In My Own Words
I take design requirements and turn them into actionable plans. I have the ability to apply and perform product development skills to bring products to full commercial production such as design validation, BOM optimization, sourcing, and material selection. I have very strong analytical skills and act independently. I take initiatives and like challenges. I strive for simple solutions to solve to complex problems. I'm comfortable making clear, well-reasoned design and business decisions. I'm a strong motivator and a creative team builder that leads by example with the ability to work well under pressure and meet multiple deadlines.
Work Experience
Field Engineer
Manson Construction2016 – Present
• Designed, sourced, and constructed a simple filtration device using SolidWorks and AutoCAD to remove munitions and explosives from oceanic sand prior to depositing sand onto beach. Design eliminated a complex environmental threat to safely rebuild the New Jersey Shore after Hurricane Sandy. Repurposed unused sheet metal for efficient and cost effective implementation. Design increased production efficiency by 14%. • Designed, sourced, and constructed a customized I beam weldment to allow a tractor loader to move equipment on construction site in a self-sufficient manner. Previous method did not follow OSHA standards and required additional labor force to complete simple tasks. Utilized FEA and SolidWorks to verify structural integrity. Reduced weekly labor costs by 5 hours/week. • Directed and worked with contractors, engineers, suppliers, and laborers to manage the completion of major project milestones for on time and under-budget projects.
Technological Development Engineering Intern
ExxonMobil2015 – 2015
• Leveraged the knowledge of the product design, R&D, and manufacturing groups to effectively design a new plastic materials property test. Implementation of test into the technology department to aid in predicting the feasibility of commercializing new products. • Identified required material and equipment to increase the manufacturing efficiency of producing existing products. Met with suppliers and product developers to determine production feasibility of manufacturing at commercial scale. • Utilized fluid dynamic principles while partnering with staff from the production and manufacturing departments to optimize the production of new products recently approved for commercial use after testing phase.
Operational Support Engineer
Williams2014 – 2014
• Leverage engineering analysis methods to repurpose unutilized air - conditioning by designing and sourcing a new engine air-intake system to solve a thermodynamic inefficiency problem. New system increased engine efficiency by 14% and increase profits by $35,000/yr. • Recommended equipment upgrades and modifications to meet productions requirement through collaboration with the sourcing department, suppliers, operation personnel, and cost analysis engineers • Lead equipment optimization meetings to maximize the production capabilities and identify chokepoints of existing equipment.
Sourcing Intern
Catamount Construction2013 – 2013
• Worked in between project development teams, suppliers, and 3rd party contractors to implement a new computerized sourcing program and sourcing strategy to the reduce time spent in the project costing phase by 20%. • Coordinated turnover from sourcing phase to construction phase of 3 multi-million dollar contracts. Worked with construction managers, project estimating managers, and suppliers to ensure project meets all architectural design specifications and client requirements. • Collaborated with project estimating managers to determined sourcing requirements for upcoming design-build projects. Produced cost comparison reports to analyze cost effectiveness of varying suppliers. Performed quality control procedures to guarantee design is feasible and that selected suppliers meet contract specifications.
