Consulted with a startup provider of well planning, directional drilling and MWD/LWD technologies for E&P companies. Established well planning department. Developed customized well planning solutions to assist clients in achieving pay zone objectives in congested lateral fields. Created avoidance strategies for multi-well drilling pads to maintain customer's separation factor requirements.

Managed directional well design and drilling projections, sidetrack planning, survey data and reporting, torque and drag and anti-collision analyses. Trained well planners on Landmark COMPASS software. ➡ Collaborated with customers to develop multiple well plan designs on congested lateral fields to ensure safe passage of proposed well trajectories.➡ Created daily planned versus actual drawings to monitor active jobs for anti-collision issues that resulted in zero field collisions with increased customer confidence.

➡ Applied improved well planning tools using landing planes that enabled higher accuracy and collision avoidance in congested lateral fields and reduced well planning time.➡ Researched and developed unique solutions to unconventional well planning requirements. Utilized Excel to extract data from anti-collision reports to automate the creation of drilling tolerance data tables.➡ Designed new procedures to layout targets utilizing AutoCAD polylines for import into COMPASS target editor that resulted in faster delivery time to customers and higher quality of well planning designs.➡ Created well planning checklists and tracked customer requests to deliver consistent, accurate and professional well designs with zero collisions in the field.

Arlington, Tx

➡ Pioneered new CNC milling processes for parts requiring 3D geometry definition and surface machining, setting their precedent for 3D surface milling. ➡ Instituted Automated Probing to simplify setup processes and reduce human error.➡ Created tooling and fixturing log, developed CNC setup procedures and utilized Solid Edge to layout and design milling fixtures and model finished parts.

Little Rock, Arkansas, United States

Programmed CNC lathes and machining centers for numerous industrial valve components. Worked with Industrial engineers on projects to improve efficiencies by standardizing CNC lathe tool packages and reprogramming parts to work with standard quick change tools. Primary goals being to reduce setup time, and improve efficiency of machining operations.

Austin, Tx

Designed robust and reliable CNC machining processes for complex orthopedic implants. Introduced setup reduction strategies to reduce errors, boost productivity and lower costs.Redesigned and consolidated femoral head turning process from a two setup to a one setup process, saving $170K annually in labor and material. Guided transition from manual CNC lathe programming to Pro/Engineer Pro/Manufacturing of femoral head product line.Developed Okuma macro programming that automatically calculated tool offsets and updated offset registers for quicker more accurate prove out times.

Hurst, Texas, United States

Was the primary catalyst in the startup of a new CAD/CAM programming system. Initiated the process of using CAD geometry to program CNC machining centers and CNC punch presses. Created 3 and 4 axis milling programs for Boeing aircraft parts using FASTCAM programming system.Designed holding fixtures for CNC milling. Completed detailing of fixture components using CADKEY 2D CAD system. Improved the communication between Manufacturing Engineering and tooling department by creating well-documented and detailed fixture drawings.Modeled all part geometry from Boeing blueprints. Used CAD geometry to generate accurate and error free tool paths.Created comprehensive CNC setup documentation for multi-stage milling processes. Processing errors were reduced resulting in reduced setup time, scrap reduction and improved operator confidence.
