Welding

I started welding by enrolling in welding classes at the Southern California Regional Occupation Center (SCROC) in 2010.  There I got certified in SMAW, GMAW, and GTAW welding techniques as well as the use of oxyacetylene torches and plasma cutters.  With all three welding techniques I was certified in flat, horizontal, vertical, and overhead welding with mild steel.  Additionally, I was certified to weld stainless steel and aluminum with GTAW.

Since taking these classes and getting certified I have continued to practice mainly via automotive practice.  For several years I worked at Sports Car Classics as a fabricator, restoring and customizing classic cars.  In college I joined MIT Motorsports and spent a majority of my time fabricating chassis and suspensions by welding together steel tubular space frames.  I also welded some aluminum components including the radiator for cooling.
