I recently graduated from Southern Illinois University with a
Bachelors in Mechanical Engineering and am looking for employment.
I bring more than a decade of problem solving skills from a diversity of environments, from combat to racing. I am familiar with machining practices and product development for manufacturing. Though I would not call myself a machinist, I've work experience in manual and CNC machining and have a mill and lathe at home which I use on a regular basis. I'm fluent in Solidworks, and familiar with AutoDesk, and PTC Creo. I am eager to apply what I know in new places and learn new skills in the process. I'm currently taking CNC programming classes at the local community college, for instance.
Beyond the mechanical, I have an informal education in electronics and computers. I run Linux as my primary operating system, and made extensive use of Python in my education, and some wiring/C in programming Arduinos. I'm capable with a soldering iron and built wiring harnesses for several cars.
I want to work in a job which allows me to work with my hands and exercise my brain. I want to be in an environment where I can continue learning, growing, and iterating. Eventually I would like to continue my formal education, and am hoping to one day have a PhD in Engineering, probably with something involving additive manufacturing.
My dream job is working in a rapid manufacturing or prototyping environment capable of additive manufacturing in many materials and fully equipped with manual and CNC machine tools.
I have a few unusual ways to showcase my work, which I feel you will find interesting:
While at SIU my senior design project was the world's first open source DLP 3d printer. I did all of the mechanical design, machining, assembly, and calibration of the prototype.
Here's the project's GitHub page: Project PAM by ProjectPAM
In my spare time I maintain some other open source hardware projects on my own.
This is a quick change tool post for my lathe at home: https://github.com/librematter/qctp
This is an air filter plate for my project car: https://github.com/librematter/PX600FilterPlate
I've also recently started a Shapeways store for some designs I've done of velocity stacks for my project car. I designed these in a parameterized fashion to easily test different intake runner lengths on my engine. They are intended to maximize additive manufacturing in ways which would be difficult with traditional manufacturing methods, such as minizing material usage and having ribbing under the turn of the bellmouth.

Thank you for your time.
