Experience

Mitsubishi Power Americas Inc.

Integrated Cognex In-Sight 3800/D900 vision systems with an ABB IRB 2400 industrial robot to support automated inspection of turbine blade and vane geometries.
Developed and tested robotic inspection workflows in ABB RobotStudio, including synchronized robot motion, camera triggering, and I/O sequencing across multi-point inspection paths.
Configured adaptive image acquisition routines using camera settings such as exposure, focus, gain, and lighting conditions to improve defect visibility across different component surfaces.
Designed and 3D-printed custom fixtures to hold turbine components in repeatable positions during robotic inspection and image capture.
Supported testing and validation of inspection workflows to improve repeatability, defect detection performance, and readiness for standardized maintenance processes.
Gained hands-on manufacturing and prototyping experience through soldering, fixture assembly, and EDM wire support work.
Presented technical progress, test results, and implementation updates to engineering teams and leadership.
