SUMMARY OF QUALIFICATIONS

All my years of experience have been in the Mechanical, Piping and Light Structural design and drafting fields. For the last 46 years 90% of my work has been on the computer, 16 years of Microstation, 26 years of AutoCAD and for the last 12 years I have used CADWorx for all my 3D design. For my drawing checking I have used Navisworks and Bluebeam. I have been primarily engaged in the development, design and checking of piping and mechanical systems, walk-down of P&I D’s & existing piping for improving present production or establishing new production sites. As well as Residential Architectural design and drafting, view my website @ (buydesignky.net), I also use Microsoft Office programs for all non-design work. I have spent 25% of my time in the plant working on site to gathering information to take back to the office to complete the design and issue the finished product.
