EXPERIENCE

Design meets manufacturing.

As an Estimation and Design Specialist at GN Corporation, I connect mechanical design with manufacturing decisions: locating and clamping, GD&T, process planning, material demand, and quoting. My experience spans production tooling, custom fabrication, design release, and shop-floor prove-outs. I also develop SolidWorks VBA tools, calculators, and software prototypes that make engineering workflows easier to repeat and review.
