●Performed O.D and I.D Grinding and line milling of several different Aviation Valves and landing gear under Appendix A Saftey Procedures and ISO Quality policy. Used several different measuring tools such as tape measures, Calipers,bore gauges, Point-mic, Bi-mic, Tri-mic, all calibrated down to the 10th. Performed hand grinding and buffing to achieve correct R.A. of surfaces.

Feb .2023 - May. 2023, General Dynamics, Armoured Attack Vehicle / Quality Engineer- Anniston, AL

●Designed, formatted, and executed strategic business improvement plans by input of process updates using 2-D, and 3-D model blueprints incorporation with some AutoCAD. Developed and implemented quality and safety improvement initiatives in order to reduce process variation and defects. Performed spot checks and individual shop audits in accordance with all AS9100 inspections. Completed special projects and other duties as assigned.
