Technical Instructor (Industrial Automation and Systems Logic)
- Instructed advanced program logic and Python programming for automation-focused use cases.
- Developed information management curriculum aligned with PLM/ERP hierarchy and configuration control.
- Mentored engineering capstone projects with emphasis on technical documentation and build sequencing.
- Converted high-level engineering concepts into practical, executable workflows for learners.
This role combines technical teaching and industrial systems thinking in a way that is directly transferable to real workplaces. I design learning paths that move from concepts to implementation, helping learners build dependable automation routines, clearer engineering logic, and stronger decision-making habits for production-grade environments.
Intermediate Methods and Mechanical Engineer
- Developed Engineering Masters (EM) and Work Instructions (WI) for production and assembly execution.
- Led root-cause analysis on non-conformances and implemented corrective actions to improve throughput.
- Managed MBOM and material equipment lists under strict technical and configuration standards.
- Performed technical feasibility and make-vs-buy analysis for design change decisions.
- Coordinated with production, quality, and procurement for implementation readiness.
I served as an Intermediate Methods and Mechanical Engineer overseeing the manufacturing and assembly of large-scale dust collector systems, primarily designed for steel plant environments. In this role, I worked closely with design, production, and shop-floor teams to translate engineering requirements into practical manufacturing steps, ensuring that each system met performance, reliability, and safety expectations. I supported the full build process from fabrication through final assembly, verifying that components were produced to specification and that installation and integration could be carried out efficiently on site.
In addition to large systems, I contributed to three dedicated production lines focused on high-volume manufacturing of smaller dust collection machines for workshops and lighter industrial settings. I helped optimize these lines for repeatable quality and throughput, refining assembly sequences, coordinating with technicians, and resolving day-to-day technical issues that affected production flow. This combination of work on both large custom systems and standardized smaller units gave me a broad view of methods engineering, from process planning and tooling considerations to continuous improvement on the shop floor.
Mechanical and Manufacturing Design Engineer
- Designed 3D models and 2D blueprints for structural sub-assemblies using CATIA V5 and SolidWorks.
- Optimized assembly build sequencing through simulation; improved performance efficiency by 15%.
- Prepared visual planning and assembly manuals for shop-floor implementation.
- Authored engineering change requests to refine tooling and manufacturing methods.
As Mechanical and Manufacturing Design Engineer, I established the company's first Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation capability, filling a critical gap in their engineering design division that previously lacked advanced analysis tools for dust collection systems. I founded and led this new division, developing comprehensive 3D models, detailed blueprints, technical drawings, and manufacturing documentation to support both custom large-scale systems and high-volume production lines. This foundational work enabled precise design validation and streamlined the transition from concept to production-ready components.
I conducted extensive structural, mechanical, and functional analyses to ensure system performance, reliability, and safety under real-world operating conditions, particularly for steel plant dust collectors and smaller workshop units. By integrating CFD simulations with CAD modeling in tools like CATIA V5 and SolidWorks, I identified and resolved design bottlenecks early, optimizing airflow efficiency, structural integrity, and assembly feasibility. My technical reports and analysis results became the engineering backbone for manufacturing procedures, significantly reducing production risks and improving overall system functionality across all product lines.
Technical Lead and University Lecturer
- Delivered instruction in mechanical engineering and computer science.
- Led mentorship programs for junior engineers and co-op students.
- Directed research on fluid-rigid-elastic structure interaction and vibration integrity challenges.
- Bridged academic research and practical engineering application across teams.
As Technical Lead and University Lecturer at IUT from 2012 to 2018, I delivered advanced instruction in Mechanical Engineering and Computer Science, with a focus on computational fluid dynamics (CFD), structural analysis, programming, and manufacturing processes. I spearheaded research projects on complex topics like Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI), mentoring junior engineers and students while bridging theoretical concepts with practical applications in mechanical design and production systems. My leadership ensured rigorous academic standards and hands-on training that prepared teams for real-world engineering challenges.
I published numerous articles and technical reports across diverse fields including CFD, education methodologies, mechanical design, programming techniques, manufacturing optimization, and production workflows. These publications established me as a thought leader, contributing actionable insights that advanced industry practices and academic discourse. Through cross-departmental collaboration and knowledge transfer initiatives, I fostered innovation that directly influenced engineering curricula and professional development programs at the institution.
Industrial Software Developer
- Developed industrial software for mechanical design and simulation workflow automation.
- Applied systems logic and QA protocols to ensure software reliability in production use.
- Adapted solution behavior to evolving project and manufacturing requirements.
This role laid the software-engineering foundation for automation across mission-critical industrial and engineering environments, where reliability, traceability, and system uptime were non‑negotiable. I designed, implemented, and maintained custom applications for automation, control, engineering assistance, and shop-floor support, helping streamline processes and procedures across multiple divisions, including MBOM management, design, production, delivery, and post‑delivery support. By embedding practical QA discipline, version control, and systematic validation into each solution, I strengthened workflow stability and ensured that every deployed tool could be trusted on the production floor.
Working closely with mechanical engineers, production teams, and technical managers, I translated complex engineering requirements into robust software architectures that could evolve with changing manufacturing and project constraints. I continuously adapted and extended system functionality to align with new technical specifications, regulatory needs, and shop‑floor feedback, creating an adaptable solution ecosystem rather than one‑off tools. This combination of industrial domain knowledge, systems logic, and disciplined software engineering significantly elevated automation capability, reduced manual intervention, and improved the consistency of engineering and production workflows
