Professional Organizations American Electroplaters and Surface Finishers Society (AESF) American Society of Materials (ASM) Selected Project Experience Senior process consultant for design and specifications of a new Paint Line for CP Tech, Division of Technimeca International Corp., an aerospace component manufacturer, in Montreal, Quebec. The Paint Line consisted of a work staging area, primer and topcoat paint booths, two flash off areas, three cure ovens, and paint kitchen support equipment. The client deliverable included a performance based specification which included production parameters, including varying process times and sequences for present and future conditions. The specification provided a base design for a conveyorized transport system for semi-automatic operation and outlined options to attain higher level of automation including indexing, automatic switching, and power and free modes of operation. A proposed layout drawing and process description was provided for the new system which is designed to increase production volume by 5-10 times. Senior consultant for ITI for implementation of TrueChem software for laboratory sampling and analysis and process improvement for the metal finishing shop at Hill AFB, Ogden, UT. The TrueChem software provides: schedule management for sampling, analysis, maintenance activities, and corrective actions; automatic result computation, statistical analyses and trending; rule and notification capability (based on specific results or statistical trends); notes and documentation links; chemical inventory management; and dashboard graphical status overview. A software implementation plan was developed, a TrueChem database was populated with Hill AFB process tank and chemistry information, a SQL version of the software was installed on the Hill AFB network and software training was provided, a follow-up training and support trip was completed and three HTML-based status dashboards were developed and deployed to provide broad based, graphic overview and detail result parameter and schedule status. Senior process consultant for design of Advanced Metal Finishing Facility (AMFF) for

3 Robins AFB in Warner Robins, Georgia. As part of an integrated team he participated in the design of a captive metal finishing shop for the maintenance and overhaul of aircraft components. Activities included process design, process equipment design, dry process design, wastewater treatment design, and ventilation design of new metal finishing shop for Robins AFB. Current processes were evaluated and additional processes were specified to expand the metal finishing capability of the shop. At the same time, the design updated processing techniques and is designed to minimize exposure to hazardous materials and minimize environmental impacts from operation of the shop. Senior process consultant for Electroplating Facility Commissioning for USAF Egyptian Depot Program Air Force. Activities included process control laboratory commissioning, process commissioning and process optimization for a captive metal finishing shop for the overhaul of aircraft components. As part of an integrated team that brought this new facility online the project included the set up, evaluation of the process control and physical testing laboratory, the optimization and verification of each process line in the plating shop, support to the waste treatment commissioning team and training in all aspects of the facility operation for facility personnel. Both wet chemical and physical testing laboratory procedures were established to control the metal finishing processes. The test procedures were used to evaluate process sample parts verifying process performance to various US government specifications. Each processing step for a wide variety of plating processes and surface treatments was evaluated and optimized. Improvements were designed and implemented where necessary to the process equipment, the chemistries, or the processing procedures to establish process performance to the applicable specification. Process test loads were designed and processed to demonstrate performance to the specification. Laboratory tests were run on the process samples, data was evaluated, and regular testing schedules were established to demonstrate continued performance to the specifications. Impacts to the waste treatment system were evaluated and communicated to waste treatment commissioning team and assistance was provided on treatability waste loading and wastewater sampling. Facility personnel were trained in all aspects of the facility operation. Senior process consultant for Tobyhanna Army Depot, Tobyhanna PA.
