• In the combined company, design repairs according to ASME, ISO and local regulatory codes using composite materials to restore refinery and chemical plant systems carrying hazardous products such as crude oil, flare gas and sulfuric acid and suffering from a multitude of defect mechanisms, including corrosion, erosion, dents, cracks and gouges• Grow product line sales through membership in regulatory codes and standard committees related to hazardous and immediately dangerous to life or health process piping and equipment• Merge and maintain company’s Excel-based design tools, setup automation codes in VBA to streamline generation of designs and bill of materials• Interpret regulatory codes such as ASME, ABSA, CSA and TSSA and develop automated technical output documentation to show proof of fulfillment in designs• Author technical instructions for field installation crews including specialized documentation for unique flaws• Provide immediate technical judgments directly to customers for emergency repairs including feasibility, practicality, suitable product options and installation requirements• Establish and maintain direct relationships with key customer accounts

• Oversaw 3-person engineering team for North and South America regions• Created and managed design tools used by all engineers worldwide for repairs on process piping, pipelines, tanks, pressure vessels and offshore caissons and risers• Focal point contact for large capital projects in North America• Provided feedback to leadership on market opportunities and brought to market 3 new product systems• Mentored mid and entry-level team members on code interpretations and complex designs such as axially induced loads and bending moments• Performed root cause analysis of defective repairs leading to implementation of corrective action plans

• Designed composite repairs for damaged refinery and transmission pipeline systems• Directly interfaced with multiple levels of customer’s teams, including engineering, management, planning, inspection, and maintenance, to ensure expectations were exceeded• Perform design and installations for R&D test programs to confirm projects were feasible, produced the desired result and satisfied emerging field deployment opportunities for immediate return on investment

• Designed repairs for pressure piping, tanks and vessels using carbon and fiberglass-based systems primarily through long-hand methods accounting for cyclic fatigue, thermal effects and interfacing stress with substrate• Evaluated inspection reports, performed API fitness-for-service and quantitative risk assessments, and built installation layouts in AutoCAD• Contracted 8 vendor supply material networks while managing intercompany product supply chain

Texas Institute for Intelligent Bio-Nano Materials and Structures for Aerospace Vehicles• Studied the effects of carbon nanotubes on delamination and fracture propagation (Mode II) of carbon laminates• Co-authored with Dr. Daniel C. Davis, “An Experimental Study of Interlaminar Shear Fracture Toughness of a Nanotube Reinforced Composite” sponsored by the U.S. Air Force• Executed entire test program including specimen fabrication through H-VARTM, writing test program code and data reduction. Further quantified results with scanned electron microscopy (SEM) imaging.

• Performed mechanical load tests in nondestructive and destructive environments in order to advance company materials characteristic properties through experimental research• Created load frame test program sequence, calibrated test frames, analyzed 60 specimens in 12 differing environments from cryogenic to 300F, and provided recommendations for future tests
