My career has evolved around improvement and/or development of processes, systems, components, and departments. As a Manufacturing Engineer, I have worked closely with various department personnel to improve quality of plastic components, job functionality/training, performances of molds/dies, create/maintain drawings using AutoCAD, SolidWorks, and MasterCAM. As a Teacher, I have taught Microsoft operating systems and computer networking. In both cases, I have designed, developed and implemented new programs/systems to improve functionality and capabilities. With my current employer I began as an Extrusion Process Technician on the production floor. This enabled me to gain the necessary knowledge and capability of the manufacturing processes and company methods/systems. A promotion led to the development of a new department: Prototype/Hand Cuts. This involves scheduling the fabrication of a prototype component. A part may get fabricated on the CNC-Router which requires a 3D drawing made in MasterCAM and G-Codes generated. After a short time, another promotion to Manufacturing Engineer. This position opened all aspects to manufacturing for my involvement. I look for any areas for improvements, reductions, capabilities, and reliabilities with the goal of company, personal, and professional growth.
