Key skills and knowledge areas:

• Experienced installer of food grade sanitary process pipe, equipment and systems. Eight years of

experience in the food and beverage industry as a foreman/ pipe fitter/ sanitary welder.

• Solid command of technical programs used for providing engineering drawings and P&ID’s in both

AutoCAD and Solid Works.

EDUCATION

University of Utah BS in Mechanical Engineering (BSME), 2007- 2012

EIT Exam Passed (Fundamentals of Engineering NCEES 2011)

Senior Design Project (2011- 2012): Wave Energy Technology Development

The purpose of this project was to develop a means of extracting a viable means of clean energy out the

natural motions created by ocean waves. We developed a buoyant mechanism that was able to trace the

elliptical path lines that were generated by the ocean wave motion. The energy that was extracted from

the wave by a mechanical means was then transferred to pneumatic pressure differential. A few of my

personal contributions are as follows:

• Created models and performed simulations using Solid Works.

• Developed a method of converting the energy from the mechanical domain to the pneumatic domain.

WORK EXPERIENCE

Alstom Transportations Mechanical Engineer, 2012 to Present

In this position I worked as the Mechanical Engineer that was in charge of the structural integrity of

Green Line streetcar project. This required that I write and designate repair procedures, working

instructions and AutoCAD shop drawing for the overhaul of the 30 year old streetcars. The design

drawings and calculations that I prepared were sent to a senior consultant engineer for review prior to

their approval. All my designs and calculations were done in accordance with the current American

Standards for workmanship on Rail Road vehicles as found in AAR and AWS, Association of American

Railroad and American Welding Society respectfully, standards. This position also required direct

communication with the customer over CDRLs (Contract Data Requirement List) where I would be

required to give a technical explanation about the approach that we would be implementing on a given

design.

Sanitary Process Piping Industry 2004-2012

I learned how to sanitary purge weld from my father who has worked in this industry for over 35 years.

Over my eight years of experience I have learned how sanitary process systems work and I have a solid

understanding of the installation side of the business which I would like to expand to the engineering

side.
