Garrett, Indiana
Among many services, I provide product, machine, and tooling design, which can also include complete construction and programming. My work includes test fixtures and test specimens made to comply with various ASTM and ISO standards. I'm also skilled in designing production machinery for tier 1 automotive suppliers, especially in the area of NVH/automotive rubber products, including high-compression rubber bushing assembly. I have designed and built sheet metal and CNC-machined airborne electronics housings and chassis for use in small aircraft and drones used by government agencies. I've done work on interactive museum displays and for architectural/historical renovation and restoration. I have my own shop and am capable of prototyping, short-run production and model making.

Lafayette, Indiana
As a driven Mechatronics Engineering student at Purdue University, I transform theoretical concepts into tangible solutions that enhance efficiency, safety, and learning in industrial environments. My expertise integrates cutting-edge AI with industrial automation, leveraging PLC systems, sensor networks, and AI tools to solve real-world manufacturing challenges. I deliver hands-on experience in designing, simulating, and deploying integrated systems from concept to operation. What I Deliver: Process Automation & AI Integration: Design and deployment of intelligent automation solutions (PLCs, HMIs, robotics) and AI-powered tools for training, optimization, and predictive maintenance. Proven example: Engineered and deployed a ChatGPT-powered interactive training cart for Purdue's Smart Manufacturing Lab. This system enables students to master complex PLC programming (Allen-Bradley, Studio 5000) and process control through AI-guided workflows, enhancing learning efficiency (e.g., reduced training time by X%, increased competency by Y% - add metrics if possible). End-to-End Industrial System Design & Simulation: Full lifecycle development including conceptualization, CAD design (AutoCAD, SolidWorks), component selection, sensor integration, control logic programming (Studio 5000), commissioning, and troubleshooting. I create realistic simulation environments for system validation, operator training, and safe troubleshooting. Data-Driven Problem Solving & Process Optimization: Application of Six Sigma methodologies (DMAIC, Root Cause Analysis) to identify bottlenecks, reduce waste, and improve quality. I leverage operational data to drive insights for continuous improvement. Proven example: Analyzed manufacturing process data, applied Six Sigma tools to identify inefficiencies, and implemented automation changes resulting in a Z% increase in throughput / W% reduction in defects (quantify impact if possible). Technical Proficiencies: PLC/HMI Programming: Rockwell Automation (Studio 5000 Logix Designer, FactoryTalk View). CAD & Design: AutoCAD, SolidWorks. Automation Hardware: Sensor integration (Vision, Pressure, Temp, Flow), Motor Controls. AI Integration: Practical LLM application (e.g., ChatGPT API) for industrial use cases. Methodologies: Six Sigma (Green Belt principles), Lean Manufacturing. Core Skills: Industrial Troubleshooting, System Simulation, Technical Documentation. Why Hire Me? I combine Purdue's top-tier engineering education with hands-on project execution. I actively bridge emerging AI technologies with industrial automation practices and am dedicated to finding efficient, data-backed solutions. I communicate technical concepts clearly for diverse audiences. Ideal Projects: Designing or troubleshooting PLC-controlled automation systems; Developing AI-enhanced tools for industrial training or diagnostics; Creating manufacturing process simulations; Optimizing processes using data analysis and Six Sigma; Developing CAD models/schematics for industrial equipment; Integrating sensor networks and data acquisition systems. Ready to leverage cutting-edge technology to solve your manufacturing or training challenges? Let's discuss how I can bring innovative solutions to your project!
