PROJECTS & PROVEN WORK

Selected Work

A selection of engineering, manufacturing and practical systems work developed and delivered across different projects.

Custom Welding Fixtures for Multi-Configuration Production

Four custom welding fixtures turned a demanding, multi-configuration aluminum fabrication process into a repeatable production sequence. Purpose-built locating, clamping and controlled rotation reduced dependence on manual fit-up while making welding, alignment and unloading more practical for operators.

Shop Scheduler — Practical Production Planning

A full schedule does not always mean a shop is using its capacity well. Shop Scheduler brings jobs, machine loading, shifts and delivery commitments into a practical planning view. Developed independently and refined in a working manufacturing operation, it helps turn production information into decisions.
