Equipment used included, APOLLO, HP Unix, and Microsoft PC workstations. I also utilized MS office software in the running of the business and for financial record keeping. The original mission of the company was to provide supportive lofting services to 2nd tier shipyards throughout the USA. By 2000, I had completed projects with over 50 shipyards on the East and West coasts, the Gulf coast and the Great Lakes. In addition, the company had completed military, municipal, experimental and commercial vessels. We worked on catamarans, slice, tuna boats, tugs, car and passenger ferries, gunboats, yachts, fishing boats and barges. Completed over 80 hulls from 18’ to 700’ of steel, aluminum and composite materials. I worked with the yards to develop a build strategy to best suit their capabilities and suggested many design improvements to improve production.

Position: CAD/CAM Manager
Duties: I managed the CAD/CAM Service Group, which performs all naval architectural calculations, structural analysis, 3D database loading of marine structure, part generation, bill of materials, area weight and center of gravity calculations, preparation of N/C files and production aids. We produce both design and assembly/zone drawing for engineering a production. Software used is AUTOKON, 3D marine design and SHCP (Ship hull characteristics program). I have performed sub-contract work for AUTOKON Data, Jensen Maritime, and Todd Shipyard – L.A. with the AUTOKON system.

My group aided and maintained both SPADES and CADAM databases for all departments, maintained and operated all (engineering computer services) hardware (computers, communications, terminals, plotters, etc.) and provided training and assistance to SPADES, CADAM, and other software programs. As part of our R and D effort to purchase a new CAD/CAM system I trained on a number of systems and ran production work on each to truly evaluate their capabilities. In addition I was a SPADES steering committee member, CADAM user representative, and the SPC JJ technical agent. I represented the J.J.
