Managed daily operations for digital and proportional valve value stream. Planned value stream resources to meet demand requirements. Created strategic capacity plans for manufacturing to meet division growth targets. Led weekly P&L flash and tracked operations financial performance. Led operations, supply chain, and engineering cross-functional teams to remove barriers via structured problem solving. Re-instated and coached production High Performance Teams to improve employee engagement.

Responsible for Proportional Valves, Liquid Solenoid Valves, & EPC product lines. Process Engineering liason between PPF and largest customer for their custom valves. Facilitated transfer, qualification, and improved yield of 10M liquid valve value stream to NHO after plant closure, working closely with operations team and customers to improve product quality and improve OTD by 50%. Reduced quality returns of a product family by 95% through effective collaboration with top customer. Maintained a 98% OTD in value stream by quickly & effectively reacting to manufacturing challenges. Worked with NPD team to successfully release LowPro and LowPro GC to manufacturing.

Senior Supervisor at a high volume investment casting plant in charge of the wax and shell departments. Maintained majority of process engineering responsibilities while supervising up to 30 employees across three shifts. Led and worked on cross-functional teams to improve product flow, reduce cost, and improve quality through 5s and Kaizen activities. Effectively balanced the needs of both engineering and manufacturing to exceed department performance metrics.

Process Engineer at a high volume investment casting plant in the wax and shell operations. Managed process effectively through data collection and analysis, SPC, and analyzing key process variables. Established testing procedures and performed gauge R&R events between operators. Performed critical scrap review and root cause analysis to determine sources of casting defects.

Associate Engineer in Hitchiner's Engineering Development Program, which included a mix of courses related to investment casting processes and manufacturing and lean principles as well as process and design work for R&D projects. Provided a solid foundation for future problem solving in the investment casting industry. Led and supported numerous projects to support production and designed next generation technology and processes. Patented co-inventor of a modular investment shell process.

Senior Design Project: SAE Aero East Competition: designed an R/C fixed wing plane from first principles complying with competition requirements. Department Tutor: tutored a variety of underclassmen in Physics, Statics, and Thermodynamics

Designed an improved material flow to reduce waste and lead time. Generated visual and interactive work instructions to assist production team. Provided manufacturing engineering support as needed.

Executive Officer for 90 man chapter. Led house improvement projects, coordinated inter-fraternal activities, and active with University leadership.
