As an Optics Manufacturing Engineer, I helped to reengineer and co-authored a patent that saved 2.0 - 2.5 million dollars daily that increased the power throughput of the optical attenuation device during the manufacturing process at Corning Cable Systems. As a Quality Engineer, I utilized Failure Mode Analysis to discover and implemented improved system flow-through resulting in improved quality and cost savings by approximately 10% annually. As a System Safety Engineer, I produced the first contractual deliverable artifact to our customer despite the time constraint and the complexity of the System (Unmanned Ground Vehicle with a High Voltage Power System). Over 10 years of demonstrated expertise in strategic planning, organizational development, team building, and staff enhancements. Over 10 years of demonstrated expertise in defining contractual requirements for embedded control systems for complex systems (Mission and Safety Critical)
