PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Building Code and Miami Dade Protocol Engineering requirements. AMF also specializes in the manufacture of aluminum

Hurricane impact and decorative shutters.

I was involved through entire design process. From beginning stages, meeting with customer, determining size and specification specifics, to preparing submittal / approval drawings, to preparing fabrication drawings, to eventually preparing field / installation drawings.

I performed dimensional inspections in shop after components were fit up and tack welded, before full welding to insure tolerance compliance.

Part of my responsibilities were to sometimes take field measurements, for new projects or existing equipment to be retro-fit with new components.
