Services offered
I'm a dedicated full-time student pursuing my bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering at Missouri S&T while simultaneously gaining hands-on experience at Republic Incorporated. I serve as a Production Design Manager, specializing in creating 3D models, 2D drawings, and generating accurate quotes.
In my role, I bridge the gap between design and production, ensuring seamless collaboration. One of my proudest achievements has been significantly enhancing the efficiency of the CNC department. I achieved this by developing innovative work-holding designs and implementing the right tooling for maximum speeds and feeds, all while maintaining a cost-effective approach to high-output production. Additionally, I've designed parts with a keen focus on functionality and manufacturability.
I'm passionate about engineering and manufacturing and I thrive in challenging environments that demand attention to detail and technical acumen. My academic pursuits complement my practical experience, enabling me to apply the latest industry trends and knowledge to real-world projects.I'm a dedicated full-time student pursuing my bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering at Missouri S&T while simultaneously gaining hands-on experience at Republic Incorporated.
