About

With a Master's from San Jose State University, I've honed a deep expertise in electrical systems, currently leading the design and modification of complex engineering assemblies at Applied Materials. My role involves solving intricate electrical problems, coordinating engineering tests, creating complex electrical control systems, ensuring robust safety interlocks, integrating EtherCAT networks and driving key supplier developments. A Six Sigma Green Belt, I excel in improving hardware design, ensuring excellence in product specifications and documentation. My technical skill set is complemented by a collaborative approach, ensuring seamless integration of interdisciplinary engineering solutions into production. My hands-on experience with manufacturing process improvement, coupled with AutoCAD and E3S Electrical and Hardware Design skills, has facilitated the enhancement of electrical product specifications and documentation. My goal is to continue pushing the envelope in electrical engineering, marrying innovation with practicality.
