During my tenure at Allegion I've worked on a wide variety of projects to improve quality, cost, platforming, and overall design documentation. The projects listed below highlight some of the larger projects I have executed. -VAVE - Executed projects with accumulative savings greater than $2 million.--Part conversion from a zinc die cast part to a steel deep drawn stamping--Part conversion from a zinc die cast part to a plated injection molded plastic part.--Platformed pneumatic assembly to replace multiple unique low volume components with higher volume components and off the shelf pneumatic components.--Platformed electro-mechanical alarm assembly to replace multiple unique low volume circuit boards, with a single shared circuit board and shared mechanical components.-Quality--Redesigned electromechanical switch actuation to improve switch sensitivity. -Design Documentation--Created BOM's, drawings, part numbers, and configuration rules for the Zero International business unit, so it could be converted from a high volume job shop manufacturing model to a mass manufacturing model.-Sustaining--Managed the engineering side of dual sourcing ~50 investment cast parts.The manufacturing processes I've worked with while at Allegion are listed below.-Investment Castings-Zinc Die Castings-Aluminum Die Castings-Brass Die Castings-Brass Forgings-Roll Formed Parts-Progressive Stampings-Brake Press Formed Parts-Deep Drawn Stampings-Aluminum Extrusions-Rubber Extrusions-Brass Extrusions-Cold Headed Parts-Injection Molded Plastic Parts-Machined Parts-Powdered Metal Parts

As an engineer at GM I worked on a broad range of tasks. These tasks include, but are not limited to, directing design changes through the engineering change process, writing programs in excel to assist in data analysis, using UG to perform simulations, directing various development testing, and supporting the transmission design team as needed.

As a member of the line engineering team at Beckman Coulter Inc. I had a variety of duties. These duties could be anything from running load and diameter tests on injected molded parts to supporting manufacturing through part redesigns. I also assisted in maintaining the verification and validation equipment for the clinical automation line.

At Symbios I had a large array of tasks. I typically spent some time each day working on different research projects varying from fluid flow rate studies to designing new manufacturing equipment. I also assisted in report writing, equipment validations, purchase orders, and any other tasks that were needed to keep everything running smoothly.

While working as a technical support engineer I assisted in the design and development of components for an IRL race car resulting in consecutive "Indy 500" 2nd place finishes and a record (8) consecutive top ten finishes in 2009.
