Experience

MECHANICAL ENGINEER, TECHNOLOGY SITE PLANNERS, PLAIN CITY OH, 2008-2010

Secured contracts for new work worth $500K in revenue. Served as project

manager, guiding projects from proposal through design, construction, and

close out, Designed HVAC and plumbing systems for mission critical

facilities of varying scope from small telecom closets to large call

centers to entire data center facilities. Provided ongoing engineering

assistance during project construction to respond to contractor and owner

questions, and to address potentially problematic field conditions.

Performed commissioning services for detailed system acceptance testing and

LEED credit requirements.

PROJECT LEAD, WD PARTNERS, DUBLIN OH, 2005-2008

Oversaw, coordinated, and checked the production work of several engineers

across several offices. Coordinated schedules and deliverables with the

client. Trained and mentored engineers across offices. Managed annual

maintenance program for major retail client. Designed HVAC systems and

prepared construction documents for a wide variety of clients, including

retail, petroleum/c-store, restaurant, and grocery. Performed field surveys

to evaluate existing conditions, trouble-shoot complications during

construction, and perform punch list walk-throughs.

MECHANICAL ENGINEER, KORDA/NEMETH ENGINEERING, COLUMBUS OH, 2002-2004

Designed efficient and economical HVAC systems for new and existing

buildings. This was accomplished by performing a heating and cooling load

analysis as well as a building energy analysis to determine the needs of

the building. Evaluated which type of system would best meet the needs of

the building and the client. Selected and specified system components.

Prepared schematics of system design. Performed site visits to evaluate

existing conditions and to monitor construction. Processed shop drawings.

Created punch lists. Expedited permits.

CO-OP ENGINEERING ASSOCIATE, ARINC, OKLAHOMA CITY OK, 2000-2002

Performed a precision and accuracy study of Boeing's MAUS IV eddy current

NDI scanner and conducted a probe characterization study in which the

frequency response of individual eddy current probes was measured and

analyzed. Used this system to quantitatively measure corrosion and to study

corrosion growth rates in 2024-T3 aluminum. Updated technical drawings of

the flap-slat/power drive unit assembly for the B1-Bomber to include new

specifications and standards and to allow for alternative manufacturing

processes. Updated T.O. 15X-1-1, a technical order describing the

maintenance and care of liquid oxygen equipment for use on military

aircraft. Studied the painting system used to coat liquid oxygen converters

and assisted implementation of recommendations that led to improved product

quality and reduced service time. Benchmarked commercial and government

aircraft fleet maintenance schedules, and developed an alternative

maintenance program for the E-3 AWACS fleet.

ENGINEERING INTERN, OKLAHOMA COUNTY ENGINEERING DEPT., OKLAHOMA CITY OK,

1999-2000

Surveyed road sections using a GPS. Wrote a technical manual for using the

GPS system and its software. Drafted, updated, scaled, and corrected local

maps and maps from the U.S. Census Department, as well as the Federal

Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) floodplain maps. Compiled a database

of bridge and road inspection data, and a database of all road construction

projects within the county since statehood.
