I am a specialized Rotary Applications Engineer at Preco LLC, focusing on die cutting equipment development, especially the Rotary Converting Platform. My versatile role involves providing crucial technical support, designing both standard and custom rotary machinery, creating detailed 2D/3D diagrams, and optimizing machinery performance. I excel in analyzing customer engineering specifications and offering innovative solutions while maintaining thorough documentation. I collaborate closely with the mechanical engineering team to draft machine drawings. Holding a Master's in Mechanical Engineering and expertise in additive manufacturing, I bring skills in solid modeling and product design. My research-driven mindset, self-motivation, leadership, and hands-on machining experience in milling, lathes, drilling, and welding operations make me a valuable asset at Preco LLC, adept at solving diverse engineering challenges.
