Programmed and operated a HASS TL-1 CNC lathe to construct various hydraulic parts.

* Created software modules to automate task within Esprit, AutoCad, ProE/Creo, MS Excel, and the CNC machinery. * Programed 5-axis MillTurn Impeller Parts on Mazak Integrex. * Provided Esprit CAM programming and machining support for Emergent Operation processes. * Trained other technicians in the engineering department how to use Esprit to help support the shop floor. * Troubleshooted and diagnosed processes to eliminate quality issues and reduce cycle times. * Created and proved out CNC programs for all machines on the shop floor.

* Operated various CNC machines to achieve production requirements. * Created Total Productive Maintenance procedures to reduce downtime. * Designed workplace organizational methods to increase productivity and 5S scores. * Trained employees to operate CNC machines and adhere to TPM standards. * Programmed new Multi-Axis machines to increase production and eliminate multiple operations.

* Created software modules to automate task within EdgeCam, AutoCad, MS Excel, and the CNC machinery. * Played a key role in ensuring the successful completion of all parts being manufactured in the plant. * Discussed modern tool changes with representatives of Sandvik, Iscar, and Kennametal to increase productivity for all machine cells. * Setup dedicated tooling machines to decrease the amount of time to setup single part runs, using parametric programming techniques with Custom Macro B. * Educated employees on G-code and setup techniques to minimize scrap due to operator error. * Worked with design engineers to update products for new technology gains in CNC machines. * Designed fixtures for CNC mills. * Created macros and post processers for EdgeCam to output G-code for various CNC mills and lathes. * Worked on many 5-S, Kaizen, and other Lean programs to remove all bottlenecks within the manufacturing process.

* Programmed, set up, and operated Daewoo turret lathes with live tooling. * Programmed, set up, and operated Star fixed headstock lathes with live tooling. * Educated and commanded a team of operators working in different machine cells. * Reported all shift production information directly to plant manager.

Programmed 4 axis CNC mill to create parts for the Nuclear Industry.

* Create custom CNC programs for various local companies, due to proprietary agreements vagueness will remain a constant. * Created a macro driven program for FAGOR controlled Jig Grinder, that now is fully Automated. * Created several macros on Haas VF-3 to create different sizes of all assembled parts, based on several variables. * Engineered 5-Axis fixtures for holding parts from forge, mold, and billet raw stocks to machine to strict GTD guidelines.

Manufactured Design Projects Using Manual Mills, Lathes, CNC Machines, and Various Other Shop Floor Equipment.","To further my engineering skill I needed to know the proper processes it takes to manufacture individual parts to create a working system. At the time of these courses I was already employed as a CNC operator and knew a few things that I learned from \"on the job\" training, but my desire to \"know\" what I knew drove me to a higher understanding of why these processes needed to take place to have the intended outcome."]

Designed and Troubleshooted Electrical, Pneumatic, Hydraulic, and PLC Control Systems.","I have always wanted to be an engineer and I have met many in my day that design impractical and unsafe machines, I took these courses to better understand what someone has to go through when maintaining these systems, what I learned here has been the foot stone of all my design work and the premise of most of my industrial decisions."]

First Semester; Using Python to solve logic based problems, Creating Visual Basic applications for everyday use, Produce SQL scripts to query databases."]

Designed. Implemented, and Manufactured Individual Piece Parts To Create Functional Mechanical Systems. Everything I had learned from my previous course work and professional experience allowed me to fully understand the projects and help other students understand how to achieve their goals. I was routinely challenged by fellow students and teachers to create new CAD & CAM projects to test the boundary of the software, the CNC machinery, and my skill set.
