Qualifications
Having 4 years of experience in aviation related fields with being trained in communications, radar, and navigational equipment. I served 4 years as a senior communications technician in the Marine corps which broadened my range in electronics and learning to use programmable logic controllers. I then implemented a new training program to train new marines on electronic and radar equipment, which halved the qualification process time. In the role as quality engineering technician at Centro Inc. I was part of a group in which assisted in changing the flow of materials to increase productivity. I was also given the opportunity to be a technician to help the VA hospital in Augusta GA, to more efficiently distribute and document electronically medications given to patients. Lastly when Covid-19 started back in March 2020 I volunteered to be a Team Lead at Battelle to lead several teams with Covid decontamination helping first responders and hospitals to have sufficient PPE that was in short supply.

Relevant Experience
Gas Control Engineer Supervisor & LNG (Eversource): I independently am responsible for providing oversight, authorization to proceed, and supervision for the gas system, ensuring safe and reliable flows, pressures, volumes, odorization rates, and other specified parameters while operating the Company Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition System (SCADA). I also forecasted and dispatched LNG for the three Eversource LNG Plants as well as directed LNG plant personnel to cool down, send-out, and secure the vaporization of LNG and would monitor LNG activity that could impact system operations during liquefaction and vaporization during respected season. Lastly I also have help set up an entire LNG facility in the field from housing the LNG to transport of LNG to at the end having vaporizers set specifically with Glycol mixture to then heat up the LNG to send into the system.
Electrical Engineer (HDR Engineering). To identify transformers and know their type, identify panels, safety switches, enclosed circuit breakers, and other types of electrical service equipment, count lights and identify light types, identify generators and their type, and identify UPS systems. I then currently take all the data gathered and insert it inside a program that the army corps of engineers and US government use to allocate money to certain buildings we assess.
Test Engineer (Battelle). Supporting senior test engineers in test planning, data collection, analysis, and test reporting. Conducted non-intrusive inspection and physical security applications, command & control integration, operations research, statistics, electrical/mechanical engineering, systems handling and the insertion of test articles, observation of system/component performance, and application of various technical tools and equipment to conduct testing.
Traveling Engineering Technician (Howard Medical Ind.). The aims of this project were to work as an individual to make sure medical carts sent to VA are properly maintained and working within engineering specifications. With the use of schematics to I was able to ensure equipment was installed correctly and maintain that preventative maintenance is up to date. I would also install or update the product to meet the customers need for the medical carts which ranged from updating the mechanical workings of the cart all the way to selecting the way to how medication was dispensed.
Quality Engineering Technician (Centro Inc.). Used tools to perform preventive maintenance on pieces of equipment to make sure that parts manufactured are within engineering specifications. Used measurement tools to assure the products coming off the line met specifications. Performed lean practices in areas which needed improvement on the manufacturing floor to increase flow and productivity. Lastly used PLC programming to help designate certain tools in the manufacturing process to be used on John Deere Harvester equipment products and ensure they meet quality standards.
Air traffic control communications and radar technician (USMC). Air traffic control communications technicians survey, site, and install air traffic control communications systems. Inspect and perform preventive maintenance for proper operation. Diagnose and repair faults. Provide technical assistance during system flight inspections. Maintain diagnostic tapes, tools, support, and test equipment. Process and pack system components for storage or shipment, load operational software, tune, adjust, and align systems for proper operation. Diagnose and isolate malfunction to the fault, remove and replace the fault; and verify that the malfunction has been corrected. Participate in and provide technical assistance during system flight inspections.
