I work to enhance manufacturing quality, efficiency, and safety throughout the manufacturing process. To achieve these objectives, I collaborate closely with operators, leveraging their expertise to identify and isolate potential issues. This hands-on approach allows me to develop effective solutions independently or serve as a vital link between the manufacturing team and engineering. By facilitating seamless communication between these two groups, I ensure that crucial information is effectively relayed, fostering a collaborative environment for problem-solving and improvement. Together with the operators, I strive to optimize manufacturing operations, driving quality, efficiency, and safety to new heights.- Project Examples: Development of a Comprehensive Software Application: I coded a software application to seamlessly integrates databases from quality control, engineering, and manufacturing departments. Complex iterative calculations are performed to optimize tooling for EACH product moving through manufacturing. This has not only saved resources but has also streamlined the work process for operators, resulting in improved overall quality and operator morale. Retrofitting Older Equipment with Modern PLCs: I devised effective solutions to retrofit modern Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) into older manufacturing equipment. I handle, design, programming, wiring, and testing. This retrofitting process has proven instrumental in improving product quality, as well as capturing essential data throughout the manufacturing process by bridging the gap between the legacy equipment and modern manufacturing standards.

Managing Proprietary R&D Test Machines: I oversee the operation and workflow of three specialized R&D test machines. This involves ensuring their efficient and effective functioning, optimizing their usage, and coordinating the scheduling of tests and experiments.Data Analysis and Reporting: I am actively involved in the analysis and reporting of all data acquired from the test machines. By utilizing advanced analytical tools and techniques, I extract meaningful insights from the data, providing valuable information for decision-making and further research and development.Maintenance, PLC Programming, and Upgrades: I take charge of all maintenance activities, ensuring that the R&D test machines are in optimal working condition. This includes conducting regular inspections, performing necessary repairs, and troubleshooting any mechanical issues. Additionally, I handle PLC programming changes, implementing adjustments or improvements to enhance machine performance. Moreover, I coordinate mechanical upgrades and modifications to align with evolving research requirements.Through these responsibilities, I contribute to the smooth operation of the R&D lab, enabling efficient experimentation, accurate data analysis, and the timely identification of insights and opportunities. By effectively managing the test machines, analyzing data, and handling maintenance and upgrades, I support the lab's pursuit of innovation and scientific advancement.

Design engineering intern. I worked with civil and mechanical engineers to design structural weldments and mechanical devices as needed. I helped perform start to finish operations on several parts, which included design, calculations, FEA, CAD, production drawings, and ease of manufacturing/fabrication.

I worked under a structural and petroleum engineer doing primarily field engineering work. I got to experience visiting over 15 active rigs and actually work one full (seven day) hitch as a roughneck.Redeveloped and modeled from scratch a 32 piece wind wall deflection system for PACE rigs. This was performed without a baseline 3D model of the rig floor, so I had to reconstruct the subframe in solidworks from 2D drawings(which I had to verify by hand in the field).
