About

I am an experienced mechanical engineer having worked in the industry for over 13 years. I bring an immense amount of value with my education, experience in the Aerospace and Defense industry, excellent interpersonal skills, innovative mind, and strong moral character. I take pride in my ability to be a critical thinker and a detail-oriented individual who can meet customer requirements, schedule dates, and cost targets. I have a proven history of working as a lead mechanical engineer on various development programs involving new product design, mechanical system design for production, and performing testing. I have been responsible to take a design from the conceptualization to critical design, manufacture, and production stages of the product life cycle. I have design experience which includes automation systems for production, fixtures and tooling for production systems, gas mixing systems working with hydrogen and nitrogen, rugged computing systems, electronic thermal cooling systems via convection and conduction heat transfer, hydraulic aircraft components including valves and pumps, robotic systems including actuator design and control system design. I am also experience in rapid prototyping working with 3D printers and CNC machining. I am an expert with Solidworks, Solidworks Simulation, and Solidworks Flow SImulation. I have my Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering and Design from California State University Northridge. I have a passion for mechanical engineering and love opportunities to bring value to any organization.
