Message

At INDUSTRIAL COMBUSTION, I designed 3D models to improve assembly accuracy and production efficiency. I also developed precise part drawings for manufacturing quality control.

I implemented system improvements and refined design processes with teams to improve workflow. I streamlined drawing protocols to reduce turnaround time for complex parts.

At MADISON KIPP CORPORATION, I updated plant-layout drawings to show Emergency Response equipment, chemical storage, and camera coverage. I also worked on tool improvements and detail drawings for complex tooling parts.

As a CAD Technician at Corning, I worked with engineers to make requested changes to drawings, parts, and assemblies while avoiding interruptions to factory-floor workflows.
