My goal is to solve mechanical problems in the most efficient manner. I started my career early building custom machinery and precision robots. That's where I learned that taking consideration for how a device will be manufactured pays dividends in production. My approach to engineering is to bridge the gap between manufacturing and engineering. I seek feedback from technicians and fabricators during the design process in an attempt to both educate myself and to avoid unforseen problems.I have experience in design, fabricaton, and/or assembly of:Capital equipmentVacuum chambersVacuum compatible mechanismsSheet metal Design for precisionDesign for harsh environments (radiation, magnetic fields, high voltage, high temperature)Accelerator beam line devices and optics (ion sources, faraday cups, apertures)Semiconductor wafer handlingPackaging machinerySpecialized QC inspection equipment (gauges, specialized measuring devices) Electronics chassisGas boxes and process pipingEnergy chains (large and small)Cable managementNeutron shieldingMagnetic shieldingLinear and rotary motionCeramicsGraphiteCopperAutomotive systemsMobile robotsDomestic robotsVacuum pipingWater coolingSpecialized tools, fixtures, and test standsOperator interfacesI also have extensive experience ECO processes, PDM, and document control.

Listed skills include Solidworks, Design For Manufacturing, Medical Devices, Sheet Metal, and 21 others.
