House Renovation (4/2019 – Current)

Designed and performed all work for the following: kitchen renovation, window and door replacements, HVAC (unit sizing and install, ductwork, and electrical), attic insulation, bathroom renovation, roof tearoff and replacement, fencing/soundwall. EnviroCare, International, American Canyon, CA (4/2016 – 4/2019) Project Engineer

Membrane Technology and Research, Inc., Menlo Park, CA (1/2002 – 3/2016) Project Engineer and Pressure Equipment Engineer

Performed field service for the following: venturi scrubber startup and maintenance stack testing, gas sampling to monitor mercury scrubber performance, and spray cooling system maintenance.

●

● Developed API650 and API620 compliance rules for scrubber vessels. Coordinated AWS D1.6 and ASME Section IX welder qualifications for scrubber vessels and piping.

●

Assisted in prilling tower conceptual scrubber design including preliminary fabrication drawings, quotations, and CFD modeling.

●

● Assisted in design of multi-stage venturi scrubber for fertilizer plants. Designed quick-opening scrubber manway doors for several standard sizes. Used FEA to optimize designs; built and leak-tested a prototype to verify design. Doors were implemented into several scrubber vessels.

●

● Wrote passivation standard to prevent weld area corrosion in stainless steel scrubber. Designed and supervised the fabrication of a twin cyclone separator with tungsten carbide lining used in the removal of abrasive particulates from a bagasse boiler exhaust.

●

Designed and supervised the fabrication of a spray cooling system for a cement plant Gas Cooling Tower.

●

Designed packaged piping membrane gas separation systems using 3-D modeling

(Solidworks)

●

(Solidworks).

Designed Pressure Vessels for projects per ASME Section VIII Div.1 given seismic, marine, wind and piping loads. Performed finite element analysis on pressure vessels and heat exchangers.

●

● Reviewed project specifications for project quote phase, and project compliance.

● Reviewed vessel drawings and calculations for approval for all company projects.

● Specified and sized all system components per company or client specifications.

● Designed all piping for projects per ASME B31.3 including flexibility analysis.

● Structural design and analysis per AISC.
