Observe and quantify current state of secondary operation work flow. Then, using process data collection, operator feedback, and on site observations to improve on existing systems or develop entirely new cutting, flanging, etching, and other systems to safely optimize output , reduce potential operator error, and improve ergonomics for operator wellness.Bullet point tasks.-ROI Analysis-CADD Design (Solidworks)-Floor Plan work flow diagraming (Indesign, Powerpoint,Solidworks)-Prototype potential solutions using hand fab, Additive manufacturing, and outsource/inhouse machining.-Create drawing and operation packets for new systems.-Monitor and maintain current systems while always looking for potential improvement opportunities.-Constant Operator and Management Interaction to stay up to date on plant workflow and any observed opportunities for growth/improvement

Design and build handmade tools and knives for every day carry using a mix of CADD software, bench built prototypes, 3D printing, and CNC Machining. I utilize local businesses for any of my outsourcing requirements such as larger scale CNC for making popular designs at scale and also large batch vacuum heat treating. Steel and scale materials are gathered either locally/domestically.

Process Manager for both production level additive manufacturing and prototype proof of concept level 3D printing. Between tasks I also assist with class A surface modeling and mechanical design. I utilize a variety of 3D CADD suites to trouble shoot including Solidworks/Rhino 3D / Meshmixer / Sketchup / and also Illustrator and Indesign. Whatever solution maintains artisic intent and functional feasability. As a Additive manufacturing and Prototyping manager. I have managed to help run ROI research to help Animax pivot from outsourcing production level 3D prints to purchasing/maintaining in house production capability. This has saved the company $ 2.8 million in the first 2 years of use. The front end effort payed off the machine cost in under 6 months as well as becoming a resource that takes weight off of our manual processes as well as subtractive CNC processes.Also, I have maintained the technical day to day operations of existing systems (MJF,SLA,and FDM). This has included utilizing software packages for 3D Prototyping and CAD Design as mentioned prior, as well as daily upkeep and communication in teams software and active queue logs.

CATIA tooling design and engineering for Interior Cabin and Structures. This includes trouble shooting and generating jigs, fixtures, and tooling for the manufacture and assembly of interior panels and composite tooling for aircraft cabins.

Oversee projects from initial concept development to final manufacturing, while working closely with engineers to insure the final client approved design direction.

Product DesignerTasked with development of new furniture and display systems that are easy to assemble and ship to our clients while keeping with the company's modern aesthetic. Specific tasks included concept development using sketching and CADD iteration as well as photorealistic computer renderings for integration into the catalog once projects where approved and budgeted.

Working as a technician in the prototyping shop at the Art Institute I would insure shop safety and help incoming students as well as faculty to understand and use the shop equipment safely. Also I would assist with tutorials as well as one on one time with students to show examples of design process using prototyping as a tool for discovery.
