Edmonton, Alberta, Canada

- Assisted a start-up with CFD simulation, AI/ML, and redesigned heat exchangers for metal additive manufacturing to optimize a fuel cell generator using Altair software- Designed high efficiency cooling plates and heat exchangers using the Diabatix Coldstream software- Improved production efficiency by 200% through the design and implementation of product design systems for several clients- Assisting a CNC fabrication and machine shop to reduce operating costs and better serve their customers through additive manufacturing- Brought several new engineered composite structural system designs to North America on behalf of a client- Tested a meshless engineering simulation program, more than 1000 times faster than a traditional mesh-based engineering simulation (FEA), providing feedback to the developer that successfully sold the program to Altair

Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada

- Reduced a near double-digit rejection rate of a critical die-cast assembly by over 500% by working closely with the overseas supplier- Introduced additive manufacturing to increase the speed of delivery of jigs and fixtures by more than 400%- A revised model and drawing standard were developed to improve the quality of design and inspection, as well as to improve the clarity of the design intent- Through redesign, GD&T-based inspections, and interdepartmental and vendor communication, we improved the quality throughput of several key mechanical components by 20%

Edmonton, Alberta, Canada

- Operated a joint venture engineering office for a Mexican manufacturing conglomerate to provide their two Mexican manufacturing divisions with high quality Canadian engineering services- Provided API (American Petroleum Institute) audit support services to the Mexican partner, allowing them to maintain and expand Mexican manufacturing capabilities

Nisku, Alberta, Canada

- Transformed a drafting department, converting it to a full engineering team, allowing for a more than doubling of quality throughput and engineered product that can withstand audit reviews- Engineering department reviews and quality standards were improved, allowing the team to produce designs that adhered to API Q1 standards and passed API audits- Replaced aging workstations and CAD systems, and implemented Enterprise Product Data Management (EPDM), including submission and review rules, to streamline the design and review process, speeding up time to release by up to 400%- Increased external engineering revenues by 300% in one year by implementing and providing engineering services to several international clients- Oilfield equipment and drilling rig design engineering

Calgary, Alberta, Canada

- Set up systems and processes to allow a start-up manufacturing client to 4x their manufacturing revenue by creating and managing the engineering design office- Contracted to provide engineering oversight and reviewed all designs for a new client following the death of a fabrication worker due to severe engineering issues- Provided expert FEA (finite element analysis) services to clients, which allowed them to enter new markets worth millions of dollars- Established a stand-alone engineering office to help a key client double the production of oilfield drilling rigs- We provided custom engineering services to a client so that they could expand their custom manufacturing services alongside their core sawmill manufacturing operations- Oilfield equipment and drilling rig design engineering

Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada

- Encouraged/mentored a colleague to create Dynamech, and within a year, placed 6 engineers and designers to assist in designing the first-generation fuel cell bus stacks/modules at a Ballard JV site (Xcellsys)- Fuel cell module design engineering

Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada

- I led a team of four to design and oversee the design and construction of a prototype sleeper interior for a truck show three months later- Found and validated a new vendor for Western Star that continues to be a key vendor today- Heavy duty truck design engineering

Edmonton, Alberta, Canada

Engineering analysis, design, and calculations using MathCad for oilfield (oil & gas) machinery and drawworks (winch).

Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada

- Using Pro/Engineer, developed a methodology to create new transfer cases, rear suspensions, and rear axles, which reduced engineering time by over 75% (from a week to a day)- Using Pro/Engineer, developed a methodology to swap engine, cab, truck model for switching from Tier 3 to Tier 4 CARB engine standards to determine engineering changes needed, thus decreasing speed to add or change engine design configurations by 50%- Heavy-duty truck design engineering

Penticton, British Columbia, Canada

- Developed a new split trailer jig to allow for repeated build of duplicate trailers, reducing build time 10%, and allowing for parts spares- Trailer design engineering
