    The MSIE program was heavily focused on data analysis and statistics. Courses taken include probability and statistics for engineers, operations research, introduction to manufacturing systems, database design, and engineering management. I additionally focused on product design and innovation courses, which align with my interests at the intersection between products and customers.

    Activities and Societies: Co-Op Visteon Corporation, Dearborn, MI: Engineering rotational program with exposure to manufacturing, product engineering, and advanced R&D (3 Semesters)

    The BSME program built a solid foundation in technical and engineering skill-sets. Required courses included statics, dynamics, strengths of materials, thermodynamics, vibrations of mechanical systems, instrumentation, measurement and statistics, design methodology, fluid flow, heat transfer, and modeling of dynamic systems. While an undergrad at Penn State, I took an engineering co-operative internship at Visteon Corporation, which lasted three semesters of approximately 12 weeks each at the…

While an undergrad at Penn State, I took an engineering co-operative internship at Visteon Corporation, which lasted three semesters of approximately 12 weeks each at the company's location in Dearborn, MI. The co-op exposed me to product development, manufacturing, and advanced product design functions within an organization.

Projects

  • Fast Track Valve Service

    - Present

    Developed and led a project to offer fast track valves (custom valves in 6-10 weeks). I recognized an opportunity to meet a customer need for special valves in short lead times, and I performed a detailed market analysis/feasibility study that indicated a large, unmet demand. I formulated a strategy that was approved by senior management and CEO. I was project manager for the project team consisting of senior management in various functional areas. The project is on track for completion in…

I formulated a strategy that was approved by senior management and CEO. I was project manager for the project team consisting of senior management in various functional areas. The project is on track for completion in early April, 2016.

  • Valve Project Database and Analytics Implementation

    - Present

    Designed and implemented a database to analyze customer quotations focusing on KPIs such as hit rates, quotation-to-order conversion, quotation speed, etc. Used skills in programming (visual basic) and analytics (statistical analysis) to create a database and analyze trends. By implementing key findings, hit rates improved substantially boosting efficiency and revenue.

  • Eco-Seal Low Emission Packing Implementation

    -

    Led a project with the goal of changing the valve design of our forged steel valve line to low emissions. Recognizing changes in the industry to lower valve packing emissions, Bonney Forge set out to be the industry leader in the low emissions valve technology for small bore valves. I was appointed as the project manager to define, coordinate, and integrate all aspects of the project including purchasing (negotiations and logistics), engineering (testing and qualifications), production, pricing…

I was appointed as the project manager to define, coordinate, and integrate all aspects of the project including purchasing (negotiations and logistics), engineering (testing and qualifications), production, pricing and marketing, warranty, etc. There were many hurdles that had to be overcome due to new supplier relations and changing industry standards, but the team collectively implemented the low emissions design change years in advance of the competition.

  • Packing Stud Design Change & Flow-Induced Vibration Design Change

    -

    Led multi-site project to develop and implement design change to mitigate the risk of valve failure due to Stress Corrosion Cracking (SCC) and to eliminate the risk of personnel injury; led design upgrade of valve to prevent flow-induced vibration damage.

    “Matt is an absolutely incredible teacher! In the age of $15 courses that teach nothing more than can already be found with Google (and the meaningless certificates that come with completion), Matt's courses stand out from the rest. I found Business Science University when I was working alone and at a loss for whom to learn from. I had no mentorship or code reviews and knew that I was progressing far slower than I wanted. When I found Matt's Learning Labs, my interest was piqued. It was immediately apparent that his teaching style and depth of knowledge were what I needed. Although I had already been using R for seven years prior to finding his courses, I still found his 101 and 102 courses to be incredibly helpful to my level of efficiency. I now own all of Matt's courses and have never regretted spending the money on them. I recommend Matt to anyone who is looking to get started, grow, or learn something new in R and Python. His courses are worth every penny, and I always make sure to buy each new course as soon as it comes out. I would be remiss if I didn't also mention what Matt is like as a person. When you buy his courses, you also get access to the Business Science Slack. Matt is incredibly involved with each student in his Slack (> 1,800 students at the time of this review), and the culture that he has fostered enables many of his students to help each other out and mentor as well. Not only that, but Matt has always gone above and beyond any time I have had questions and has given me quite a bit of career advice as well. Do yourself a favor, go get one of Matt's courses. You will not regret it.”

    “Through Matt's online courses DS4B 101-R BUSINESS ANALYSIS WITH R and DS4B 201-R DATA SCIENCE WITH BUSINESS, I have taken my R (tidyverse) modelling and data science skills to a new level. Matt is a really amazing teacher and his courses offer great value for money (and time). I have learned so much in a short space of time.”
