Facilitating the installation of automated HVAC systems and supporting equipment into data centers during the development phase.

Groton, Connecticut, United States

• Led a diverse team of 38 SMEs in a matrix organization directing the instruction of 460 introductory and senior level students annually. Oversaw and guided the program’s 210% growth from 220 students and 25 instructors. • Demonstrated elite management and reliability as the most senior on-site officer. Across the three most recent evaluations, I ranked 1 of 15, 1 of 18, and 1 of 20 against my peers at other sites. • Identified and resolved a curriculum misalignment that would have cost the school an estimated $2.4M annually. • Achieved significant improvements in company culture by improving staff training, mentorship, and skill development, reducing employee blockers and red-tape, and bolstered internal promotion rates. These efforts directly led to the retention of five SMEs as contractors after they separated from the military. • Planned and facilitated the $600K construction of 5 IT classrooms five months ahead of schedule and on budget to facilitate new curriculum in 2022. Coordinated scope of work and budget of all subcontractors for installation. • Organized all budget tracking, key performance metrics, and subcontract compliance of Navy’s $45M IT facility.

Bangor Base, Washington, United States

Served as a Division Officer (PM) aboard US Submarine in charge of machinery, auxiliary, and weapons support divisions. • Provided cross functional leadership to a division of 15 in a matrix style organization. Responsible for management of all mechanical systems on the ship's nuclear reactor and supporting steam generation equipment as well as all associated electrical supply and control equipment.• Drove execution certainty for first-time right processes in accordance with technical documentation and multiple procedures. Regularly managed over 10 simultaneous projects with accuracy and timeliness and on budget. • Due to extremely low schedule tolerance because of planned warship movements, I provided daily project updates, coordinated conflicting jobs, and utilized risk management to identify scheduling blockers and resource restrictions well in advance, limiting impact to both ship schedule and budgetary allocations. • Frequently led training in NFPA 70 and best practices/lessons learned in electrical safety and maintenance. • Substantial military OSHA certifications and safety training completed. Safety supervisor qualified. • Demonstrated extensive quality assurance and quality control experience by planning and coordinating multi-million-dollar systems replacements including administrating for the development, execution, and testing of 550+ formal work packages on nuclear level 1 equipment and systems during an extended dry dock refit period.• Supervised 900+ maintenance operations and significant experience with technical documentation. • Experience communicating design and tolerance constraints for electrical replacement parts with manufacturers.

Charleston, South Carolina Metropolitan Area

• Elite training regimen of nuclear propulsion officers. Obtained certifications in electrical engineering and design, reactor theory, heat transfer, nuclear materials, chemistry, reactor and electrical safety, and maintenance. • Qualified by Naval Reactors as Engineering Officer of the Watch in 2017.Period covers all training and initial Navy responsibilities as a junior officer to include Officer Candidate school, Navy Nuclear Training and qualifications, and Submarine Officer Basic Course.

Energy Concentration: - Introduction to Nuclear Engineering - Turbomachinery - Solar Decathlon Research - Refrigeration and Cooling Systems - Thermodynamics I and IIResearch Projects:-Solar Decathlon Urban Eden- 2 year international competition sponsored by the DOE to design and construct a solar powered house. I led the design and construction of imbedded radiative cooling system to pull heat from concrete walls and floors and radiate the stored heat away at night. Third place internationally for engineering design and first place for People's Choice Award - AREVA Nuclear Cogeneration- 1 year design project to investigate alternative uses for waste heat developed by nuclear reactors during off-peak loading hours. Designed multi-stage flash desalination process for Diablo Canyon nuclear facility. Project deemed financially unfeasible due to political obstacles and poor ROI forecast. - Grede Holdings LLC Robotic Cell Design - Designed a ABB robotic cell interfacing with Haas CNC Machines to improve casting production rate by 183% with an expected annual savings of 373,000$Turbomachinery Course- treatment of the types, uses, and principles of operation of turbomachines; usage of fluid mechanics, thermodynamics and applications for the selection, specification of turbomachinery.Multiple projects conducting finite element analysis and stress analysis in AutoDesk Inventor, CREO Parametric, and Solidworks 3D CAD.
