When production falls behind schedule or a difficult part lands on your desk, you don't need another CAM operator—you need someone who understands manufacturing. I'm a Senior CNC Programmer and Master Machinist with over 40 years of hands-on manufacturing experience, specializing in turning challenging CAD models into proven, production-ready CNC programs. Whether your project involves a prototype, a complex 5-axis component, a mill-turn part, or an urgent overflow job, my objective is simple: Deliver code your machinists can run with confidence. I specialize in: • Mastercam programming for 3-axis, 4-axis, 5-axis, CNC lathes, and mill-turn/multitasking machines • Prototype and low-volume manufacturing • Fixture and workholding design • Process optimization and cycle-time reduction • CNC troubleshooting and manufacturing problem solving • Code review and process improvement • Remote programming and engineering collaboration My experience spans aerospace, semiconductor, defense, oil & gas, and advanced research, machining everything from aluminum and engineering plastics to Inconel, Hastelloy, stainless steels, ceramics, and other difficult materials. I can work as an extension of your engineering team, providing secure remote CNC programming support or, when appropriate, collaborating directly with your machinists on the shop floor to solve manufacturing problems and keep production moving. Unlike many CAM programmers, I've spent decades as both a machinist and programmer. I understand setup, tooling, inspection, machine limitations, and production realities. I don't simply generate toolpaths—I develop machining strategies that work in the real world. Whether you need: • A single prototype programmed • Overflow programming support • Mill-turn programming • Fixture recommendations • Program optimization • Manufacturing troubleshooting • Process improvement I'm ready to help. If you're looking for someone who communicates clearly, meets commitments, and treats your manufacturing problem like it's my own, I'd welcome the opportunity to discuss your project.
