はじめまして

My name is Alex "Lexie" Brow. I may have the skills you are looking for.

Additive Manufacturing

I have previous experience in fused deposition modeling (FDM) based additive manufacturing (AM) and 3D computer aided design using Siemens' Solid Edge, Shapr3D, Autodesk Fusion 360, and FreeCAD1⁠. In addition to creating renders of models using Blender2⁠. In my education, I have used the Markforged ecosystem to print in:

  • PA6 Nylon
  • PA6 Carbon Fiber Reinforced Nylon

During my personal time I run a Prusa Research CORE one as my primary FDM printer. Primarily printing in:

  • PLA alloys
  • PETG

Full Stack Development/Systems Administration

For the past six years or so I have spent about 80% of my free time programming or administering servers. I enjoy using these skills to solve niche problems people have. Some of the technologies that I believe that you may find useful:

  • Automation of processes using python, shell scripts
  • Web Development using Vue, Nuxt, Vite
  • Database Management using PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite
  • Server Administration

Education

During my time getting educated I worked with two of my fellow students to create a submersible ROV (pictured) for the Department of Defence and Penn State University's IIRM-URA⁠3. This project was a collaborative effort with many disciplines. Including machining, electronics, programming, and mechanical design. I was personally responsible for the manufacturing, testing, and assembly of the 3D-printed parts on the submersible ROV. Additionally, I was responsible for the programming of the control system.

Work Experience

Although I am currently looking for new opportunities, I have had the privilege of working for:
Penn Highlands Healthcare
Communications Specialist, 2022-2023
University of Iowa Healthcare
Phlebotomy Technician, 2023-2025
Minnesota Direct Care and Treatment
Mental Health Program Assistant, 2025-Present
