PROFILE
SECTION 1 – Work Experience and Skills
WORK STATUS US I am authorized to work in this country for any employer.
EXPERIENCE 9/2011 Present KPIT Cummins Mineral Point, WI
Program Manager
Responsible for 2 areas: Application support for serialization and implementing new
projects
Application support
Assisting the users (engineers and production operators in automotive environment) in
operating existing serialization program. Troubleshooting problems (usually data problems,
1D and 2D bar code scanner problems, printer problems)
Testing and moving to production new applications. Includes:
Working with IT personnel to get PC imaged,
Loading new application into PC,
Working with electricians to get PLC connection
Working with offshore team to enter test data and correct any problems in
application
Troubleshooting barcode printers and software
Troubleshooting 1D(Motorola) and 2D(Cognex) barcode scanners.
Interacting with routers and TCP/IP connections
Assist with PLC simulation code
Program Management
Identified new IT business (new applications and application revisions). Used ITPM
process to carry new application from concept, through testing to implementation in
production. Created detailed project requirements documentation. Worked with offshore
team to interpret document so that team could write code. Conducted UATs (application
testing) for new programs and revisions to programs
9/2000 9/2011 Draper Inc. Spiceland, IN
Manufacturing Engineer
Responsible for 2 areas: Application support for order entry and Manufacturing support.
Application support
Created and continue to support 2 applications used in order entry.
A fabric program that does the most efficient allocation of fabric. This program has the
following: 1) an ODBC link to databases in an IBM AS400 application, 2) SQL queries of
these databases to supply information (cut length, width, quantity, etc) to an allocation
algorithm, 3) an algorithm written in VBA that minimizes the fabric used while maximizing
the savings (approximately $300,000 annually), 4) an automatic output both to an Excel
spreadsheet and back into a database in AS400.
Manufacturing worksheets that are filled in automatically when a sales order is selected. It
includes the following: 1) an ODBC link to databases in an IBM AS400 application, 2) SQL
queries of these databases to supply information (part type, components, quantities, etc) to
the worksheet.
Manufacturing support
Responsible for project management of large capital expenditures (Have most recently
overseen the installation of powder paint line), specifying and purchasing tooling and
fixtures for new product lines, coordinating with all levels
PLC Experience
My PLC background is with Omron brand PLCs. I have used their ladder logic program, CX
programmer extensively. CX programmer is analogous to Allen Bradley’s RSLogix. I have
used CX Programmer to write, modify and troubleshoot with ladder logic on a couple of the
machines we have in our factory including a fabric cutting machine and a fabric heat sealing
machine.
I have also programmed using the Omron HMI software known as CX Designer. It is
analogous to Allen Bradley’s Panel Builder. I have added push buttons. screens, displays as
needed.
The SCADA software I have used is Indusoft which I used to connect our fabric cutting
machine to our AS400 network so we can deliver manufacturing orders directly to the
cutting machine’s PLC.
I have used both serial and Ethernet connections to connect these networks.
In addition I have extensive experience with C++,Visual Basic, MS Access and SQL.
