Oversaw multiple new products from concept to pre-production by leveraging design, CAD, and GD&T skills while working closely with the manufacturing team in Taiwan. Measured performance of product designs using FEA software, designing custom fixtures, and analyzing ride test data to benchmark against ISO regulations and competitor products. Characterized chainring retention issues by utilizing FEA software tools to generate multiple spider designs with varying stiffness to weight ratios to test failure modes and deflection. Designed a new 29% lighter direct-mount chainring shape found in 4 Praxis products.

Supported vehicle design, testing and analysis for all prototype and engineering validation products.Managed build operations of 50 technicians to assemble 250 bikes in 4 days, along with early field failure analysis to hit target milestones before mass production deadlines.Assessed initial design improvements, implemented rigorous testing procedures, validated maintenance protocols.

Leading a team of technicians working to ensure the highest level of user safety, satisfaction and suitability.Collaborating with the design team and head mechanics to diagnose and address recurring fleetwide issuesTraining new maintenance techs on all aspects of the corrective and preventative maintenance processDrafting and editing Standard Operating ProceduresAccounting and ordering all spare parts and tools Upgrading controller, lock and battery firmware

Analyzing and resolving maintenance issues with the fleet on a daily basisFinding solutions to prevent reoccurring maintenance tickets Cataloging maintenance actions for future referenceInstalling hardware and firmware updates

At Moss Landing I started as an Apprentice Power Plant Technician, but within one year I was leading the development of new strategies to ensure the highest level of safety, compliance and efficiency.With regulatory compliance being one of the most important aspects of any industrial facility, I continually developed new documentation to make it easier for all operators to ensure compliance with NERC, EPA, CAISO and MBARD regulations.The main controllable influence on profit margin at a power generation facility is it's mechanical efficiency. Through the use of PI, DCS and PMAX software tools I was able to increase efficiency without compromising reliability through analysis of historical trends and live data.Starting April 2015, I was promoted to the Upgrade Shift Supervisor position along with the Clearance Coordinator position.I was selected to the position as Shift Supervisor, managing a crew of 6-10 highly skilled Operations Plant Technicians, on an as needed basis. As a manager I improved the processes in place by creating regulatory guide books, compliance calculators and payroll spreadsheets while at the same time balancing my work between Shift Supervisor, Clearance Coordinator, Operations Technician and Union Shop Steward positions.

Under the tutelage of P.E. certified Mechanical Engineers, I was able to not only learn but also assist with the design of pumps and seals to be used in nuclear power generation. This was completed through the use of AutoCAD for drawings and Ansys FEA for mechanical analysis along with ASME and CFR codes for design reference.

I started at Large's sorting metal and sweeping floors during summer break, but I was able to demonstrate my skills with Solidworks CAD and show the benefit to having some of Large's projects in digital form. My CAD drawings with bill of materials were their first form of technical documentation and allowed ease of replicability and accounting.
