Mechanical Engineer – Rapid Response and New Product Development – Isolation Valves • Designed new downhole Isolation Valves, providing complete documentation including Bill of Materials, manufacturing drawings, calculation packages, tolerance studies, assembly and testing procedures, and equipment layouts • Produced >$500k revenue for the company per year in client-funded projects (working with Shell, Petrobras, Equinor, Chevron, Reliance, Total, Lukoil)• Planned and performed extensive pressure and temperature testing to certify Isolation Valve designs per ISO 28781:2010/API 19V• Worked in on-site machine shop to disposition manufacturing nonconformances, improve manufacturing process, and learn to Design for Manufacturing• Completed ADVANCE new hire training program including a final project working cross-function with Wireline tools to shift Isolation Valves

During my studies, I spent 10-20 hours/week grading undergraduate lab reports for Thermodynamics, Intro to Engineering, and Materials/Manufacturing Lab.

I redesigned and tested a mechanical component to be used in a release device for downhole applications. The new design will save over $500K per year for Schlumberger.

I developed a new website for the Offshore Business Unit, created a standard for monthly project reports, and assisted the mechanical facilities group in valve specifications and weight reports for multiple projects.
