Work Experience
Manufacturing Engineer
Jan 2017 – Present
Tool Gauge (TG) | Tacoma, WA |
- Established a reputation for high-quality work delivered ahead of schedule.
- Ensured manufacturing compliance to Boeing specifications, AS9100 requirements, and OSHA robotic safety requirements (ANSI/RIA 15.06).
- Utilized 3D (FDM) printers to produce on-demand fixtures, test processes, and reduce the cost of existing fixtures by over 50%.
- Designed cobotic cell supporting six part configurations saving an estimated $200,000 per year, featured on the Universal Robots website.
- Developed software tool for tracking changes in customer purchase requests, saving hours of work every month for project managers and executives.
- Led sprue picker (robotics) implementation of TG’s next-generation presses.
- Designed quick-change system for sprue picker end of arm tools.
- Programmed complicated picking operations for tools with intricate cavities.
- Challenged the status-quo where appropriate:

Some examples of my course work, mid-masters:
On electric aerospace and superconducting motors:
Simulating a Piezoelectric-Haptic MEMS Actuator in Low-Frequency Vibration
Deployment of a Jupyterhub Server
Optimization of a Flying Wing’s Geometry
Analysis of a 10 Bar Truss Using a Stiffness Matrix
This needs a little more introduction. The analysis used below resembles an FEA analysis, however it was computed by hand. The problem had a mesh provided, eliminating the most mathematically interesting part of an FEA process.
