This is the most recent edition of my resume. I am currently seeking employment in the greater Philadelphia area. I have recently taken the EIT exam, and intend to work toward recieving my PE license. I have experience working with several drafting packages, and have used Pro/E, AutoCAD, and Cadkey to produce manufacturing drawings for several assembled products. I have produced mechanical and thermo/fluid designs for several products, and have provided consultation in the area of thermal transport in viscous fluids. I have manufactured many mechanical devices including parts for an off-road vehicle using Bridgeport mills and lathes, and general machine shop tools. I have also designed manufacturing processes for several "difficult to machine" parts. My strongest abilities are intuitive conceptualization and realization of mechanical and thermal systems, and mathematical modeling using computer simulations. The optimal position for me would include theoretical development of thermal, mechanical, and/or fluid solutions followed by verification in the lab, and final product/solution design. If you are interested in talking about what I may be able to offer your company please email or call.

Objective

Mechanical Engineer: A challenging position in a manufacturing or engineering workplace that will involve the design, testing, and improvement of mechanical, thermodynamic and/or fluid dynamic solutions - theoretical and "hands on". Must include ample opportunities for professional and academic growth.
