ACCOMPLISHMEMENTS

> Reviewed, edited, and approved welding, heat treating, coatings, and

inspection procedures for Exxon and Russian Sakhalin Oil field

consortium hardware to help bring on line 45 year oil supply to Russia,

Asia, and world market. (Worley Parsons, 2010-2011)

> Designed, conducted, and analyzed Six Sigma DOE experiments to solve

quality problems and lower costs. Improved first time yields on several

projects from 25% to 100%. Contributed to Six Sigma design reviews. (GE

Aviation, Unison Industries)

> Supported the development of custom computerized dimensional inspection

system on a distributed computer network, which tripled product

throughput. Tested over 100,000 lines of code and 400 subroutines in

Fortran and Assembly language. Administered database with 1,500,000

keypad entries and zero errors. (Dimensional Inspections to within +/-

.0001") (United Nuclear Corporation Naval Reactors Division)

> Qualified complex welding and machining procedures for nuclear hardware

involving leak testing, X-Ray, UT, DPI, metallographic, dimensional and

corrosion inspections. Repair methods were successfully developed to

recover $1.5M each nuclear reactor assemblies. (United Nuclear

Corporation Naval Reactors Division)
