  • AutoCAD Expert - computer aided design and drafting plus computer programming skills. While working as an electrical designer with a large automotive supplier Tim and his team were tasked with creating electrical designs and drawings for (2) auto body robot assisted assembly lines. This took 3 months and 1000's of man-hours to complete. When finished the customer (Chrysler Corp.) tasked Tim and his team to duplicate all drawings for a different plant, and get it done in a week.

    An estimated 40,000+ edits would be needed to accomplish this task, AND there had to be no mistakes. Tim's solution was an automated computer program that identified all the changes, did all the edits and made prints. The drawing package of 1300 drawings was duplicated, corrected, edited, printed, checked and presented to the customer in 7 days.

    Tim hand coded a program from scratch that opened each drawing, inspected it for errors, edited the changes, made a print, closed the drawing, and proceeded to the next drawing. It took Tim 1 day of coding and 2 days of running the program operation to complete. Estimated over 40,000 edits occurred with 99.99% accuracy. Problem solving and excellent computer programming skills.

My apps were all PC developed. so they couldn't be p[ublished on The Apple App Sore anymore.
