Summary

Dynamic Commissioning Engineer with proven expertise at Bastian Solutions in troubleshooting and optimizing equipment functionality. Skilled in electrical wiring and mechanical powertrains, I excel in customer management and innovative problem-solving. Successfully conducted factory acceptance tests, ensuring operational readiness and enhancing system reliability through effective training and support.


In my ten years with Bastian Solutions, I have learned and grown tremendously as an engineer and as a person. Both in technical expertise and as a professional in the work place. I would not be the person I am today without the people I've worked with and the work I've performed here at Bastian. I would like to continue my growth and experience our company through a different avenue with a change to a Project Management role. I know I have a lot to offer and can add great value to the process of delivering a quality robotic automation system to a satisfied customer on time.

2019 Bastian Robotics Employee of the Year

Due to my impact on projects such as Peacock and PLZ Aeroscience in that fiscal year, I was awarded employee of the year. Peacock was, at that time, the largest robotic system we had sold. I spent over 170 days onsite with that system that year, from initial install, commissioning, training, through SAT. PLZ Aeroscience was similar as I was involved and responsible for most of the install, commissioning, and training. A very unique system with custom overhead conveyor and a challenging Intralox layer former application.
