NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENTS
● Create standard work procedures for assembly of reverse osmosis desalination units.
● Troubleshoot supplier problems and advise suppliers on how to proceed.
● Participate in Kaizen events to organize the production floor.
● Design tooling and fixtures for assembly fit-up.
● Plan the manufacture of fluid system fittings and components using Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software
● Design pipe fitting forge die drawings, and coordinate the procurement of dies through subcontractors
● Streamline manufacturing and job quoting by creating Excel starting material calculators. Write and amend proprietary manufacturing procedures for creating and testing hot and cold-formed tube fittings made from corrosion resistant metals and superalloys including: Inconel, Monel, Hastelloy, Titanium, Copper-Nickel, and stainless steel
●
Managed the development (e.g. design, qualification testing, manufacture, and installation) of several valve designs to be installed aboard the USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN78) nuclear-powered aircraft carrier
●
Interfaced with our customer, suppliers, and subcontractors in order to effectively communicate concerns and solve problems related to CVN78 valve developments
●
Wrote, reviewed, and approved/disapproved weld, NDT, and qualification(e.g. hydrostatic, shock, vibration) test procedures and reports
●
Performed fatigue analyses on forged-body globe valves versus cast-body valves to determine if there would be a build up of residual stresses over the life of the ship in the forged bodies and whether they could feasibly be used in place of the previously installed cast bodies
●
● Foundry Educational Foundation Scholarship
● 30-Hour Occupational Safety and Health Course Completion Certification I was selected to travel to Ireland during college in order to participate in a project with the Dublin Institute of Technology. While there, three classmates and I presented finite element analysis results on a local Indiana truck manufacturer’s suspension component.
●
I participated in a three-day program called “Engineers to Sea” in which I lived aboard a nuclear aircraft carrier for the purpose of being trained on daily operations of the crew as well as the mechanical operation of crucial components aboard
