Unfortunately, I don't have any cool graphic from my time at Fortify like I do below due to contractual obligation, but that doesn't mean I can't share some of my interesting work. During both of my of my internships with Fortify I was working on the Manufacturing team, so I got plenty of hands on experience working with their printers. Additionally, I spend a lot of my time there working on sensor characterization and operational procedure development. This included generating and editing Manufacturing Testing Procedure documents to be more accessible, while using advanced measuring equipment (Keyence Profilimeter to name one) to describe printer behavior. Additionally, while I was there I took a lead role in updating the inventory organization system during a large project introduction

While I did a lot of interesting work at OPT, here were three main projects projects that I'd like to bring up here. The first major project was the fluid test stand pictured on the right, where I used a custom designed stand,  computer vision, and my own procedure to characterize resin flow under different conditions. The second project, early version pictured below, was a multi-month design project to develop a system capable of integrating multiple printers together. This project involved extensive market research, design reviews, and external quoting that incorporated the entire engineering team over the course of its development. The final project I worked on at OPT (not pictured) involved the designing a tool meant to interface with the company's printers to resolve a reoccurring issue. This tool transformed a 45 minute messy disassembly process into an 8 minute procedure that required no disassembly. To my knowledge, the use of my design is still in effect today.
