WORK EXPERIENCE

Jul 2012 – Feb 2013 Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations Trenton, SC

Jr. Process Engineer – Extrusion

Part of a team which assisted in the development of a start-up facility. Developed schedule to accurately test

designated machines in timely manner to qualify for production. Set up die development system in order to

assure quality of rubber product. Established standard practices that contained specifications for machines

and product. Coordinated with quality and production departments in setting up proper monitoring of quality

and processing areas.

Jan. 2012- Apr 2012 North Carolina State University Raleigh, NC

Senior Design Team Member - Fabricator

Worked with a team sponsored by Norfolk Southern which gave us the task of developing an automated rail

grinder. Implemented design fundamentals and engineering strategies to meet company demand, designed

and built product while providing team atmosphere. Heavily involved in the design and analysis portion of

the project. Performed duties such as sketching ideas and determining its feasibility, taking design and

rendering it as a 3D model in Solidworks, and performing simulations on critical pieces of project to

determine if they can support the load they would be subjected to. Resulted in a finished product that

improves the productivity of the company.

PROJECTS

Aug 2011 – Dec 2011 North Carolina State University Raleigh, NC

Centrifugal Clutch Project

Worked with at team given the task of designing a centrifugal clutch pack for a top-fuel dragster under

specific load conditions. Performed analysis to determine proper thickness of each clutch pad and shape of

each clutch “finger” in pack. Performed analysis in AutoCAD and Solidworks on each clutch finger do

determine its mechanical advantage and center of gravity to assure it would engage at a certain rpm.

Motorcycle Transmission Project

Worked in a team given the task of developing a transmission for a two-cylinder low-speed motorcycle.

Sketched and rendered a 2D layout of transmission in Solidworks. Brainstormed and designed the gears in

transmission, which involved determining how many teeth is needed and the shape they need to be. Rendered

gear drawings as 3D models in Solidworks.

SKILLS - MATLAB, Solid Works, Microsoft Word, Excel, Power point, AutoCAD
