• Justified the purchase of a 3D printer before department management resulting in potential $100k/yr cost avoidance
• Implemented changes to line layout and restructured process flow as part of a seven-phase cap down project / net-b reduction on AE3 to help lower our CPU and minimize loss
• Responsible for sustaining and improving automated equipment and process layouts through SEQDCM impact
• Designed production jigs and fixtures through creation of products in CATIA using mass pro part models for validation
• Demonstrated use of critical thinking through daily troubleshooting, root cause analysis, and applied countermeasures
• Led projects involving the use of PLCs, HMIs, 6-axis robots, nut runners, DC tools, and vision systems

• Drew CAD models of frequently defective castings and runner/gate systems using SolidWorks
• Performed bench level tests comparing real-world findings with results shown in SolidCAST simulation software
• Recorded findings from a two-week sample taken of Cu 30900 bronze plaques measuring 18" x 24" looking to identify reoccurring trends in filling and solidification processes
• Analyzed data collected from simulation functions that calculated likelihood of porosity and shrinkage and made modifications to the original CAD model to help minimize defects shown
• Presented findings with proposed revisions before groups including plant managers and supervisors
• Attended a three-day training session in Milwaukee, WI for an effective casting simulation software

Woodstock, GA, US

• Assembled, tested, and analyzed data collected from a self-made apparatus that determined the rate and pattern of a hot melt glue bead
• Developed a higher output alongside a pattern that produced minimal glue tailing or stringing through the use of various nozzles, solenoids, pressures, timing advancements, etc.
• Worked on a two-person assignment where I collaborated and communicated with an industrial designer on project details
• Operated various hand and power tools during production of hot melt system units and internal components
• Visited a client with company management to view the real-world ergonomics behind their production process
• Delivered a thorough 25-minute presentation entailing proposals to modify current products

• Exposed to engineering and manufacturing on a first-hand basis
• Gained an understanding behind each step of operation by the leading producer of zinc die castings in the Midwest
• Learned the importance of strict tolerances, efficiency on the production line, and how to communicate with engineers
