PROFILE
The bulk of my work experience has been in Semiconductor Manufacturing field at Intel Corporation, gaining expert level experience on leading edge hardware such as Vectra Focus Ion Beam (FIB), CNC HAAS, and Trion Laser Chemical Etching (LCE) used for integrated Circuit unit Sample Prep and Focus Ion Beam (FIB) execution for Debug and Failure Analysis, Aside from daily execution, all tools in addition to the ones listed above were primarily utilized for the development of new product process recipes as well as implementing a number of process improvements to existing processes, all with well documented and organized data highlighting either improved process throughput time (TPT) and/or consumable cost reduction.
