Summary
Hunter Ashton is a maintenance engineer based in Dayton, Ohio, with a background in Plastics Engineering Technology and a CADD minor from Shawnee State University. Over a decade in the field, he has two years of hands-on experience running PVC extrusion lines and supporting equipment, and more recently has transitioned into capital projects and process engineering roles. He leverages SolidWorks to produce scaled 3D models for equipment, new installations, and plant layouts, blending design skills with shop-floor troubleshooting and preventive maintenance. Hunter is expanding into basic fabrication and tooling to pair practical metalwork skills with his growing CAD competency. Outside the plant, he contributes to Android ROM and app development as part of the halogenOS community, demonstrating a curiosity for embedded/mobile systems and collaborative open-source projects. This mix of mechanical, process, and software-oriented interests makes him effective at bridging engineering design and operational reliability.
