As an Additive Manufacturing Engineer, I slice (set print parameters for) 3d prints, troubleshoot prints with root-cause analysis, make minor repairs to 3d printers, train operators to use, maintain, and qualify 3d printers, and lead Six Sigma continuous improvement projects. In one such project, I reduced mean build turn-around time from 13.08 days to.

My primary role is to figure out how to print parts with industrial FDM additive manufacturing- including high temperature materials. I slice print files, make work orders, record workflow, troubleshoot, and make design recommendations for additive manufacturing.

When I was a teaching assistant for CAD and Compliant Mechanisms, I graded assignments, answered student questions, and held office hours. When I was a teaching assistant for Capstone Design, I tuned and repaired the Lulzbot Workhorse Taz 3D printers, and created the student's workflow for the 3D printers. I reduced student's print failure rate by 83% by.

For my dissertation, I characterized an adjustable load constant force compression mechanism. I designed novel compliant mechanism physics models using Pseudo-Rigid Body Model, designed and fabricated experiment equipment using laser cutting, FDM (Flashforge Finder, FlashPrint), and SLA (Form 2, PreForm) additive manufacturing, designed, ran, and analyzed.

The Tech Toybox is a non-profit that makes prototypes for companies, teaches the community fabrication job skills and acts as a community makerspace. At the Tech Toybox, I fabricated and designed prototypes for clients using CNC routing (using Autodesk Fusion 360 CAM), FDM 3D printing (Makerbot Replicator 2X, Makerware), and MIG (Metal Inert Gas) welding..

At Empowered Prosthetics, I lead the Forearm Design Team, organized the team with a Kanban workflow using Trello, and designed and fabricated (FDM Additive Manufacturing) prosthetic parts with SolidWorks.

Tampa/St. Petersburg, Florida Area

GTI Systems is a manufacturing company. I applied Statistical Process Control (SPC) to control workpiece quality,calibrated gages and performed Repeatability and Reproducibility studies, made dimensioned and toleranced technical drawings with AutoCAD in the ASME y14.5 (2009)standard.
