I have over five years of hands-on experience working with composite materials, including carbon fiber, fiberglass, and Kevlar. My expertise includes damage assessment, surface preparation, and applying repair techniques such as patching, bonding, and curing. I am proficient in using tools like sanders, grinders, and vacuum bagging systems. Additionally, I have completed certifications in composite repair from recognized institutions, ensuring I follow industry standards and best practices.

I ensure quality by meticulously following repair manuals and technical specifications. I use precision tools like micrometers and ultrasonic testers to assess damage and verify repairs. I also perform thorough inspections at each stage, from surface preparation to final curing, to ensure structural integrity. Adhering to safety protocols and maintaining a clean workspace further minimizes errors and ensures consistent, high-quality results.

I once repaired a large carbon fiber panel with extensive delamination. The challenge was ensuring the repair matched the original strength and finish. I carefully removed damaged layers, applied precise resin infusion, and used vacuum bagging for uniform pressure. Post-repair, I conducted non-destructive testing to confirm the repair’s integrity. The project was completed on time and met all performance specifications, earning positive feedback from the client.

I stay updated by attending industry conferences, participating in workshops, and subscribing to technical journals. I also engage in online forums and training programs offered by composite material manufacturers. This continuous learning helps me adopt new techniques, tools, and materials, ensuring my skills remain current and aligned with industry advancements.

I prioritize safety by wearing PPE, including respirators, gloves, and protective clothing, to avoid exposure to harmful resins and fibers. I ensure proper ventilation in the workspace and use dust extraction systems to minimize airborne particles. I also follow OSHA guidelines and manufacturer safety data sheets to handle chemicals and tools safely, reducing risks of accidents or health hazards.
