Adept Machinist with a proven track record at Zimmer Biomet, specializing in precision part production and quality assurance. Excelled in blueprint reading and CNC operation, enhancing team troubleshooting capabilities. Demonstrated a keen ability to improve production processes, significantly contributing to team efficiency and problem-solving.

In 2006 I participated in the transfer of the product of cell 228 from Warsaw Indiana to Zimmer Ponce.

In 2012 I was working for 3 months in Warsaw Indiana on the 230 cell plastic tibia product.

In 2017 I was working in Warsaw Indiana for 6 months in the sports medicine product of Zimmer Biomet West Campus.

In recent years I have worked in the role of group leader on the third shift since there is no supervisor helping my colleagues and mechanic to solve basic problems that do not affect production.

During these 20 years in the company I have knowledge in the following work areas 207, 228, 230, 211, 227, 204, 203 in addition to supporting the packaging area when there was a third shift.
