S/D Engineers / Siemens, Pittsburgh, pa

June 2006 - November 2009

Designer /Drafter

Lead detailer /designer utilizing Microstation XM to create, cut, and

produce detailed annotated drawings by accessing the 3D models of the coal-

fired power plant's process piping systems.

Lead detailer /designer utilizing Microstation V8 to create, design,

detail, layouts, and verify Ortho's, Sectionals, and Elevations.

Responsible for creating detailed drawings for all the coal-fired power

plant's pipe systems runs. Responsible for designing, detailing, and

verifying pipe supports for fabrication. Also responsible for checking pipe

support submittals from vendors for verification.

Lead detailer / designer utilizing Autocad 8 to produce complete isometric

piping systems drawings so that 3D models could be produced to verify and

check all piping systems for steel mills and coal fired power plants.

Lead detailer / designer utilizing Autocad 8 to do hydraulic runs, bio-

diesel fuel plant layout, steel plant equipment and facility layouts, and

Eaton / Cutler-Hammer, Pittsburgh, PA

September 1995 - December 2003

Designer /Drafter

Lead designer for the prototype concepts and layouts of the new arc-

resistant switchgear equipment for 5/15kV, 27kV and 38kV. Also

participated on the team that performed the actual arc testing at KEMA labs

in Chalfont, PA, which successfully approved the equipment for both UL and

CSA certification, and released the product to the market for sale.

Lead designer for the prototype concepts and layouts of the new arc duct.

This is a secured enclosure placed on top of switchgear cabinets to

properly vent and disperse potential hazardous gases and particles,

preventing them from being released into the air during an arcing of the

equipment (can be applied at 15kV, 27kV and 38kV). Successfully tested and

certified at 15kV.

Created 3D models for detailing and prototyping of conceptual, new, and

modified designs on assemblies and their layouts for manufacturing.

Created 3D models and layouts applying both value engineering and lean

engineering principles. New product research, design and development.

Generated parts list and bill of materials and entered them into the

corporate database. Generated models for low voltage busway runs and their

various voltage configurations. Generated models for new load centers and

their various configurations.

Patents

United States Patent: Automatically operating interlock assembly requiring

an electrical cabinet to be closed before connection of the equipment

therein.

United States Patent Application: Apparatus for securing a door of an arc-

resistant switchgear cabinet.

United States Patent Submissions: Secured enclosure placed on top of the

switchgear cabinets to properly vent and disperse potential hazardous gases

and particles, preventing them from being released into the air during an

Awards received

Innovation And Quality Award: 2-high arc resistant medium voltage

switchgear design Recognizing employees' innovative ideas, solutions and

significant achievements that contribute to the success of Eaton.

Technology & Quality Center Employee Quality Appreciation Program: The MVS

Arc team was challenged to keep two KEMA testing facilities cells running

in parallel. The team had to run a total of 12 tests on the new concept

5/15kv Arc Duct placed on of arc resistant switchgear to see if it would

ventilate and contain possible hazardous gasses and particles. The tests

was a complete success.

Technology & Quality Center Employee Quality Appreciation Program: Extra

effort awarded for the individual effort conducted to put together the

Emergency Response Team and CPR and AED certification program.
