Work Experience:

Apr '07 - Present Advanced Manufacturing Engineer Halliburton

Houston, TX

Current Responsibilities: Managing the advanced manufacturing

projects from inception through implementation including business

case, budgeting, scheduling, resource loading, and technical

acumen at a corporate perspective. Below is a list of projects

either completed or currently underway:

Recent Accomplishments:

. Developed a real-time, shop floor monitoring system for machining,

furnace, and other skilled operations specifically to measure

utilization and process efficiencies; To date: $1.8M cost

avoidance and annual savings of $420K

. Implemented a new automated inspection process using optical and x-

ray inspection equipment; 40% improvement in inspection quality

over current practice

. Developed an advanced work instruction system for capturing

manufacturing intent, tribal knowledge, shop floor data, and

standard work

. Created an improved manufacturing capital reporting and tracking

process to SAP

Feb '99 - Mar '07 Advanced Manufacturing Engineer Raytheon (RMS)

Tucson, AZ

Responsibilities: Managing the development of a manufacturing

modeling capability that helps new programs establish a

manufacturing baseline and should-cost model for early adoption of

manufacturing intent in the design process.

Accomplishments:

. Achieved manufacturing & should-cost models for two new advanced

programs

. Introduced a common user-interface platform for factory floor

implementation

. Managed the development of a custom automated torque machine that

reduced current assembly rates by 65%

. Managed the implementation of a lean manufacturing line for mixed-

product flow

Previous Responsibilities: Led a team of 10 engineers in

developing advanced manufacturing projects ($50M+) for the Army;

Oversaw the Raytheon subcontract for the Totally Integrated

Manufacturing Enterprise program.

Previous Accomplishments:

. Developed the Army's virtual prototyping enterprise over a 2-year

period; a production savings for DOD-Munitions between $41-$120

million

. Created a standardized integrated product development process

architecture for mechanical piece parts, reducing design cost by

30%

. Managed the development of a web-based training tool for Army R&D

Division

Feb '97 - Feb '99 Process Engineer Lucent Technologies

Shreveport, Louisiana

Responsibilities: Project lead over all aspects of Lucent's new

laser marking technology; investigation of new manufacturing

technology to improve agility and flexibility for make-to-order

strategy.

Accomplishments:

. Developed laser marking process from initial art concept through

production

. Optimized laser marking parameters for lowest cycle time and

highest quality improving throughput by 40%

. Improved panel router process with central pull system and

preventive maintenance

. Expanded applications of laser marking machines into other

manufacturing areas

Dec '95 - Feb '97 Development Engineer ICON Industrial Controls

(Startup) Shreveport, Louisiana

Responsibilities: Managed and performed the integration tasks for

a PC-based, open-architecture machine controller under an Army

CRADA project; Developed the network and system infrastructure for

integrating the machine with the manufacturing enterprise.

Accomplishments:

. Performed systems integration on the first open architecture

machine controller on a 4-axis milling machine

. Developed a turnkey laboratory system for capturing photographs of

high speed particles in flight; 95% success capture rate vs. 25%

capture rate for equal systems.

Feb '95 - Nov '95 Development Engineer Vector, Inc. (Startup)

Fayetteville, Arkansas

Responsibilities: Product development and systems integration of a

PC-based, open-architecture controller from development through

manufacturing; Led initial production, software testing, and

quality control; provided technical assistance for customers

Accomplishments:

. Transitioned prototype into production inside 6 months

. Integrated PC-based, open-architecture controllers at customer

premises

. Completed the design of a zero-backlash, retrofit kit for vertical

knee mills
