Additive Manufacturing Manager at Rusal America Corporation
Advancing the future of Aluminum Additive Manufacturing through sustainably manufactured novel powder alloys providing differentiated performance for high-strength, elevated-temp, and light-weighting applications.

I have tackled the technical challenges of AM as a process R&D engineer, ensured reliability and repeatability by building novel powder handling lifecycles and critical variable control methodologies as an Operations Manager, and empowered the Digital Thread and Neural Net-based problem solving by devising world-class data collection and management systems.

I have co-authored 5 patents for novel AM processes and feedstock-printer interactions.
