PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

WORLEYPARSONS, Folsom, CA Sep 2007 - Jun 2010

Energy and resources company supporting the power, hydrocarbon,

infrastructure and mining industries.

Senior Engineer: Responsibilities includes interpreting raw water

chemistry, creating a conceptual design, calculating water balances, mass

balances and waste characterization, generate system drawings and

equipment specifications.

. Prepared/reviewed conceptual design of water and wastewater treatment

systems, developed conceptual process flow diagrams based on source-

water chemistry, assembled cost estimates to compare alternative

designs, and prepared detailed water treatment equipment

specifications.

. Evaluated alternate water supply sources and alternate water and

wastewater treatment designs using computer models to design systems

with minimum water usage without compromising integrity due to

precipitation of low-solubility species or corrosion from aggressive

water chemistries.

. Supported plant licensing by writing sections of the Application for

Certification describing water treatment systems and discussing

potential alternatives. Generated water balances and mass balances to

model proposed and alternative power plant water treatment systems.

. Performed projects for commercial nuclear power plants and DOE's

Nevada Test Site (NTS). These include modeling the effects of various

water sources for the cooling water for two nuclear plant, redesigning

the steam cycle hydrazine feed system to ensure continuous

operability, and supporting a QA review of documents in preparation

for a DOE Operational Readiness Review.

. Performed water treatment studies for non-nuclear power plants and

provided recommendations to clients having specific water treatment

issues.

OCULUS INNOVATIVE SCIENCES, Petaluma, CA Feb 2004 - Sep 2007

Medical Device company that develops and manufactures products intended

to prevent and treat infections in chronic and acute wounds.

Senior R&D Engineer: Only site engineer from 2004-07. Responsible for

engineering and maintenance.

. Supported the design, construction, testing and QA required

documentation of a new manufacturing machine to enable the company to

perform Phase II clinical testing.

. Wrote manufacturing, analytical chemistry and bottling Work

Instructions (procedures). Wrote Preventative Maintenance procedures,

Deviations, Corrective/Preventative Actions (CAPAs), Validations

(IQ/OQ/PQ), and Non-Conformance Reports (NCMRs). Supported the

technical writing for the Chemistry and Manufacturing Controls (CMC)

document, and DFMECA and PFMECA documents (Design and Process Failure

Mode Effects and Criticality Analyses).
