Drafting & Prints

I draft and maintain drawing packages that turn CAD models into shop-ready documentation. My work includes manufacturing, inspection, assembly, braze, and machining prints, with experience documenting precision tooling and accelerator structures using ASME Y14.5 GD&T standards

Designing, fabricating, and documenting tooling for particle accelerator structures, including SOL linear accelerator builds, TPV tooling, RF component fixtures, and test equipment for government and research customers

  • Developed and redesigned the assembly process for 2 meter long Speed of Light linear accelerator structures, scaling production from one structure to four structures at a time
  • Designed brazing, welding, leak-checking, lifting, shipping, cleaning, and transport tooling to support accelerator structure manufacturing
  • Assembled and vacuum brazed four SOL structures using custom tooling and revised the tooling process to support future production builds
  • Repurposed SOL tooling for a 0.75 m TPV linear accelerator structure by creating new strongback designs for TPV-specific geometry, alignment, and handling
  • Designed a switch test bed to simulate cup and slug alignment for frequency changes from 6 MHz to 12 MHz
  • Converted preliminary SLAC designs into representative models and documentation for a C-Band compact portable linac project
  • Drafted prints for assembly, inspection, brazing, and machining while documenting tooling fabrication, build, rotation cart, and assembly procedures
