PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY

Extensive experience in Mechanical Engineering

Highly skilled in concept & detailed design of complex technology and machinery

Surface and Subsea Drilling, Production & Control Systems and Equipment

Power Plants, Stress and Strain Analysis

Testing and Implementation, R&D, Innovations

Hydraulic and Pipeline Installations

As a Senior Mechanical Engineer with Shaffer-Varco, I launched the subsea design and implementation of a new 4th generation MUX

(electro-hydraulic) system and an oil field pressure control drilling equipment. I continued my focused subsea experience with Kvaerner Oilfield Products Inc., Hydra Rig, and ABB Lummus Global where I was highly involved in engineering, design, implementation & testing of complex subsea production and control systems, subsea distribution systems & terminations, and hydraulic & pipe lines. As a Senior Mechanical Engineer with Noble Drilling Services Inc., I led and was directly responsible for 3-D Modeling design and FEA, documentation, initial testing & production of a new leading-edge generation of aluminum ultra deep water riser system & components and structural & mechanical upgrades on the entire Noble Drilling fleet of drillships, semisubmersibles & jack-ups.
