Paul is a senior manufacturing systems consultant at Alan Weber & Associates, and is a specialist in mission-critical distributed manufacturing system design and implementation. Before joining, Paul spent his most recent two and a half years at KLA-Tencor's Control Solutions Division, where he was the software technical lead for the Catalyst product. He has been responsible for many analysis, design, development, and implementation tasks of selected components in the Catalyst product. He has over 20 years of experience in manufacturing, the last 18 in the semiconductor industry. He joined Control Solutions in January 1997 as one of the original developers on the AMD APC Framework Initiative project, which was the precursor to the Catalyst APC product.

In his previous employment as a National Semiconductor assignee to SEMATECH, he helped formulate components of the SEMATECH CIM Framework, based on a C++ prototype implementation. While working at National, and previously at General Electric's Factory Automation Division, he gained a broad exposure to manufacturing domain applications which include manufacturing execution systems, statistical process control, process specification and automated planning, document revision management, and recipe management and automated download; as well as manufacturing systems implementation technologies, including legacy network and relational databases, and message bus and CORBA distributed systems.

Paul earned his Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and a Master's in Manufacturing Systems Engineering at the University of Texas at Austin.
