Skills and Abilities:

18 years of software knowledge in Cadds5 -4x, Catia 3-4,SDRC-

series 7-8,IDEAS 11,Pro-E, Pro2001i, Wildfire 1-2,UG, UGnx -

nx2 with Iman, Solidworks 2006, and other MS software and

have certificates of completion.

I've worked on many programs for Ricardo Inc. over the years

from GM's Gen project, GM's High feature V6 and China project

Gm's Transmission valve body design using UG, UGnx, UGnx2

with Iman for 8-9 years creating models from surface data

like oil pumps, ac brackets, water inlets, heat shields,

inlets and exhaust manifolds and all about the chassis.

Visteon's throttle body design for the Viper/Srt10 using

Catia for this part, I been using Catia sense it went from

verse 3-4. This part is being used in the cars today and I

was the only designer on the job. I done work On the Prowler

Bell housing and remodeled their part from surface data to

detailing of many parts like inlets and exhaust manifolds to

crank and camshafts the list goes on.

STM's Sterling engine I used solid works for 5 years creating

models and assemblies for this job from cylinder sleeves,

valves and push rod to the head design.

The in house jobs started on the board and I took it upon

myself to learn Cadd5 and design a single Cylinder block with

crank and balance shafts, gear and spine design so we can

test all kinds of heads for the big 3,and later transferred

the surfaces to Catia to create a solid model. /GM's Hydra

program was done in UG same design was incorporated in this

job, Detriot Diesel's three cylinder engine, where I used

Catia to design a bedplate, balance shafts, gears and oil pan

and pump Transmission parts, worm paths, bell housing for the

Prowler and parts for the viper and 2D detailing.

Nissan was one of my last jobs with Ricardo they sent me to

training on IDEAS 10-11 worked on the job for a month or so

and the job got pushed back so I jumped from program to

program to help the other designers.

Stewart and Stevens I used Wild Fire 2 to design front end

components and AM General I used Pro-E 2001i to design

steering parts and put them in and assembly for the steering

to be analyzed by engineers. I been using Pro-e for a good 8-

9 years I've also worked On programs like Caterpillar and

John Deere engine I done Dyno room design from scratch from

piping layouts some wiring harness work to dyno bedplate and

test fixtures and reverse engineering and all the dyno rooms

at Ricardo from the cooling towers to gas feed line to all

the components in the rooms. And done other things to keep

productivities up.

Personal note: I'm very dependable and pick other software

very easy. I work well with others given a chance. I'm eager

to work, Very versatile and learn as much as I can to make my

job and others more productive and for the satisfaction of

the customer and for everyone that is involved to make the

company the best and natural first choice when and where the

customer's need it.

I came out here in 1988 from California and worked for

A.J.Segal and sons as a manual drafter designing ducts for

all kinds of buildings, but they went out of business. So

from there I worked for Batten design and engineering

detailing on the broad designing heads, manifolds, and other

parts for the 2.5 L and the split port where I designed the

ports. I helped with the McClain engine and helped with the

Liberty Hydraulic lifter engine for Chrysler. I designed

camshafts, crankshafts, throttle bodies, pistons, Valves, oil

pans, intake manifolds, exhaust manifolds, Transmission parts

and bell housings to plenums and other components, and stack

ups for fit and function. I helped in the pattern shop and

ran dyno machines, even did tear down for a Ford

presentation.

I took it upon myself to learn cad software to help the

company. I learned Cadds 4x and 5 and was very proficient

with it. I help fix models and drawings for the Ferrari

transmission and helped design our single cylinder engine and

related components from the block the crank the balance

shafts, and jackshafts and gears, spline shafts. I learned

Catia v3-4 and was very good at modeling.

I learned ProE on my own to help my company grow. I helped

design and detail parts and knows most of the Big 3's design

standards. I learned solid works to Catia to Pro-e to UG to

IDEAS and worked from cloud Data, CMM to create models, I

worked from concept phases all the way to Production. And so

on there is nothing I can't do if I give it my all.
