I am a professional engineer (Mechanical Engineering PE) with a materials/ metallurgical engineering background and 11 years of military service.I have project management experience in both the military and civilian sectors ranging from downsizing military bases in Afghanistan to managing mechanical integrity and reliability programs for aging power and chemical manufacturing plants. Due to the diversity of past projects, I have a unique ability to direct multi-disciplinary projects and navigate complex challenges. Further, experience has taught me that my professional value boils down to building healthy relationships, continuous learning, patience, and long-term vision. One's focus should be to foster a culture that searches for solutions to current problems while developing strategies towards preventing them in the future.
