Work History
Irrigation Design
Manley Irrigation
Houston, TX
06.2025 - Current
- Assisted in the design of irrigation systems using Pro Contractor Studio (RainCAD)
- Performed hydraulic calculations, pipe sizing, and layout design to ensure adequate pressure and flow
- Selected applicable system components including sprinkler heads, rain sensors, and control equipment
- Created densograms to verify coverage uniformity and system effectiveness
- Applied engineering principles to balance system performance, reliability, and cost
Process Improvement Capstone Projects (DMAIC)
Bay Builders Of Bonita Springs
Bonita Springs, FL
01.2024 - 05.2024
- Led two DMAIC-based process improvement projects focused on increasing process value efficiency (PVE) and reducing process lead time.
- Conducted time studies and value stream mapping using Microsoft Visio to analyze workflow, cycle times, and non-value-added activities.
- Utilized JMP statistical software to perform data analysis including regression analysis, correlation analysis, and process capability studies.
- Completed Measurement System Analysis (Gage R&R) to evaluate measurement system variation, confirming acceptable measurement reliability with 11.44% GR&R.
- Performed process capability analysis (Cp = 2.44, Cpk = 1.45) to determine whether the process met performance requirements.
- Applied Lean Six Sigma tools including Ishikawa diagrams, Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA), and solution selection matrices to identify and prioritize root causes of process delays.
- Developed improvement recommendations that increased process value efficiency from 34.13% to 41.59%.
- Achieved a 27.28% reduction in process lead time (104.93 hours → ~76 hours), exceeding the project target of a 25% reduction.
- Improvement recommendations indicated the potential for the organization to increase operational capacity by up to three additional projects per week.
