SUMMARY:

The core of my career has been spent developing custom software by extending CAD applications and has varied from simple data extraction to complex three dimensional geometric manipulations and optimizing for manufacturability. I have worked with application APIs utilizing C++, C#, VB.NET, VBA, LISP and Java. My projects have ranged in scope from small, specifically - targeted applications to large, integrated application suites. These tasks have required mastering the APIs of several Industry Standard applications.

TECHNICAL SKILLS:

Languages: C#, C++, VB.NET, ASPX.NET, VBA, XML, HTML/CSS, JavaScript, ActiveX, COM, LISP, AutoCAD ARX, AutoCAD AutoLISP.

Software Engineer

Confidential

Responsibilities:

• Optimized the manufacturing process from receipt of data from customers to the sequence of milling machine operations.
• Developed AutoCAD extensions to automatically convert 2D drawings into 3D drawings based on the layer-naming scheme utilizing extrusion, sweep, and Boolean actions to create the proper profiles.
• Created optimal 3D chamfering paths on the back of a plate, while maintaining minimal floor depths (and preventing gouges in) varying depth pockets on the front of the plate while adhering to additional rules to optimize the final design.
• Further optimized the relationship between AutoCAD and Mastercam, harnessing the best features of each to automate final CNC outputs from incoming AutoCAD drawings.
• Developed website using ASPX and Linq/SQL to ensure core functionality prior to skinning and posting.
