PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
HOME AUTOMATION AND HOME SECURITY PROTOTYPE
Automation Project | November 2016 April 2017

Initiated project details and schematics.

Designed wiring and necessary parts to restrain for moving parts.
Constructed Solidworks design to create multiple parts to assembling with appropriate
and advanced mating process.
Programmed prototyping micro Controller board (Arduino) for testing and coding.
3D Printed parts for the quality and strength of the part to reduce the part cost and
construct strength from sheer force.

3D PRINTING PROCESS
Flash Forge and Flash Print | January 2017 April 2017

Translated existing detailed 3D models into models optimized for 3D printing.

Understood manufacturing process and options systems related to 3D printing.
Performed on precision alignments, calibrations, reconfigurations, and recommendations
for improving 3D printing processes for quality.
Conserved updated knowledge regarding new technologies, standards, and
implementation methods.
Troubleshot/debugged at multiple system levels.
Systematic understanding of computer hardware assembly and test methodology.
Understood identical levels of manufacturing and test to provide tier one level supports
for the manufacturing processes.
Monitored best practices for creating 3D models using industry standard modelling
software. Some of the Models were rendered in similar CAD formats and generated a
model ready for 3D printing. Example formats include STL, OBJ, and SketchUp.
