Mechanical/Applications engineering that covers the entire life cycle of a project. Design commercial and residential HVAC systems, energy management, understand controls sequencing, proposals for bid day, submitting on awarded equipment, project management, HVAC load calculations and equipment selections using TOPPS software, Trane Trace 700, AutoCAD and technical support. This takes working across multiple departments to achieve a common goal, and in return delivers quality customer service.Before going to school I was a sheet metal mechanic for 10 years. This included design, estimates, fabrication, and installation. I have renovated my own home, and have an extensive knowledge of the construction industry. I currently am doing a lot of research on IAQ (Indoor Air Quality), as I, and many other engineers in the HVAC industry would like to participate in addressing the safety issues concerning the general public gathering indoors.Using my background in HVAC and coding to study IoT (Internet of Things) as I believe in the future this will have a huge impact in how we monitor systems in real time, and observe past data to collect trends of HVAC systems. This will help systems run efficiently, monitor IAQ for public safety, which will lead to energy reduction, happier customers, and achieve the safest environment possible for the general public.Programming Languages: JavaScript, Python, and Java, HTML, CSS. Libraries: nodejs, angularjs, mongoose, mongodb, bootstrap.

Listed skills include Javascript, Angularjs, Node.Js, Java, and 15 others.
