At Superior Packaging and Finishing, I led prepress and workflow systems across Heidelberg offset, Landa digital, Esko Automation Engine, Prinect, and CtP. I isolated and corrected a complex Esko-to-Prinect spot-channel and color-bar error, then validated the output.

At MOO Print Ltd., I administered HP SiteFlow and OEE systems supporting automated eCommerce-to-production operations. I also provided advanced print-workflow support at Tennessee Farm Bureau Insurance and served as a customer-facing DFE and workflow specialist at Landa Digital Printing.
