At Robins Air Force Base, I review and validate complex engineering drawing packages for FAA/CFR, MIL-STD, and Technical Order compliance. I analyze data across 13+ aircraft platforms, author technical specifications, and resolve engineering support requests through troubleshooting and baseline maintenance.

Previously at Mathand Inc., I managed a $40M annual project portfolio and delivered practical engineering solutions for projects from $300K to $1.8M. I served as the technical liaison between customers and engineering teams, helping move projects toward approval and informed decisions.

My manufacturing background includes improving 30+ production workflows at Jefferson Southern Corp. and increasing output at Shaw Industries. I use Lean Six Sigma, root cause analysis, dashboards, and design review to reduce bottlenecks, identify savings, and strengthen engineering teams.
