Mechanical engineer with expertise in CAD and manufacturing.
What I'm looking for
I am a mechanical engineer with international expertise in manufacturing and computer-aided design (CAD). I graduated with a Bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Arkansas, achieving a GPA of 3.62. My career has been marked by significant roles, including my current position as a Mechanical Engineer and Supervisor at Forever Oceans Panamá S.A., where I lead a multidisciplinary team in maintenance management and the implementation of CMMS software.
Throughout my career, I have successfully managed key projects, such as developing an auxiliary cooling system for marine generators and optimizing resource use in CAD design. My experience also includes internships at Cummins Emission Solutions and ReCon Houston Plan, where I honed my skills in non-destructive testing and process supervision. I am passionate about leveraging my technical skills and leadership abilities to drive efficiency and innovation in engineering projects.
