PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

UNITED STATES PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE (USPTO) Alexandria, Virginia

Primary Patent Examiner May 2008 to present

Perform search and substantive examination of patent applications in my respective art unit.

Training in case law, examination, claim interpretation, restrictions, utility, appeals and appeal briefs,

double patenting, compact prosecution, 35 U.S.C. §§ 101, 102, 103, 112, 121, and MPEP.

Maintained or exceeded at least 110% production at all times.

UNITED STATES NAVY Newport News, Virginia

Mechanical Engineer, Civilian (Code 260) December 1999 to May 2008

Maintained surveillance, reviewed, evaluated, and accepted design concepts, final designs, and

working plans for propulsion piping systems and machinery components, developed by contractor,

for use onboard US NAVY Aircraft Carriers and Submarines. Propulsion piping systems included,

but were not limited to main steam piping, reboiler steam, condensate and feed, catapult steam, and

reserve feed.

Performed calculations to determine whether plans, test memoranda, and designs reflected the best

possible designs.

Evaluated calculations resulting from performed tests to ensure that high-pressure piping systems

were technically adequate to perform under US Naval design specifications. This effort was

performed on the USS NIMITZ (CVN 68), USS EISENHOWER (CVN 69), and USS CARL VINSON

during Refueling Complex Overhaul (RCOH), USS RONALD REAGAN (CVN 76) during new

construction, USS ENTERPRISE (CVN 65) during Extended Docking Ship Restricted Availability

(EDSRA), and GEORGE W BUSH (CVN 77) during planning and construction.

Performed final close-out and safety inspections of various machinery rooms and engineering

spaces to identify any safety or performance issues that could affect delivery of the ship.

Provided Engineering design review and analysis to insure that alterations and scheduled

maintenance did not adversely affect the Submarine Safety (SUBSAFE) boundaries of the Main Sea

Water System in 688-Class Submarines.

Developed a list of cleanliness issues pertaining to the Carrier Lube Oil System that was used to

help prevent loss of cleanliness in Carrier Lube Oil Systems during future RCOH availabilities.

Inspected visually over 80 fan rooms for proper fan installation as a part of US NAVY/Newport News

Shipbuilding Auxiliary Team on Builder’s Sea Trials for USS NIMITZ (CVN 68) and USS RONALD

REAGAN (CVN 76). Results were used to confirm repair requirements.

Verified proper operation of Ship’s Hydraulic Steering, Oxygen Nitrogen (O2N2) System, and Anchor

Windlass system in accordance with US NAVY Standards for nuclear ships. Results aided planning

and repair RCOH and new construction initiatives.

US NAVY – PEO Aircraft Carriers, Refueling Complex Overhaul (RCOH)

Determined weight and moment reactions of proposed Engineering Change Proposals (ECPs) for

USS DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER (CVN 69).

Used correct equations along with parametric data of proposed changes.

Improved performance by ensuring that extra weight was not added onboard CVN 69 without

provision for offsetting weight compensation.

Developed list of complete/non-complete Participating Acquisition Resource Manager (PARM)

Action Items by coordinating with various System Engineering Managers (SEMs). The list was used

to track changes in cost and schedule. Results aided the Ship Design Manager (SDM) for RCOH in

completing critical tasks essential for the overhaul in a timely manner.

US NAVY – Supervisor of Shipbuilding (SUPSHIP) (Code 1800)

Developed acquisition strategy for a $40M procurement and retrofit of new propeller design for

CVN68-Class Aircraft Carriers (12 Carriers in class). This strategy was based on the Six-Year

Docking Availability Schedule for Carriers and the propeller manufacturer’s availability schedule.

Acquisition strategy was used by Senior Executives to make informed decisions based on budget

and schedule for the procurement and backfit of new propeller design for CVN68-Class Aircraft

Carriers.

US NAVY – SUPSHIP, Quality Assurance (Code 300)

Ensured quality trade practices by enforcing NAVY construction standards onboard USS NIMITZ

(CVN 68) during RCOH and USS RONALD REAGAN (CVN 76) during new construction.

Performed final closeout inspections of engineering spaces such as shaft alleys, main machinery

rooms, emergency diesel generators, reactor auxiliary rooms, and spin tests on CVN 68, CVN 76,

and CVN 65 in preparation for sea-trials.

Norfolk Naval Shipyard (Engineering Code 250)

Documented corrosion condition of the painted surfaces inside various tank and void spaces

onboard USS GEORGE WASHINGTON (CVN 73) by visually inspecting over 40 tank and void

spaces (e.g. List Control, Damage Control, JP-5 tanks).

Ensured that painted surfaces inside tanks and voids met NAVY performance standards and

specifications.
