SUMMARY:

A fundamental industrial basis was developed through working in the

construction crafts and oil field maintenance. The theory of this basis

was developed while achieving degrees in chemistry and electrical

engineering and masters program in control systems.

Projects I have led range from concept development, front end engineering

and design, detailed design, construction, commissioning, startup and

maintenance. I have led programs through innovative development,

marketing, and production. Modeling methods I have used include simple

spreadsheets, dynamic scheduling, 3D geometric, decision trees and

influence diagrams, finite element analysis, computational fluid dynamics,

dynamic systems, and constrained nonlinear optimization of dynamic and

sequential systems for design and control.

I have coordinated multiple disciplines in multi-cultural environments on

small projects to multi-billion dollar projects. I have developed

business, developed and managed estimates and budgets, identified and

managed risks, controlled costs, coordinated manpower loading, products

and processes, and managed client expectations through regular, pointed

communication.
