Professional Summary

Experience working with core organizations, suppliers, and partners while driving activities in PW’s strategic interest leveraging an extensive quality inspection, advanced metrology, and software programming background. Experience includes mentoring employees in metrology and programming. Experience coordinating large software projects interacting with quality, engineering, manufacturing, and core IT groups to create successful robust projects.

Nine patents dealing with Advanced Metrology developments.

Wrote an airfoil analysis program called PWAirfoil. PWAirfoil became P&W’s core airfoil analysis tool for all engine programs.

Enabled advance measurement systems (CMM, Structured light) eliminating the need for part specific tooling.

Wrote automation software programs to support advanced metrology systems

Experience working with international business units, partners & suppliers in advanced metrology measurement processes.

Broad knowledge of high level programming languages: Python, Visual Basic, C, C++, Fortran 77, Fortran 90, GRIP, MS Office Visual Basic Applications (VBA), batch

Broad knowledge of Quality requirements, ANSI standards, layout and inspection, CMM programming

Structured Light Subject Matter Expert, metrology automation software.

Layout inspection, the early years

Worked in a quality department responsible for development (new design) and incoming part over inspection. Measuring any and all part types including bench layout of airfoils. That early experience laid a solid foundation for inspecting aerospace hardware prior to any computerized inspection equipment. Witnessed the introduction of multiple new engine designs.

Coordinate Measurement Machine (CMM)

Started running CMMs in 1980 and programming CMMs in 1984 on DEA machines.

Develop advanced CMM inspection processes in support of test engine programs.

Deployed PWAirfoil airfoil analysis software (programming methods, utilization, and results evaluation) to P&W core CMM programming areas and suppliers.

Develop Master Airfoil Layout Inspector (MALI) training course, trained internal and supplier airfoil inspectors.

Structured Light (GOM)

First system use started in 2004 generating developing standard processes and procedures for the proper use and implimentation. Deployed the technology to suppliers around the world and evaluated the supplier capability for proper use.

Twenty years experience in Python scripting for inspection processes. Developed automation software for automatic scanning and processing of part inspection.

Software applications

Ability to program multiple high level languages such as: Python, Fortran, C, Visual Basic, and Visual Studio.

Many applications develped over the years including an airfoil evaluation package that is still in use today.
