L5 Consulting, Inc.

• Cloud Integration Consultant

  • Mar 2011 - Jun 2013

  I work with companies to devise and implement better ways for technology to increase revenue. The first step is to ensure that a client pays only for the services they need and use, thereby reducing IT expenses. I work with the client to automate more of the daily IT operations, thereby freeing the existing IT staff from the daunting daily task that no one really wants to do. Finally with the help of the client, I will develop a comprehensive Future Technology Plan for the company as a whole.

  • Sep 2006 - Feb 2010

  I read and interpreted mechanical blueprints with close tolerances. I was responsible for setting up equipment to run prototype jobs and production runs. I would also set-up and prove out new programming. I had to maintain close tolerances (within .0001) tolerance. I was also responsible for machine tool accuracies, fixture offsets, and tool offsets. I would also document cutting tool feeds, speeds, and tool life. I mainly worked with Fanuc and Mitsubishi controllers.



Emerson

• 700 & Above Employee

• CNC Programer

  • Jul 1995 - Aug 2006

  I would study blueprints, tweak computer-aided drafting (CAD) software simulators, and calibrate robotic equipment. I would also determine the exact dimensions of the item that is to be produced, and decide the best means of cutting and boring raw materials. I would then enter an extensive series of numerical codes into a computer system that will eventually control the movements of machining equipment. One of my responsibilities was to constantly refer to drawings and CAD programs to ensure codes are entered in the correct sequence. Once I was confident in the program, I would put the machine through a series of test runs to make sure it works correctly. I would note any discrepancies between test products and blueprint specifications, and adjusts the program accordingly. Once a program is perfected, it can be implemented across a number of machines to begin the mass production of the item.
