• I worked on the mechanical design of several bulk material handling projects that dealt with conveyance of coal, limestone, fly ash and bottom ash on several coal-fired power plant projects.• I worked with utilities such as Westar/KCP&L and Vectren, by performing engineering feasibility studies on the conversion of wet bottom ash sluicing systems to semi-dry and dry bottom ash systems to meet EPA compliance rules regarding CCR waste disposal and ELG guidelines. • I worked for 6 months (from July to December 2017) in Beijing, China to provide bulk material handling design support to the Black & Veatch Asia office.• I provided engineering design support on Fuel Gas Supply Systems while located at the Black & Veatch office in Ann Arbor, Michigan.• I performed mechanical design on nuclear boiler feedwater systems for the Mitsubishi US-APWR reactor design.• I performed mechanical system design on combined cycle and several coal-fired related power plant systems.• At the Kyger Creek Power Plant, I collected data on the Jet Bubbling Reactor (JBR) performance from plant DCS system/historian. I provided daily reports to the home office on JBR activities, JBR tuning, startup, and commissioning functions. I provided commissioning support on the FGD equipment. I engaged in addressing warranty claims by the client (AEP/OVEC) and coordinating with vendors and union trades to complete warranty-related repairs onsite, especially during plant outages.• I served as a field mechanical engineer at the AEP Cardinal Units 1 & 2 power plant site. I provided engineering support for the installation of insulation and heat tracing on all outdoor process piping (2+ million-dollar project). I provided engineering support for the installation of pipe support devices on FRP process piping (4+ million-dollar project). I also provided engineering field support on the installation of major equipment for the wastewater treatment facility (1+ million-dollar project).

• My responsibilities included the installation and erection of walk-in refrigerators/freezers as well as refrigerated warehouses. I assisted with the erection/construction of several refrigerated warehouses for ConAgra Foods in Omaha, Nebraska.• I am experienced in coordinating refrigeration requirements and systems with plumbing and electrical contractors.• I assisted in the service and maintenance of refrigeration systems in food service, hospitality, and pharmaceutical industries. I am experienced in the layout and installation of refrigeration piping and pipe hanger systems.

• My responsibilities included the design of main steam, cold and hot reheat steam systems, auxiliary water, circulating water, closed cooling water, potable water, and service water systems on combined cycle power plants.• I managed the layout of major pieces of equipment and piping through piping and instrumentation diagrams, plant general arrangements, isometric drawings, and plant 3D modeling. My systems design functions involved the sizing of pumps, hydraulic sizing of pipelines, tanks, heat exchangers, condensers, air removal equipment, and control valves.• My Contract Engineer duties involved the coordination of equipment requirements and acquisition between owner and manufacturer’s representative. I was responsible for the technical coordination of equipment acquisitions between $0.5 and $2.3 million dollars. I was responsible for the development of contract specifications for major power plant components such as auxiliary and circulating water pumps, miscellaneous pumps, plate and frame heat exchangers, steam surface condensers, large butterfly valves, steel circulating water pipe, and control valves.• I managed all administrative phases of Contract Engineering including kickoff coordination meetings, monthly meeting minutes, equipment specification development and maintenance, bid evaluation and selection, and review and approval of technical documents, drawings, and other miscellaneous document submittals. My additional duties involved the coordination of design changes and potential change orders.

• I developed, programmed, and assisted in the design of database tables to store piping stress analysis data for GE Nuclear Energy. I assisted GE engineers in the development of numerous translators for automating the extraction of pipe stress analysis data from a centralized database. This effort includes all aspects of software development from writing software requirements, code development, verification, test, to final release.• I directed a one-week on-site installation/test of piping stress analysis software used by GE Nuclear Energy personnel in Madrid, Spain.• I programmed correct placement and orientation of pipe hanger mechanisms in 3D modeling system.• I developed an AutoCAD to 3D translator for the movement of 3D graphical data into a legacy 3D modeling system.• I was the project leader in all phases of new code development and verification of The Response Spectra and Enveloping Program and Interactive Water and Steam Tables (IAPWS-IF97) Program. I gathered customer requirements, developed software design documents, programmed all application functionality, constructed test plans and test scripts, developed user manuals, managed all phases of program verification and met all software product life cycle requirements for nuclear power plant use.• I was the technical advisor in the code enhancement of a Flue Gas & Combustion Analysis Program.• I managed the enhancement of the ADLPIPE Piping Stress Analysis Program to meet ASME B31.1 1989, 1992, and 1995 power piping standards, including code modification, program verification, and the development of new test cases.• I programmed code enhancements on several mechanical design software applications such as Thermodynamic Analysis of Power Plant Systems, Pressure Drop Analysis in Piping Systems, Interactive Water and Steam Tables (IFC-1967), Piping Stress Analysis (ADLPIPE), Flue Gas & Combustion Analysis, Compressible Blowdown Analysis, Deaerator Analysis and Fluid Flow Analysis in Piping Networks.
