Program and run 3- and 4-axis Fanuc and Haas mills and lathes in Mastercam for aluminum, steel, and stainless lots, holding plus or minus 0.0005 in. on critical bores.
Own first-article inspection packages with calipers, micrometers, and CMM assist, cutting average FAIR turnaround from two shifts to one.
Write setup sheets and tool lists that dropped changeover time about 18 percent and kept scrap under 1.2 percent on repeat jobs.
Lead 5S walks and tooling audits so the next shift starts with labeled offsets, a clean vise, and the current print at the machine.

• Ran repeat fixture and prototype jobs on Haas VF mills and lathes from customer prints, holding GD&T callouts on mating faces for tier suppliers.
• Built and revised Mastercam toolpaths with the programmer, cutting cycle time about 12 percent on a high-volume bracket family.
• Checked in-process parts with micrometers, bore gauges, and height stands, and stopped two lots before they left the cell out of spec.
• Kept offset logs and tool-life notes so second shift could pick up a warm machine without reshooting the first piece.
