I am a highly motivated professional with a strong background in Process Engineering with over 15 years of experience. I have extensive knowledge in design, development and implementation of manufacturing processes, process optimization, cutting tool selection, monitor and troubleshoot manufacturing processes to ensure quality and efficiency, product design for manufacture (DfM) and design for assembly (DfA). Following a continuous improvement approach to everything I do with the intent to reduce costs by improving efficiency and quality. Most recent projects include a significant reduction in programming time from 6 hours to 40 mins in a job of a 1000 different 5 axis parts, reduction in 40% of machining time and a 25% reduction in material on an aerospace project, adopting continuous improvement measures to reduce setup times and shop floor organization leading to incredible time savings and right first time improvements, introduction of tool breakage checker in processes.

• Achieved high reduction in machining times of over 40% and material cuts by 25%
• Reduced CAM times from 6 hours to 40 mins in a project of 1000 different parts
• Improved Yield by implementing automated processes on the machine and CAM programs
• Reduced CAM times by 20% by creating tool libraries
• Improved tool store layout to reduce setup times
