Activity

This last year, I worked as an undergraduate researcher performing NMR and mass spectroscopy experiments. I also assisting in processing the data.

My most relevant experience is my internship with Hy-Pro Filtration where I both helped filter manufacturing and also wrote up several marketing pages and flyers.

CAD Technician

As a CAD Technician I worked with several versions of Autodesk, a 2D and 3D design computer design platform, to draw in the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing system layouts for large government buildings. In this process I collaborated with several other design teams that created the foundation and other systems for the buildings, which had to be fully integrated to ensure that the physical dimensions of the systems would be suitable for the building when constructed.

One example of work experience I have is a summer internship for Friction Stir Link, Inc. I worked there for two summer as a design intern.  While there, I designed fixtures for protoyping welds, mass production, and custom projects.  I was in charge of designing, modeling, detailing, ordering materials, and contacting machinists for each project.  In addition I had to manage time with other technical workers for assembly and execution.  During my time at FSL I also learned about the friction stir welding process; a relatively young and growing technology.

Served as president of fraternity for 1 year.  As president, I was responsible for all aspects of chapter operations, was the liason between the chapter and the university Interfraternity Council, and was the liason between the chapter and the fraternity national headquarters.

I have completed undergraduate lab work in successful gene cloning and cell culture at Purdue University of RNAi, GSK-3, and P-29.  The research performed was integral in futhering the research of the group concerning metabolism and cancer pathways and causes within the human body and provided background in the areas needed for the job for which I am applying.

My biggest experience was an intern for Caterpillar.  My duties involved inventory management, project management, working with electricians on machinery, assembling large Caterpillar engines, and many presentations using MS Office.
