Summary
It has been my goal to improve functionality, cost effectiveness, and simplicity of equipment used in the die casting process.
I have a lot of experience with identifying issues, and addressing concerns of safety for operators.
Specifically for the field of die cast I have experience creating information for how to run parts, and maintain setting changes.
I am very open to learning about machinery, and the proper way to do the task at hand.
