EMPLOYMENT EXPERIENCE

(Note: I had to work full and part time hours to be able to attend college)

ACADEMY SPORTS & OUTDOORS

Cashier Team Lead (August 2009- Present) & Footwear Associate (August 2008- August 2009)

• Responsible for overseeing all frontend duties (money coming in and going out of the store) and 20 employees

• Assist cashiers with customer problems, and managers with their daily duties

• Assist, acknowledge, and help customers to select footwear and footwear accessories

AUBURN UNIVERSITY

Senior Design Project (January 2011- May 2011)

• Design and optimize a grass-roots facility capable of converting clean methane to syngas via Fischer-Tropsch

Synthesis to produce liquid fuel fractions (i.e. LPG, naphtha and diesel)

• Create a process flowsheet using ASPEN Plus and develop an economic analysis on the overall facility

• Propose design to engineers using a Microsoft Powerpoint presentation and formal report (60+ pages)

Other Projects Worked while in College (August 2008- December 2010)

• Explore the relationship between friction losses and Reynolds number/relative roughness through different

schedule pipes, and compare experimental findings to accepted values for various flowrates

• Examine characteristic pump curves and confirm the affinity laws that relate pump speed to process conditions

using data collected via PumpLab 2.3 software

• Compare qualitative observations to quantitative data obtained by the Ergun and Wen & Yu equations for flow

through a fluidized bed by varying fluid velocity and measuring the corresponding pressure drop

• Tune a PI and PID controller with respect to a constant volume, stirred tank blending system which contained two

input streams and one exit stream using Matlab

• Economically analyze the aspects of producing dimethyl ether at a plant which consisted of research,

calculations, and economic predictions as well as sizing and pricing equipment based upon given data

• Examine a process for producing vinyl chloride and design a heat exchanger network where a comparison of the

actual versus theoretical implementation could be analyzed using ASPEN Plus software

• Examine a double-effect evaporator set-up designed to investigate the effect of steam pressure on the rate of

evaporation
