Background

I am a construction project manager, currently looking to get back into the Aerospace industry in some capacity. Preferably as a manufacturing engineer, project engineer, project manager, or a similar position, but open to many positions. I am aiming to relocate to the Greater Seattle Area within the next 2-4 months if possible!

  Pratt & Whitney
  

  Hartford, CT, USA

  • Assisted in the manufacturing development of first stage rotors for advanced military programs by aiding in print reviews and approvals, and creating and implementing work instructions for multiple machining processes
  • Performed statistical analysis, such as capability studies and one-way ANOVA, on the run out data of an inertia welding machine using excel and minitab, results were support for justification to purchase a new inertia welder
  • Interfaced daily with many divisions within Pratt (design, quality, structures, operations), discussing the capabilities of operations, in order to coordinate manufacturability of the proposed design
  • Creatively and innovatively problem solved as issues arose on the shop floor, as well as implemented programs/processes to ensure a smooth production

• May 2018 - August 2018
  Quality Engineer Intern
  Faurecia
  

  Saline, MI, USA

  • Conducted capability study on Tesla airbag deployment contingent on completion of peel adhesion hypothesis tests, determining passing results while out of tolerance values with need for system improvement
  • Performed Design of Experiment (DOE) with minitab during weekends to analyze combinations of factors that
  work to produce the best peel adhesion test values, ensuring that the part is safe and free of flaws
  • Collected extensive data on current Ford F-150 doors, reorganized to update the tolerances for future F-150 door
  production, assuring tolerances are capable of being met
  • Constructed innovative series of excel documents, including Visual Basic for Applications (VBA), facilitating
  coordination between different sectors of the plant, guaranteeing that no necessary parts are untested
  • Implemented Poka Yoke’s, as well as created parts to test these mechanisms daily, preventing production from
  beginning with faulty machines that could lead to inefficient production

  • Worked alongside Program Launch Manager and lead Manufacturing Engineer to establish model line within the
  Company’s largest global plant, exemplifying Company production quality expectations
  • Independently conducted data and process analysis on operator and total cycle times, reducing operator cycle
  times from 1 minute to 45 seconds on door screw insertion, ultrasonic welding, and final inspection

Education

• University of Michigan
  Bachelors of Science in Mechanical Engineering
  

  2016 - 2020

  During my time at Michigan, I graduated with a 3.36 GPA, as well as participated in clubs such as Engineering Student Government, and REST (Robotic Exploration of Space Team)
