• Successfully planned for turnaround/shutdown event at petroleum refinery for maintenance, by identifying poor performing equipment/components, creating equipment fabrication specifications, and selecting fabricators.
• Evaluated valve metallurgy in catalyst regeneration unit to reduce unscheduled unit shutdowns that cost up to $10MM in 2023 due to poor valve performance
• Managed capital projects from development, estimating using Aspen Capital Cost Estimator, contractor selection, and execution

• Designed and prototyped a quick-lock tool fixture using SOLIDWORKS and a 3D printer to transport an X-ray tube during manufacturing that can weigh up to 250 lbs.
• Conducted a thermal analysis of stainless steel and carbon steel for use in an X-ray tube casing using ANSYS
• Constructed lead loading cells, ordered tools, and set up a workflow that follows lean manufacturing methods

Salt Lake County, Utah, United States

• Designed, prototyped, and manufactured testing mechanism using SOLIDWORKS and 3D printer to evaluate plastic delamination of pressurized panels
• Updated space division CAD drawings through SOLIDWORKS for clients to view on the 3form webpage
• Designed packaging in SOLIDWORKS for assembled frames, footplate, and hardware to ship from Vietnam

Umatilla, Oregon, United States

• Performed root cause analysis that identified gaps in procedures, design, and lack of failure alarm when system failure occurred that led to industrial water freeze issues which cost over $200,000 per year in repairs
• Developed a sequence of procedures for ≈30 sites to avoid damages to pipes and valves due to improper winterization of data centers
• Completed site audit that identified exhaust fans and computer room air handler units were underperforming which could lead to pressure differences in electrical rooms
