After 2 years of employment with Bosch-Rexroth, Michael started his tenure at Carrier Corporation as a Designer. At Carrier he was introduced to new design automation software called Smart Assembly by Sigmaxim. For the last year and a half, Michael has spent his time leading a team developing tools in this software to reduce design time and errors thru scripting.
