SUMMARY

I am an outgoing, fast learner who is very interested in the engineering challenges presented by the hardware development and how it is integrated in everyday life. Working through the duration of school has equipped me to deliver innovative solutions by combining a good work ethic and BS in Mechanical Engineering. My training in mechanical engineering applications will allow me to deliver results measurable through goal setting, positive attitude and high trainability. I am willing to travel on short notice and can take extended international assignments as needed.

EXPERIENCE

U-Verse Premise Technician, AT&TTyler, Texas 2015-Current

I was employed as an UVerse premise technician, I have completed all the U-Verse training. I have learned many of the parts of AT&T involved in delivering UVerse, how all the parts work together and many of the processes for resolving trouble in the field in a timely manner.

Office Manager, Dimension ImagingTyler, Texas 2007-2014

I was employed as the office manager by Dimension Imaging, because it is a small business I was involved in all aspects of the company. I did much of the IT/Network troubleshooting, updating of customer’s software, manage payroll and represented the company to current and potential customers.

Water Safety Instructor, Tyler Junior CollegeTyler, Texas 2008-2013

I was employed as a Water Safety Instructor by Tyler Junior College to teach swimming courses for the college. I was an instructor the entire time I was attending Tyler Junior College which meant they pay my tuition.I learned to take charge of a group, passed my knowledge of swimming to others, created lesson plans and followed the lesson plans to completion.

SAE Mini Baja Project, LeTourneau UniversitySenior Design- Capstone Project 2012 - 2013

The SAE Mini Baja competition is an international, collegiate competition that requires students to design, build, and race off-road vehicles. SAE gives specific guidelines that each team must follow in order to compete. This Project involved designing, fabricating, and prototype testing. I was the Sub-team lead for the vehicles braking and cockpit. Which was tasked with designing and fabricating the braking system and the cars cockpit used in the Baja car. My focuses was safety first the comfort of the driver.

Human Power Vehicle, LeTourneau University Machine Design Fall 2013

Design and fabrication of a human power vehicle, which included calculating the forces acting in each member and other components to determiner both the components that would fail first and the top speed of the vehicle. The project was verified experimentally which included a class competition.

Calibration of J-Type Thermocouple, LeTourneau UniversityExperimental Method Fall 2013

Developed LabVIEW programs that collected data from a J-type thermocouple, in a cold-junction compensation configuration. The data allowed the development of a calibration for that wire that increased the accuracy of the readings. This process and program was then given as a presentation before the class.

Rocket Max Height Prediction Test, LeTourneau UniversityExperiment Design Spring 2013

Five member team tasked with calculating the expected height a rocket will travel based on the weight of the rocket and the amount of thrust produced by a solid state rocket engine. This project involved testing different rocket engine thrusts, wind tunnel tests, and building the model rocket and launching it with a GPS to

validate the calculated expected height.

Natural Frequency Spring Assessment, LeTourneau University Experiment Design Spring 2013

Part of a three person team project, involved in designing and building a testing system and device to find the natural frequency of different springs with different

amount of weight attached to them.

LabVIEW Programming NXT Robot, LeTourneau UniversityFundamentals of engineering Spring 2013

Mechanical designer for a three person team that created a remote controlled vehicle. The vehicle was directed by the use of slider bars within a LabVIEW program on a laptop computer. The device was controlled using a LabVIEW program running on a Lego MINDSTORMS NXT.
