I have experience in Project Management, Maintenance, Operations, and Manufacturing environments. My knowledge is
blended with hands-on experience, and good people skills. I worked with high-pressure gases, cryogenic liquids, steam, hot oil,
water, and HVAC systems, improving processes and cutting costs. I provided training, mentoring, quality assurance, and
engineering documentation / change orders. I also wrote procedures, work instructions, documented discrepancies and necessary
repairs.
