*Tracking over 600 assets throughout the USA and South America.*Built and maintaining equipment tracking database*Building in house fabrication tracking system*Writing and implementing procedures for equipment maintenance and personnel operations*Managing personnel to keep a smooth flow of equipment and supplies to field crews

* Locating and managing outside fabrication sources for product manufacturing. * Managing drafting department to output drawings to vendors and customers. * Checking and assisting drafting and design output. * QA/QC vendor output including welding, machining, and coating.

*Creating a programs using Solidworks and Visual Basic to provide design and fabrication drawings for API storage tanks. *Writing MS Excel/Visual Basic based programs to create scripts for automation of AutoCAD fabrication and erection drawings. By using this method, we greatly reduce the time spent drafting and errors made on drawings and BOMs. *Being a small engineering department, we are creating standards, developing templates, and writing procedures for future employees.*Providing drawing packages for fabrication and erection of API 650/620 storage tanks and API 653 repairs.*Co-invented a fully adjustable scaffolding system for use in erection of storage tanks.*Co-invented a new style of full contact aluminum floating roof to reduce vapor emissions in storage tanks.

*Co-invented and began the development of a geodesic dome concept. Patent in application phase.*Worked with my team to repair a strained relationship with an internal production control and manufacturing team.*Designed the "Basic Modular Walkway System". This system transformed a custom walkway to a field adaptable, adjustable, part minimizing walkway system.*Introduced the concept of the snap on hub/node cover. This removes any exposed fasteners and sealant from the hub/node points of the geodesic dome.*Responsible for leading projects through design, approval, and fabrication phases.*Manage team of drafters to create customer and fabrication drawing packages.*Responsible for detailed checking of drawing packages.*Create three-dimensional models for geodesic dome designs. *Design custom fabricated parts for unconventional situations.*Coordinate full material releases for projects. *Enrich product lines with improved design and techniques.*Automate standard part designs.

Us

* Responsible for designing filtration hardware for ASME pressure vessels.* Proficient in updating and maintaining all manufacturing drawings in AutoCAD.* Expert proficiency in AutoCAD for over fifteen years; specialized and greatly accomplished in creating three-dimensional models in AutoDesk Inventor for use in layouts, designing, and marketing presentations.* Create three-dimensional models using P&ID’s for various skidded packages. * Designer of numerous upgrade packages, which converts an existing pressure vessel to accept Porous Media’s filter elements.* Play an integral role in performing various collaborations and performing problem solving tasks with the CNC and fabrication teams.* Adept at communicating with fabrication vendors on ASME pressure vessel construction.* Knowledgeable and experienced with the installation of filtration hardware.* Experience with purchasing raw materials for manufacturing.* Perform fabrication of R&D parts related to hardware designs.* Personally responsible for designing a filter leaf manifold system which converts the older filter leaf vessel to accept a cartridge filter. This innovative system has a provisional patent filed as of May 2010.* Personally responsible for designing the Torus filter system which uses a toroidal inlet manifold thus allowing uniform distribution of inlet fluids. The design provides a significantly greater filtration capacity and has a provisional patent filed as of May 2011.* Consistently work with various vessel fabricators to solve project problems and reach solutions.* Involve with final vessel inspections on site at various fabricators.* Use and knowledge of manual lathe and mill.* Organize and facilitate project shipments.

* Worked on Nalco-Exxon oil testing probe project, which included the disassembly of the original probe and compiled measurements to complete an assembly drawing. * Assembled and temperature-testing of prototype probes. * Worked with vacuum and pneumatics on various projects. * Prepared customer drawings and drawings from engineer sketches and updated non-AutoCAD drawings to the network.
