I am an outgoing and energetic engineer, seeking an position that best utilizes my vast skill-set.
AccomplishmentsDesigned electronics, and fabricated steel-tube frame for State
University of New York Maritime College's submersible .Awarded American Public Power Association student grant for
development of mesh networked automatic .Designed and fabricated a jig for resurfacing Rolls-Royce
diesel injectors. This saves Cable Ship Dependable, my former
employer, $1,200 every time an injector develops this category
of leak.Prevented an expensive and safety critical problem at Cable
Ship Dependable by uncovering a mismatch in newly installed
substandard hydraulic hoses used in a mission critical towing
winch.Saved the US Navy significant, repeated maintenance costs by
tracing a multi-unit fault in a bank of receivers to a $1
resistor.Developed new troubleshooting procedure, adopted fleet-wide by
US Navy, to keep UNIX-based intelligence collection system
operational longer than previously accepted 24-hour maximum.
This procedure reduced annual down-time throughout entire Navy
fleet by 480 hours per ship.SkillsApplications
