About
My experience is centered around R&D and manufacturing. Early in my career, I worked in Agriculture developing robotics and sensors to keep plastic waste out of the cotton ginning process. After that, I worked in the design of cotton gins. From there, I started working with industrial heat exchangers.
My skills lean towards 2D cad with AutoCAD designing parts for production. I am also capable in SolidWorks and Fusion 360.
