SUMMARY OF ACHIEVEMENTS

Consistent record of applying technical leadership and business

solutions to:

. Implement projects within budget, schedule, and customer

quality.

. Reduce costs, cycle time, and defects.

. Provide responsive customer support.

. Lead cross-functional, multi-discipline teams to develop

innovative solutions to complex problems.

. Translate strategic company objectives into detailed tactical

plans and actions.

WORK HISTORY

Project Manager, ABEC, Bethlehem, PA, 2009 to present

. Responsible for all aspects of equipment delivery to domestic

and international clients. Hands on involvement in the

engineering, design, procurement, fabrication, and testing of

fermentors, bioreactors, single use bioreactors, and ultra-

filtration units for food and pharmaceutical manufacturing.

Established reputation for teamwork, responsive customer

support, effective project execution - delivery on time, within

budget, and customer expectations.

. Successfully provided 6 bioreactors (30 to 2000L) to our first

Chinese customer concurrently with the accelerated acquisition

of a China Vessel Manufacturing License. The relationship

established has led to additional projects.

. Delivered six single use bioreactors within budget, ahead of

very fast track 3 month schedule, and with clean acceptance

testing.

Project Engineer, Qimonda, Richmond, VA, 1997 to present

Technical Manager

. Responsible for all engineering and design of $105M

semiconductor production plant. Member of a 7 person team that

self managed design, construction, commissioning, and initial

production ramp in 9 months on schedule and within budget and

quality requirements.

Lead Project Engineer - high-purity water, process cooling water, bulk

and specialty gases, and chemicals

. Led team of 6 in design and construction of 300mm manufacturing

process support systems worth $85M with 20% savings.

Systems Engineer- chemicals, bulk and specialty gases, exhaust,

abatement, slurries

. Formed and led cross-functional teams to achieve savings of $1M

per year plus deferred capacity investment through process

conservation and optimization (high purity water, exhaust, etc.).

. Reduced costs and tool downtime by resolving systemic exhaust

system material reliability issues and failures through alignment

of involved groups (maintenance, construction, test and balance,

manufacturing), revised materials, detailed installation methods,

and focused low cost quality assurance and control program.

. Led final design, installation, and validation of bulk and

specialty gas, slurry and chemical systems within specifications

and schedule.

. Developed production equipment installation and qualification

approach (high purity water, gases, and chemicals) during factory

start-up benchmarked as the low-cost, high-performance model.

. Spearheaded utility capacity database which was key to verifying

systems capability while ramping the production output to over

twice the original design.

. Received Special Recognition Award for saving over $1M by working

closely with customers to qualify an alternate unpurified nitrogen

source.

. Generated, supervised and directed third party quality assurance

and control programs for all manufacturing process support systems

- nearly eliminated failures.

Project Manager and Lead Engineer, Industrial Design Corporation,

Pittsburgh, Pa, 1989 to 1997.

Dominion Semiconductor, Manassas, Va. - 150,000 ft2 cleanroom for DRAM

production.

. Supervised and coordinated 85-person design team on fast track

design build project with a joint venture Japanese/US start-up

company. Led change management process which resulted in a

profitable project.

. Managed design of $30M building retrofit to 95,000 ft2 of

office, lab, and test areas with fixed fee at 4.5% of

construction.

IBM, East Fishkill, NY, Building 322 MiCrus Project - retrofit

design/build projects.

. Executed projects with very limited budget and accelerated

schedules.

. Directed design of 30,000 ft2 chemical mechanical planarization

(CMP) manufacturing area including process flow, tool layout,

oxide and tungsten slurry supply systems, building retrofit, and

tool install.

Digital Equipment Corporation, Hudson, Ma. Fab 6 - 525,000 ft2

microprocessor production facility with 79,000 ft2 of class 1

cleanroom.

. Led 15-member project team in the development, design, and

construction of advanced systems for gases and abatement.

Implemented gas systems design with less than 5% change orders on

$16M fast track project.

BASF, Pittsburgh, Pa.

. Designed pumps and controls to transfer volatile organic feed

chemicals from/to unvented storage and reaction vessels to reduce

fugitive emissions.

Systems Engineer, IBM Corporation, Manassas, Va., 1981 to 1989

. Responsible for High Purity Water systems, worked closely with

involved groups to troubleshoot and optimize the reverse osmosis

operation and maintenance saving $200,000 annually.

. Performed pilot plant testing and developed economical cooling

water reuse system saving $100,000 annually.

. Responsible for industrial wastewater collection and treatment.

Stabilized clarification process through testing and evaluation of

operational parameters.
