Work shaped by what production required.

Production Manager

Designfusion Inc.

The title is recent, but the responsibility developed over the preceding three years. I control production priorities and scheduling, staffing and shift planning, training, quality acceptance, maintenance and downtime, materials and inventory, and customer recovery or delivery commitments. Equipment and software purchases are recommended based on operating needs and approved by senior management.

The operation produces more than 50,000 parts in a typical year under my control across multiple additive technologies. My responsibility is to put production plans in place, make sure they are followed, respond when conditions change, and improve the system when recurring problems expose a weakness.

Applications Specialist

Designfusion Inc.

I began with customer applications and quickly took on equipment troubleshooting and upkeep. Approximately six months into the role, I began handling nesting and end-to-end production work. About one year in, I received HP MJF field-service training and began supporting installations and on-site equipment recovery.

The role included application evaluation, DFAM, slicing, printing, washing, sintering, troubleshooting, customer training, and installation for Markforged Metal X, along with experience across HP MJF, Markforged CFR, Formlabs resin and SLS, and Bambu FDM.

Student Researcher

ARIES Lab, Centennial College

At ARIES, I contributed to an aerospace-related DMLS research project using Altair Inspire. The work included technical documentation, topology-optimization support, checking FEA results against calculations, validation planning, and fixture or jig support.

This introduced me to how software, engineering analysis, physical validation, and metal additive manufacturing come together in advanced applications.
