Accomplishments
I was able to put myself through college on my own accord after having bounced back from a near fatal car accident and graduate with a 4.0 #3 in my class.
I was the first and youngest engineer in the U.S to receive FDA certification to work on and implement changes to a pediatric, cardiac life support system during an IDE study for unconditional market approval. I’ve helped over 800 pediatric patients receive ground breaking, state of the art medical treatment through a device which I, as a member of a dedicated engineering team, helped bring to the forefront of the U.S market that gave them all a new chance at life to which otherwise they may not have had.
Worked with team of engineers and technicians on 2 separate large scale oil stabilization
facility construction projects to oversee that all commissioning, calibrating, and
troubleshooting were being performed in accordance with client specs. Worked diligently on one of the largest projects of my career to see that we finished 2 months ahead of schedule and with a perfect safety record.
