Led the industry in sourcing and industrializing body in white crash grade extrusions, drive unit castings, and structural castings for several Tesla launchesCollaborated with a multitude of cross functional teams including design, production, NPI, and QA through my knowledge of metallurgy, GD&T, Casting/Extrusion processes, machining concepts, and statistical control to influence design and manufacturability for improved launch quality, supplier readiness, and continuous improvementLed a multitude of integral supplier DFM’s to gauge supplier technical and functional ability to carry out Tesla design and manufacturing requirements, which were followed by in depth tooling design, and fixture design reviewsHeavily contributed to large scale localization efforts to source and industrialize a North American supply base for many strategic supplied components via the APQP processLeveraged my expertise in quality systems to successfully reform our most problematic suppliers and reduced purchased part quality issues (SCARs) by 60% year over yearSuccessfully authored an internal Tesla standard that aimed to revamp the way Tesla quality personnel characterized, documented, and assessed supplier quality issues, evaluated root cause analysis and drove corrective action to eliminate repeat issuesDeveloped the Tesla Supplier Improvement Plan for Casting and Extrusions commodity to identify the worst performing suppliers and create a pathway to quality excellence via intensive quality assurance visits, quality system gap recognition, PDCA implementation to fix deep rooted systemic complications, and long-term preventative action developmentConducted a multitude of supplier assessments to qualify new and existing suppliers for introduction into Tesla’s supply chainEstablished myself as a people leader within my team by having a large impact on incoming interns by delegating and assigning complex projects to further the team's productivity and growth

• Took part in a chemical resource improvement project where I built trends to track data and exploit key areas where production performance lacked based on trials run to increase digester flow rates• Identified areas where new equipment could be installed to increase production and decrease reliability issues • Updated process flow sheets based on newly installed pipelines and began editing P&ID charts to match actual plant design • Began creating interactive Process design modules for control room operators to use to build trends and track data

• Performed deform and impact testing on our structural adhesive materials• Designed an experiment using scholarly material to create the Epoxy Resin adhesive• Analyzed the strength and durability of the Epoxy Resin materials using Infrared Spectrometry• Used Infrared Spectrometry results to analyze the structural and molecular make up of the material to enhance it for subsequent batches

• Oversaw project involving product sampling of Greek line of Dannon yogurt along with cooling study trials • Collaborated with research and development and quality director where we tackled issues of pH levels, viscosity, shelf life, lactic acid concentration and other various attributes using chemistry lab equipment• Troubleshot yogurt making process using historical data trends and consumer complaints to indicate possible glitches in the process• Applied statistical (six-sigma tools), numerical, and computational methods to consolidate and visualize results and conclusions• Implemented a quality assurance record data tracking system with excel that operators can use instead of recording data by hand• Implemented this system to capture, trend and report process improvement needs from a quality perspective

Collaborated with Grupo Fenix to learn about, help promote, help build, and install solar pv panels on various roofs of a small communityToured Chemical Engineering Plants at The National Engineering University of NicaraguaBuilt solar ovens for the women of the community to use in their kitchens.

Worked on designing and building a wheelchair gear system to assist disabled farmers increase their efficiency, maintain their independence and a high quality of life. I worked on the idea generation aspect, gathering stimulus by doing research, integrating calculus, physics, biology, decision analysis and other technical aspects into the proposed designs, and the actual building of the design

Collaborated with faculty to clean school facilities. Prepared classrooms upcoming school years and cleaned offices and lounges
