Leads development of design concepts, prototypes, and small volume products for a diverse range of research and national defense projects. Developed first in the world capabilities for containment of toxic vapors in open ended chambers. Designed ultra-precise liquid and powder metering methodologies exceeding the capability of commercial, laboratory grade systems while performing in a harsh field deployment environment. Serves as lead engineer for small design teams coordinating multi-disciplinary efforts. Develops timely solutions through integration of concept development, design, fabrication, and testing. Designs dissemination devices, motorized systems, hand operated devices, specialty tools, environmental protection, temperature-control systems and combined chemical/environmental test chambers, and decontamination systems. Devices are often used for chemically and physically harsh environments, and life-critical applications. Experience with design of chemical, biological and explosive handling and containment systems for both liquids and powders. Manage design/development projects throughout product life cycle including proposals, concept development, design review, prototyping, testing, production, and occasionally even operation, maintenance and training.

Design large industrial filtration and conveying equipment. Prepared drawings and bills of material for standard design configurations. Developed new designs for custom equipment. Gained experience with sheet metal fabrication as well as many industrial practices such as motors and drive systems, sensors, NEMA ratings and equipment specification.
