• Designed, built, and tested fixtures, simple machines, and enclosures for the safe and efficient fabrication and processing of sapphire parts. • Procured, tested, and evaluated various tools for efficiency at shaping sapphire using such metrics as machine tool load, material removal rate, and tool life. • Developed productivity tools such as Matlab scripts to optimize stock for maximum part yield and create machine programs based on this optimization.• Supported fabrication by troubleshooting machine issues and developing machine programs and procedures to increase capabilities.

• Assembled, repaired, and fixed bicycles to serve an eclectic customer base. • Maintained 100% positive customer reviews while managing the shop’s eBay selling account.

• Designed and modeled bicycle frame and component surfaces with Solidworks while assisting in the development of new products. • Constructed testing fixtures for preforming bottom bracket stiffness, head tube stiffness, and rear triangle stiffness tests on carbon bicycle frames.• Developed testing procedures and work instruction for preforming tests on bicycle frames.

• Exhibited productivity in the Aero Engines business unit by creating models and drawings for Electrochemical Machining tooling components, assisting tooling production to stay on schedule. • Produced tooling parts using Mastercam software and a CNC mill: became comfortable programming a variety of parts. • Showed motivation to learn by manufacturing a more complex set of parts using 3+2 axis programming. • Demonstrated versatility by assembling tooling and heavily revising work instructions for the assembly of this tooling. • Was effective at completing and balancing multiply tasks at the same time.
