Business Analyst at EDL Consulting
Fort Pierce, Florida Area
I have been involved in enterprise software and engineering automation for over 10 years. I am highly self-motivated and work well in teams (virtual or on-site). In the past I have held several technical and leadership positions. I have been an application developer and have lead teams of developers.
My previous experience includes experience with developing and implementing enterprise software and engineering automation projects. These solutions have been beneficial to large corporations such as EDS, Pratt & Whitney, and Computer Sciences Corporation. The projects I worked on with Pratt & Whitney were featured in articles with Mechanical Design magazine and the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics Journal. My work has been submitted for a patent with the US government.
I have also helped international customers such as Embraer Aircraft in Brazil and the Politecnico di Milano in Milan, Italy. I wrote an article for Industrial Equipment News. My B.S. is in Mechanical Engineering from Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology.
