I am experienced in 3d modeling, 2d drafting, working with sheet metal, FEA and other structural simulations (Mechanica, Nastran, Autodesk Inventor, and RISA), machine shop prints, structured text PLC programming, roll form tooling, and land surveying (both gps and total station). I am directly involved in the selection of project items (such as prime mover methods).
