Work Experience
General overview of some of the work I have done
Process Engineer
2023-2025
- Functional owner of four continuous tube coating lines including hot dip galvanizing and crosshead extrusion
- Delivered $500,000 flying saw installation and controls upgrade project on time and on budget
- Designed a pyrometer window that screws directly into NPT threads which was manufactured in-house for ~$200 and 5 hours labor vs. the existing solution which cost ~$4000 and required an NPT adapter to be made in-house
- Executed controls wiring and programming to integrate sensors (pyrometers, laser speed sensors, laser micrometers, thermocouples and eddy current testers) and new equipment with distributed control systems
- Restored functionality to system providing feedback control to extruders to reduce variation in tube OD
- Improved reliability of recently commissioned automatic coiler by investigating mechanical defects, experimentally determining optimal coil OD setpoint and designing a guard to prevent tube from tangling on rack
- Integrated PLCs (Siemens and Allen-Bradley) with Ignition to improve data collection and process monitoring
- Analyzed line performance and presented improvement opportunities to a cross functional management team
