● Designed and prototyped seven new soft seating units and one table unit as part of the Rise Extension series.○ Designed and reviewed units in CAD and with fellow engineers and higher management○ Leveraged current company production methods for Rise 2.0 to lower manufacturing and labor costs○ Led meetings with engineers model makers to implement Design for Manufacturing (DFM) for each unit○ Collaborated with designers, model makers, and suppliers across the company to build prototypes of all units● Reduced cost of manufacturing a new two seat lounge by optimizing the usage of space required to CNC the parts.● Validated the design of the two seat lounge by subjecting a prototype of the lounge to standard load test for strength.● Presented a report on the cost and functionality of a new bracket and new adjustable sliding glides for Rise Extension units.● Created a Bill of Materials (BOM) using CAD software for all parts of the units of the Rise Extension soft seating line.

- Modeled principal equipment, components and piping of a wastewater treatment plant using Solidworks and AutoCad. Model was used by engineers and environmental specialists to track areas of the plant that were suspect to asbestos contamination. - Designed and assembled a 3ft x 2.5ft x1ft scale model of the treatment plant using 3-D printing and laser cutting to support the identification of asbestos concentrated zones of the treatment building. - Documented all chemical sampling tests performed throughout the plant by annotating sections of the final CAD rendering of the building, showing the location, status, and nature of the samples taken. - Maintained inventory of all equipment components throughout all plant levels by annotating their status, position, size, and contamination level on the 3D model.

- Assisted freshman through senior year students in the above classes. - Tutored an average of 20 students per week, of which 84% of the total students reported an increase in their semester grades for the above classes and 95% of students gave my tutoring sessions a positive review and recommended my sessions to others.

- Supervised groups of 30 clients with physical disabilities in assembly line packaging of John Deere Rubber Seals and Bearings. Made effective use of human resources and rearranged the sequence of assembly, to increased average weekly rate of production of John Deere seals and bearings. - Successfully created and maintained company's database of product labels and formats, improving the company's organization format and decreasing delay time in label production.
