My greatest strength is breaking down complex technical matters into understandable concepts.I specialize in manufacturing, engineering process design, and project management. My services include:• Forensic engineering and expert witnessing:Technical investigation into failures and accidents using engineering principles to determine root causes, particularly in cases of process design and manufacturing operations. Often results in a written technical report and/or legal testimony in cases of breach of contract, industrial accidents, product liability, damages assessment, intellectual property or compliance.• Owner’s engineering: Provide support throughout the project lifecycle of projects, from concept to commissioning, to fill the gap between the owner's in-house team and the external subject matter experts needed to successfully implement projects.• Project management assessment: Independent review designed to evaluate (i) the extent to which project management standards are being followed, (ii) the currently expected project outcome in terms of scope, schedule and cost, or (iii) the reasons for project failure.• Project cost auditing: Systematic examination of cost estimates, cost controls, cost forecasting, and investment appraisal to evaluate suitability and provide risk analysis.I hold a BS and MS in Mechanical Engineering, as well as a MBA. I am a licensed Professional Engineer (PE), certified Project Manager Professional (PMP) and Certified Estimating Professional (CEP). I am also a published author, conference speaker and inventor with multiple patents.www.pacedengg.com
