I am a graduate of Arizona State University, with a B.S.E. in Mechanical Engineering. I have hands-on experience in metal fabrication, metal machining, composite repair, welding, and general maintenance & repair. During my recent role as a Manufacturing Engineer Intern at Times Microwave Systems, I designed tooling and equipment that improved efficiency and throughput within the work center. As a current Manufacturing Engineer, I have continued to research, develop and implement improvements to the work center. This includes designing and fabricating custom CNC machining equipment, as well as validating more efficient machining processes.Prior to my collegiate education, I served in the United States Marine Corps as a Collateral Duty Inspector for CH-53E helicopters. In this position, I managed and instructed the Airframes work center and received training on hydraulic, pneumatic, and structural systems, as well as aircraft corrosion prevention and treatment.
