Experience
Strom Engineering @ Honeywell Aerospace – Minneapolis, MN CNC Machinist – January 2017 to present
Performed all lathe and mill operations required to produce finished and roughed Ring Laser Gyroscope
(RLG) products from a variety of materials.
Worked from blueprints, specifications, job layouts, and written and oral instructions for the successful set-up and operation of manual or CNC machine tools.
Rock Solid Employment – Houston, TX
CNC Machinist II/Mechanical Assembler – May 2013 to January 2017
Operated 5 axis horizontal boring mill with Sinumerik, Fanuc and Haas controls.
Responsible for machining large Subsea parts, such as Gate Valves, flow loops and tubing heads.
Reviewed blueprints, job orders and set-up sheets for product specifications such as dimensions, tolerances, tooling instructions such as fixtures, feed rates, cutting speeds, depth of cut, and determines sequence of operations.
Responsible for testing and calibrating sub-assemblies and final assemblies. Installed moving parts such as shafts, levers and bearings to test parts free movement.
Performed “Deburr” operations to rid machined parts of sharp edges inside bores and thread holes and to correct surface finishes. Removed small amounts of metal to clean and produce close fits between parts using drills, taps and ream holes.
Used measuring devices such as O.D./I.D. mics, digital/dial calipers, depth mics and tri mics to check all part dimensions. Also responsible for performing quality tests such as hydraulic, hydrostatic, shot-peening and visual inspections.
Used material handling equipment such as overhead cranes, jib cranes and forklifts to move parts and components to and from work area.

FMC TECHNOLOGIES – Houston, TX
CNC Machinist I – April 2012 to April 2013
Operated G&L 5 axis horizontal boring mill with Siemens Sinumerik 840D controls.
Machined parts assigned to medium and large block group such as tubing heads, T-bodies, flow loops and gate valves.
Performed diversified machining operations and finishes on complex parts that include exact placement o features, tapers, threading, and tolerances of less than .005.
Reviewed procedures, work orders, blueprints, set-up sheets to plan the job layout with as few set-ups as possible.
Reviewed program printouts to identify possible errors and correct program on machine controls if needed.
Modified tooling call-outs, offsets, speeds and feeds to compensate for variations in the material.
Used measuring devices such as O.D./I.D. mics, digital/dial calipers, depth mics and tri mics to check all part dimensions. Also de-burred each machined feature to eliminate sharp edges and ensure surface finish is correct. ATTERO/PROSTAFF on assignment at FMC TECHNOLOGIES – Houston, TX Machinist/Assembler Apprentice – December 2011 to April 2012
Worked to develop skills necessary to advance to Machinist I.
Obtained basic knowledge in areas such as performing set-ups, turning, milling, tooling, and debur processes as specified by work orders, blueprints, set-up sheets and verbal instructions.
Trained on G&L large horizontal boring mills and TACCHI gap bed lathes. (Giddings and Lewis 8000 and Siemens Sinumerik 840D controls.)
Completed Machining Technology certificate program at Lone Star – North Harris. (Courses listed below) PRAXAIR DISTRIBUTION, INC.– Deer Park, TX
Cylinder Handler, September 2010 to August 2011
Loaded and unloaded gas cylinders onto and off route trucks and trailers.
Sorted empty cylinders by type and gas and placed into empty inventory racks.
Maintained cylinder inventory by doing daily quantity checks.
Reviewed customer orders, pulled items from inventory and load unto driver delivery trucks before the beginning of each shift.
Performed basic cylinder maintenance such as painting cylinders, labeling cylinders and performed valve repairs as needed.
Performed regulated pre-fill inspection on all cylinders prior to filling.
