I repair and manufacture aircraft structures for commercial aircraft maintenance and overhaul.

I'm currently working at Jet Aviation on De Havilland Dash 8-400 aircraft, Fokker 70 and 100 aircraft, and Embraer 190s, completing structural repairs including stringer and spar splices, skin patches, nacelle heat-shield doublers, and bracket replacements.

Previously at ACS Aviation Industries, I overhauled Boeing 737, 757, and 777 and Airbus A320 and A330 components, including flight-control surfaces, engine cowling, thrust reversers, pylon fairings, door latches, radomes, and APU exhaust mufflers.

I'm a qualified aircraft structures and mechanical engineer with six years of experience, confident reading SRM, AMM, CMM, and IPC manuals and manufacturing sheet-metal repair parts.
