Koltz, currently pursuing a bachelor’s degree in computer science at the University of Wisconsin–Green Bay, where I’m focused on strengthening my skills in software development, data analytics, and modern computing systems. Over the past few years, I’ve applied my coursework directly to real‑world projects, building modular backend systems, automated workflows, and cross‑platform development environments that support both personal and client needs. I also operate Ledge Top Technologies, where I manage photogrammetry, HDR imaging, and mapping projects that deepen my understanding of data accuracy, modeling, and computational problem‑solving. I’m eager to continue exploring emerging technologies and connecting academic concepts with hands‑on engineering work as I grow within the field and contribute to the innovations shaping today’s digital landscape.
Experience
I.T. Intern
As an I.T. intern at Green Bay Packaging, I provide technical support to ensure smooth operations within the paper mill. My responsibilities include troubleshooting hardware and software issues independently and with coworkers, clean network cabnets, and setup and decommission laptops and tablets. I actively participate in projects that drive technological advancements, showcasing my ability to support and improve the company's I.T. operations.
Robotics Coach
I'm a coding coach for the VEX Robotics Club at Wrightstown High School, guiding students in C++ programming using Visual Studio Code. Together, we create custom robots and code them to perform various functions and tasks.
Electromechanical Assembler
As an Electromechanical Assembler, I was responsible for assembling and testing electromechanical components and systems. I worked with a team of engineers and technicians to ensure all products were assembled to the highest quality standards. My hands-on experience with a diverse range of hand tools and power tools not only showcased my technical proficiency but also underscored my commitment to precision and excellence in every project. Through my dedication and readiness to learn, I consistently contributed to the seamless integration of mechanical and electrical components, leaving an indelible mark on the success of each assembly project.
Forklift Technician
As a Forklift Technician, I specialized in servicing forklifts, replacing electric drive motors, hydraulics, and various components. My role involved ensuring the seamless functionality of equipment, contributing to the safe and efficient operations of the machinery.
