INTRODUCTION / BACKGROUND
I have 15 years of design and detailed design experience with focus specific to offshore drilling & production rigs. My experience in this field includes, but is not limited to, drill ships, semisubmersibles, jack ups, structural, and drilling systems using various versions of AutoCad. Most of my experience has been structural, however, over the past 5 years I have gained piping experience as well, such as P&IDs, PFDs, 3D modeling, ISOs, and rig walk downs for piping upgrades and routing new systems. I also have experience using Catia V5 and Autodesk Inventor.
In addition to my work experience, I have completed and was certified in CADWorx Plant Professional 2015 by Plant Design Solutions, completed a Solidworks Essentials class at MLC CAD, and have completed PDMS Piping & Equipment training at Aveva.
