Launched CAD/CAM automation application and integrated real-time cloud project management web app and authored cutting-edge manufacturing inspection reduction and cost prediction technologies using Machine Learning statistical modeling. Showcased technologies to C-suite executives at Fortune 500 aerospace manufacturers including Jenette Ramos, Senior Vice President of Manufacturing, Supply Chain, and Operations at The Boeing Company, George King III, Head of Corporate Development for Arconic, Inc., and Bob Reed, Vice President of Technology for Precision Castparts Corporation and Mark Donegan, Chairman and CEO of Precision Castparts Corporation. Developed Siemens NX CAD/CAM automation application and integrated real-time cloud project management web application using Microsoft C#, C++, Node.js, and AngularJS. Assembled and directed global development team using Amazon Web Services, Skype, Slack, Github, Visual Studio, and Visual Studio Team Services (now Azure DevOps). Surveyed engineering and manufacturing marketplace and determined product value proposition; targeted top-tier aerospace manufacturers for CAD/CAM automation services and technologies. Promoted technologies through outbound and inbound marketing strategies. Explored interaction between CAD automation technologies and statistical modeling; discovered highly predictable cost drivers and their statistical relationships to associated geometrical characteristics. Authored ground-breaking manufacturing inspection reduction cost prediction technologies using Machine Learning statistical modeling.

Pioneered highly profitable and disruptive tool and fixture supply chain insourcing venture to drive 57% sales growth to $11 million at 70% margin while cutting cost and lead time by 50%. Expedited Pratt & Whitney PW1000G Geared Turbofan tool and fixture sales from 2 to 3 years to 2 to 3 months by insourcing supply chain and maximizing its capacity. Delivered vital supply chain capacity during market downturn - accelerated shop implementation by purchasing $2 million of CNC machine tools, Siemens NX and Teamcenter software licenses, and supporting equipment and hiring 24 Design Engineers, NC Programmers, and Production machinists in 4 months. Formulated business case and promoted benefits and opportunities of tool and fixture insourcing to plant and corporate executives. Overhauled machining documentation and processes. Developed and implemented Siemens NX and Teamcenter software systems to guide, control, and automate engineering and manufacturing processes.

Engineered investment casting injection tools, holding fixtures, and stereolithography patterns using Siemens NX and managed supply chain to achieve aggressive financial, quality, and delivery metrics. Leveraged statistical modeling and predictive analytics to predict and control tool and fixture cost. Spearheaded Six Sigma project to radically reduce dimensional inspection requirements. Documented engineering requirements for tool, fixture, and stereolithography manufacture using Siemens NX and MS Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Designed complex Siemens NX CAD file assemblies of investment casting wax injection tools and fixtures. Repurposed aerospace OEM CAD files for investment casting processes - added and removed design features, inserted local offsets, and applied global scale factors. Defined CMM, white light, and laser dimensional inspection requirements for tools, fixtures, and stereolithography patterns. Wrote purchase orders and generated supporting documentation establishing conformance to Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) regulations. Performed SOX audits on other Precision Castparts Corporation buyers and completed on-site quality control audits of tool, fixture, and stereolithography suppliers. Established new suppliers to future-proof and optimize supply chain to achieve cost and quality metrics.
