Wade Barrineau is an engineer who has experience with various design, implementation, and computer modeling projects including: 1) Designing an armored window system for the HMWV that maximizes protection while maintaining visibility and fits in narrow streets. Over 500 kits were shipped. 2) Designing armor kits for commercial vehicles traveling in Iraq, with over 750 kits shipped. 3) Creating computer renderings for a prototype vehicle engine. 4) Designing a multi-axis machine for refurbishing jet turbine parts. 5) Designing a prototype children's toy modeled in Solidworks.

2. Design/Implementation
Examples
Switchblade armored
window design –
maximizes occupant
protection and
visibility. Also, works
in very narrow street
environments.
Easily assembled,
field kit deployable
solution for the
HMWV. 500+ kits
were shipped.
Mercedes/Volvo armor kits -
deployed at the start of the Iraqi
war. First field deployed armor kit
for commercial tractor-trailers
traveling from Kuwait to the Green
Zone. 750 kits were shipped.
Design-stage renderings - Intake
manifold for custom designed 3
liter V4 motor for a prototype
vehicle.

3. Design Examples
Complete Turbine Service
Multi-axis PLC-controlled
grinding and cutting
machine for refurbishing jet
turbine shrouds, interstage
seals and rotors
Independent contracting project –
Prototype plastic children’s toy,
designed in Solidworks.

4. Computer
Modeling/Rendering
Example
This is a final representation of a working model
designed from the ground up, using Solidworks. Every
nut, bolt, and final component is represented in this final
rendering.
As a result of this rendering, Solidworks sponsored
Travertson at the Solidworks World 2009 convention, and
featured this picture on the cover of their agenda.

5. Documentation Example
Sample pages – Owner’s & Service manuals
Based on the working models, I wrote the Service and Owner’s
Manuals for the Travertson Vrex and all production drawings.
