What I'm looking for

I'm looking for technically rigorous engineering work involving structural analysis, tooling design, safety, and cross-functional collaboration across international teams.

At Boeing, I ensure the structural integrity of equipment and tooling used across manufacturing operations, using RISA-3D analysis and ADM/AISC code compliance to support safe designs.

As a Delegated Tool Approver, I independently approve tooling designs. I also serve as Quality Management Focal and lead Safety Management System initiatives for E&TE Stress.

Previously, I designed and modified assembly, drill, and location jigs, plus portable mechanical equipment, while leading value-engineering initiatives and coordinating as Project Focal for the ESRC group.
