OVERVIEW
I am a Mechanical Engineer with four years of experience in the medical device industry designing high speed, high precision
machinery, and managing cGMP quality systems for projects. From 2018 through 2020, I booked over one million dollars in
savings by designing machine improvements, creating new procedures, and streamlining processes. Medical products that I
have been involved with include pharmaceutical auto-injectors, IV injection ports, and contact lenses.
Core competencies include project management, CAD modeling, Quality Engineering, technical writing, GD&T, Six Sigma
(green belt), Root Cause Analysis, Statistical Analysis, high level mechanical design, and DFM.
