Analyzed buildings and designed ways to decrease energy consumption. Created eQUEST drawings based on mechanical, electrical and plumbing plans. Tested heat pumps to ensure thermostat controls are properly connected.

Coordinated final construction of the first Liquid Natural Gas Container Ship. Managed the final outfitting of the cargo holds, upper deck, and the ballast tanks. Oversaw and performed inspections throughout the ship, including weld inspections which required a visual inspection, and provided oversight on rigging loads.

Performed energy audits for several hospitals, schools and other large, outdated buildings. Designed ways to implement more efficient lighting and mechanical systems to save these companies energy which saves money. Created useful equations with Microsoft Excel to illustrate energy savings for clients to illustrate the amount of money they would be saving overtime. The equations would also show the amount of time it would take for the client to pay off for the equipment and systems that were implemented.
