Leadership Experience
- Cutlines Project, 01/01/24 - 02/02/2024 - Assessed connector and backshell combinations to determine cutline for wire, so the connector will align properly with the aircraft once it is received by the customer, led with a team of 7 and coordinated with upper management as well as the operators on the floor to capture these measurements, and attended meetings with upper management for status acting as the representative for the team and the project.
- VFAST LED Board Project, 10/01/23 - Present - Digitized drawings on the floor by transferring drawing enhancements to LED boards to improve efficiencies and bypass the pre-planning phase for operators on the floor, selected the scope for all work cells that would be applicable for this enhancement, evaluated enhanced drawings on the LED board to assess for any issues that need to be addressed before launching to operators, communicated engineering requirements to enhancement team in order to create drawings properly, and submitted requests for fully validated harnesses to be released on web for use of the operators in the plant.
