Vault Operations Reliability for a Multi-Client CAD/PDM Environment
This work focused on making a fragile Vault environment legible and supportable. The proof is not just setup knowledge, but a repeatable operational model: isolate failures, classify dependencies, and stabilize the workflow chain end to end.

- Established a repeatable path for isolating Vault, Job Processor, and client-side failures.
- Reduced ambiguity in a multi-client CAD/PDM environment by documenting what to test, where to look, and what each failure mode implied.
- Improved readiness for ongoing support, maintenance, and handoff.

Operator Search Platform for a 17,000-Drawing CAD Archive
A legacy drawing archive was slowing reuse, onboarding, and engineering throughput. The system was redesigned around attribute parsing, filterable search, and a cleaner services layer so operators could find and open relevant drawings in seconds.

- Search latency reduced to roughly two seconds for target workflows.
- Daily reused drawings increased from 8 to 18 on average.
- Full lookup and open flow dropped under 30 seconds for common operator scenarios.

Autodesk / commercial configuration systems
Enterprise Product Configurator for Autodesk-Driven Commercial Workflows
This proof is about more than a configurator. Under Chris Rogers' solution-architecture mentorship, I saw how C#, CI/CD, servers, databases, Inventor automation, Vault job processing, JSON/XML boundaries, and lightweight web 3D could come together inside a product customers would actually pay real enterprise money for.

- The team sold a real enterprise-grade configurator with meaningful services, license, and maintenance value attached.
- I gained practical confidence in C#, deployment, automation, browser-based product delivery, and systems design that permanently changed my standard for what I thought I could build.
- That project helped me see software development as the path that could move my family from survival mode toward stability, home ownership, and long-term education.
