With 15+ years in high-precision CNC machining and manufacturing engineering (primarily aerospace), I specialize in helping machine shops reduce cycle times, extend tool life, improve setups, and eliminate production bottlenecks through targeted, async consulting. Key services: CAM/toolpath optimization (adaptive strategies, roughing/finishing efficiency, G-code refinement) Custom fixture and workholding design (repeatable, minimal-setup solutions for complex parts) Manufacturability & setup reviews (DFM feedback on prints, processes, tolerances to prevent costly rework) Background includes progressing from operator to night-shift lead, CNC programmer, manufacturing engineer (fixture design, process proving), and now applications engineer focused on floor optimization. I've programmed and optimized for manual lathes, conversational CNC, 3-5 axis mills, and tight-tolerance aerospace components (aluminum, titanium, Inconel). I deliver async-only: clear scopes, one revision included, ITAR-aware, and strict intake boundaries to respect your time and mine. No open-ended freelancing—defined deliverables for overflow or specialized jobs. Currently a full-time applications engineer; side consulting via DSE Applied Engineering LLC (Minnesota-based). Open to select, high-value projects that leverage my hands-on production experience. Let's solve your machining challenges efficiently—message me or use my intake form.
