I have a mechanical background in my employment history that includes tool & die, CNC, and manual machining, though I currently design tooling. Throughout my time as a Machinist / Toolmaker, I have machined many different metal and plastic parts. Many of these metal parts were made to very close tolerances from engineer’s blueprints and my own blueprints. Software programs that I am proficient with are AutoCad, Mastercam, and ProE. I can program, and set up CNC machining centers. I have also designed and built jigs, fixtures, and gages to use in production. I have trained many new employees. I am able to work independently, as well as, in a team. In conclusion, I take pride in my work and manage my time wisely.
