What I'm looking for

I'm seeking new opportunities and experiences.

At Unified Supply, I engineered 2D and 3D airport conveyor models in SolidWorks, using sheet metal design and GD&T to prevent shop-floor fit-up errors and streamline vendor fabrication. I also configured parametric Design Tables to reduce drafting turnaround time.

I led conveyor projects from concept through production, working with architectural drawings, inventory systems, and BOMs to support on-time builds. I created QC inspection protocols and technical documentation, and partnered with production and field teams to turn assembly feedback into CAD improvements.

Earlier, at AAPlasma LLC, I designed electrodes for plasma power supplies and created drawings for wood and metal components. My experience also includes industrial engineering and process improvements at WuXi AppTec, where I helped reduce customer cycle times by 30% and save $150,000 through quality control procedures.
