As a PLM Consultant at Cre8tive Technology and Design I develop software configurations and system designs from customer requirements. I have developed training courses and documentation for Key Users and Administrators. I handle the full implementation of PRO.FILE by preparing servers, installing PRO.FILE, SSMS, App Server components, Job Server configuration, and more. I develop custom SQL triggers and stored procedures to supplement PRO.FILE for customer needs. I also design and program custom software packages and addons in C#.

 

Previously, I was the PLM Engineer and 3DEXPERIENCE administrator at Eviation Aircraft. At Eviation we developed Alice, a Part 23 fully electric aircraft. My primary responsibilities included configuring and managing our PLM software (ENOVIA) and CAD software (CATIA). I developed a fastener library from the ground up including creating and populating custom attributes. I performed a data migration from a foreign tenant to a US tenant with custom Python script and batch files by utilizing the command line interface of 3DEXPERIENCE. Additionally, I created productivity and automation macros in VBScript and VBA to provide solutions to reduce redundant effort and improve data integrity and quality.

 

For eight years I worked as a Production Support, MRB Engineer on the production of the 767 and the KC-46 Tanker. My primary responsibility was to develop solutions to production issues that included manufacturing errors, drawing errors, and validation test failures. I would determine root cause of the issue and design rework to return the aircraft to its original design capability. I worked with metallic structure, composite structure, electrical systems, and hydraulic systems. My years of experience supporting production have made me very detail oriented and able to evaluate how a system works at a glance.

 

I regularly sought input from a variety of sources including the more experienced engineers in my group, design engineers for the affected systems, and the mechanics that perform the installation. To properly address an issue often required broad knowledge to be able to determine the best rework. I routinely coordinated with mechanics and engineers up and down stream in production to fully address issues.

For two years I worked as a Payload Systems Design Engineer for 777X Stowbins. I developed structural and interior payload systems. I also performed ultimate load testing to validate components met requirements and specifications. My time as a Design Engineer also allowed me to significantly expand my CATIA and ENOVIA skills.

 

I was laid off in late 2020 due to the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. I turned my layoff into an opportunity to expand my skill set and earned a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science through Western Governors University. WGU has pioneered the competency-based education model by which degrees are awarded based on skills and learning rather than time spent in a classroom. Students are allowed to progress as soon as they can prove they've mastered the material. I was able to advance through my coursework at an accelerated speed, completing my bachelor's degree in just 12 months.
