WIJMA (Wood I-Joist Manufacturers Association) procedure for

calculating the composite EI of I-Joists with structural

plywood attached

Design of truss hanger connections

Design of cost-effective truss repairs

Experience reviewing metal plated wood truss designs for roof

and floor systems in coordination with a truss plan layout to

verify that loads are accurately applied and accounted for

within the truss system.

Analytical Developed various in-depth testing plans and procedures to

Planning, check VIEW software engineering analysis for desired output

Testing and to ensure that it is performing as expected

Data Produced various engineering specifications to add new

Processing features and functionalities to VIEW software

Skills Created various complex spreadsheets that analyze complicated

structural situations using Microsoft Excel to facilitate

engineering design

Used Microsoft Access to create material databases for use

with VIEW software

Developed and implemented a system to produce truss plan

layouts using IntelliCAD software (also experienced with

AutoCAD software)

Project Balanced multiple high priority projects on a daily basis

Management Recognized the need for, initiated, implemented, and oversaw

Skills the management of new projects

Communication Effectively communicated ideas, information and problems to

Skills software programmers, software testers, engineers, and sales

people on a daily basis

Worked collaboratively with software programmers and

engineers to come to creative solutions for engineering and

software problems

Trained engineers and drafters on various processes

Communicated with customers to solve truss design problems,

and provide answers to engineering and software related

questions and concerns

Education B.S. in Mechanical Engineering, 2003

University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida

E.I. License

P.E. License in progress

Special courses taken in Aircraft Propulsion, HVAC (HVAC

system design and selection, load calculations and duct

design), and Engineering Consulting Practices

Participated in IPPD (Integrated Product and Process

Development) program;

Our team, Ultimate Flight, was sponsored by Lockheed Martin

Missiles and Fire Control in Orlando, Florida. We designed a

telescoping wing extension for a UAV/UCAV (unmanned aerial

vehicle / unmanned combat aerial vehicle).
