Working in a client reactive office supporting Engineering Estimates; Evaluations; new Technology Development; Equipment Testing; and Metrics establishment for chemical demilitarization efforts. Apply previous operations knowledge to Research Technologies to destroy; remediate; and dispose of chemical weapons; assess, access, demilitarize, and decontamination systems evaluated and recommended.Current assignments include supporting the ACWA contract for engineering; process design evalautions; and closure estimating. Additional responsibilities include the authoring of technical white papers associated with the subjects of chemical demilitarization processes, equipment, materials of construction, and chemical agent production. Currently hold a Secret Clearance. Show less

As a Project Engineer (SAIC/Leidos), I worked in a multifaceted position that included Analysis, PM, and Technical Knowledge in various disciplines; developed engineering and logic requirements for implementation and analysis of Government-produced databases for easy disposal of chemical weapons (CW); and authored various Technical White Papers, Specifications, Operations Documents, and Conduct of Operations sequences for disposal processes. As a Sr. Engineer (SAIC/Leidos) involved with… Show more As a Project Engineer (SAIC/Leidos), I worked in a multifaceted position that included Analysis, PM, and Technical Knowledge in various disciplines; developed engineering and logic requirements for implementation and analysis of Government-produced databases for easy disposal of chemical weapons (CW); and authored various Technical White Papers, Specifications, Operations Documents, and Conduct of Operations sequences for disposal processes. As a Sr. Engineer (SAIC/Leidos) involved with the design of a Screening Facility (SF), I interfaced with the contractor for the Design and Construction of the facility; coordinated Technical Evaluations and reviewed Technologies for possible incorporation into the SF; participated in the review of Preliminary and Concept Designs; and developed specifications based on the Expected Process Flow of screened materials.As a 22 year asset to the Chemical Agent Operations Team with the government, I developed Technical Applications for new and innovative ways to destroy CW; authored Detailed Descriptions of Chemical Demilitarization Facilities (CDFs) for the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC); designed and implemented Processes for new Alternative Facilities based on the operation of the CDF (incineration or neutralization); and gathered Historical Information on material utilized for CDF construction, concerns with the disposal of various CW, and the overall rate and availability of disposal equipment afforded during agent destruction. Finally, I supported over eight different disposal technologies associated with the destruction of CW, spanning over 22 years, and interfaced with site personnel for possible assistance and disposal efforts associated with the various technologies.

As a Manufacturing Engineer on the Machine Shop and White Room floors, I authored, implemented, and verified the use and execution of Manufacturing Process Plans; evaluated processes for the Fabrication of Composite Structures for cosmetics and in-process flow times; and facilitated the Development and Production Prove-out of several key pieces of capital equipment for both metal and composite applications.As a Prototype Engineer, I developed several proprietary processes and provided… Show more As a Manufacturing Engineer on the Machine Shop and White Room floors, I authored, implemented, and verified the use and execution of Manufacturing Process Plans; evaluated processes for the Fabrication of Composite Structures for cosmetics and in-process flow times; and facilitated the Development and Production Prove-out of several key pieces of capital equipment for both metal and composite applications.As a Prototype Engineer, I developed several proprietary processes and provided expertise to the Manufacture and Evaluation of composite acoustic liners, was responsible for the Coordination and Manufacture of Government prototype systems and ensuring their on time delivery; and interpreted engineering drawings for Productivity Studies and Engineering Design Constructability. Several of these studies were performed on Robotic Vehicles, Underwater Submersibles, and both mechanical and composite Large Scale Production efforts. Show less

Eddystone, Pa

As the Manager of the Foam Evaluation Lab, I tested several variations of foam for the Packaging Industry, facilitated the movement of acoustic foam products from Development to Production, and Developed/Manufactured a prototype foam for medical blood oxygenation applications. Performed my duties in a highly toxic environment and safety was paramount as I executed my daily tasks. Mixed chemicals to produce Prototype Foams to establish requirements for the various industries supported.
