About Me
Engineering Excellence:
With a deep-rooted passion for mechanical engineering. This journey of technical exploration has equipped me with a formidable skill set. I've focused on the intricate world of GD&T, utilizing its principles to ensure precision and accuracy in design and manufacturing. SolidWorks and CAD have become my digital canvas, where I bring complex ideas to life with meticulous attention to detail. To validate the structural integrity of my designs, I've harnessed the power of Ansys and FEA, leveraging simulation to push the boundaries of innovation.
In the realm of programming, MATLAB has been my trusted companion, enabling me to analyze data, develop algorithms, and solve complex engineering problems with efficiency and precision. These technical skills have been instrumental in my ability to tackle challenges with a fresh perspective, consistently pushing the envelope of conventional thinking.
Crafting Custom Solutions:
As a custom project builder, I've honed my craft in transforming ideas into tangible realities. From commercial and residential carpentry to steel framing and site supervision, I've brought diverse projects to fruition. Whether it's framing and remodeling, furniture design and production, or wielding an arc or MIG welder for steel and aluminum, I approach each task with a commitment to precision and innovation. My ability to troubleshoot, whether it's as a handyman, light-duty electrician/plumber, or an appliance and engine maintenance specialist, underscores my versatility and problem-solving prowess.
Restaurant Leadership:
My journey has also led me to the dynamic world of restaurant management. As a dedicated General Manager and Operator, I've navigated the complexities of leading teams, managing schedules, budgets, payroll, and ensuring the seamless operation of restaurants generating annual sales of up to $3.25 million with an EBITA of up to 32%. In this role, I honed my skills in business problem-solving, leadership, team development, staffing, and sales reporting, all while maintaining meticulous records and driving profitability. My ability to liaise effectively with customers, employees, vendors, licensing authorities, and sales representatives has been instrumental in fostering a positive business environment.
Educational Pursuits:
Complementing my practical experience, I've pursued higher education with a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Texas at Arlington, where I'm on track to graduate in December 2023 with a commendable 3.41 GPA. My dedication to academic excellence has earned me membership in the Pi Tau Sigma Honors Society and a role as the ASME Networking Chair Officer. Prior to this, I earned an Associates of Science from Tarrant County College in May 2021, where I maintained a stellar 3.54 GPA and was recognized in the Phi Theta Kappa Honors Society.
Passion for Drumming:
Beyond the world of engineering and construction, my heart beats to the rhythm of drumming. This passion exemplifies my commitment to creativity. I don't merely play the drums; I infuse my music with a unique blend of rhythm and innovation, consistently pushing the boundaries of what's possible within the drumming realm. This artistic pursuit underscores my ability to think outside the box and infuse creativity into every project I undertake.
Bringing Innovation to Your Projects:
When you choose to engage my skills and experience for your next project, you're not just acquiring technical proficiency. You're tapping into the ingenuity of a creative thinker who thrives on innovation. My multidisciplinary approach ensures that I can bring fresh perspectives and inventive solutions to the table, making me an invaluable asset for any endeavor.
Whether it's in the realm of mechanical engineering, constructive creations, or any creative endeavor, my diverse skill set and unwavering commitment to excellence will add significant value to your project. Together, we'll embark on a collaborative journey that ensures your project benefits from a unique blend of expertise and innovation, setting it apart from the ordinary.
Embark on a journey through the diverse facets of my life, where innovation, creativity, and a relentless pursuit of excellence have been the driving forces.
