WORK EXPERIENCE
U.S. Department of Commerce, Census Bureau
Enumerator from March 2010 to May 2010
- Worked with the general public and Census Bureau staff to compile population information.
EDG (Engineering Development Group) Consulting Engineers Inc. in Houston, TX
Facilities Engineer position from May 2006 to March 2009
- Worked on three major projects on engineering oil platforms.
- Major clients (Chevron, Vietsovpetro)
- Hysys simulations for crude oil separation. Used Hysys to design process to separate crude oil into its components. Material balances were double-checked in Excel.
- Request for Quotation Binders created to accumulate information from vendors.
Communicated among vendors to compare both technical information, as well as pricing
for vendor items (such as valves, pumps, safety equipment, etc.). Worked with procurement to make purchases.
- Used Process & Instrumentation Diagrams to make the following indexes and data sheets:
(1) Manual valve list and Manual Valve Data Sheets (In-Tools and Excel)
(2) Instrumentation list and Instrumentation Data Sheets (In-Tools and Excel)
(3) SP Item list and SP Item data sheets (In-Tools and Excel)
- Mentored interns on how to read, check, and update Process & Instrumentation Diagrams.
- Vent boom radiant heat analysis. Calculated radiant heat exposure using Stefan-
Boltzmann’s law with emissivity value of 0.9 (justified with literature) in case of an
accidental vent gas ignition. Used American Petroleum Institute standards to set safety
requirements for personnel.
- Mafumeira KWIP tie-in photos. Used P&IDs to create a photographic journal of an
oil platform’s piping system to reduce traveling to Angola, Africa.
- Fluid flow calculations across control valves. While taking into consideration: volumetric
flow, velocity, density, etc., determined optimal valve size. Each valve datasheet was
inspected by three engineers before approval.
- Heat transfer analysis for an extremely cold fluid flowing through piping. Calculated
fluid temperature traveling down a pipe (with Joule-Thomson cooling) in
Excel. Considered 2-D finite difference to account for ice formation; however this approach was not done due to business ineffectiveness.
- Densities of pipe lines at worst case scenarios. With the consideration of a safety factor, a commodity sized pipe was chosen considering both pipe size and schedule.
- Thermowell vibration calculations. Calculated the ratio of wake to natural frequencies
for thermowells.
- Analysis of electrical load required for heat tracing of piping.
Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company in Fort Worth, TX
Materials Division. Fall 2004
- Electrical bonding for Aircraft. Leaded a team of both fulltime engineers and hourly-paid
union workers, that built and tested prototype parts to control electrical flow from a
lightning strike for the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter. Kept a journal and wrote a report to
justify expenses.
- Tensile testing at -65 F. Tensile testing done for small aircraft parts with liquid nitrogen to determine robustness of the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter in frigid temperatures.
- Chemical coatings for fuel containers. With respirator, spray painted fuel container parts.
U. S. Department of Energy, Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque, NM
Multiphase Transport Processes Department. (Summer 2003, 2002, 2001; respectively)
- Modeling the Performance of Thermal Batteries using an Idealized Model. Programming
was in C++. Developed finite element model to predict reactions in thermal batteries to
reduce the cost of testing. Wrote technical paper and presented PowerPoint presentation.
- Modeling the Performance of Thermal Batteries using a Semi-Empirical Model.
Programming was in FORTRAN. Presented PowerPoint presentation.
- Modeling the LIGA micro fabrication process. Altered parameters of executable program to
simulate the fabrication process for nanotechnology-sized gears. Wrote technical paper and presented PowerPoint presentation.
Texas A&M University, Dept. of Mechanical Engineering
- Research Assistant Spring 2005-Fall 2005, Spring 2004-Summer 2004
Research for Master’s Thesis. Summary available upon request.
- Teaching Assistant for an introductory materials science course (ENGR 213) for Fall
2003 with two sections of 90 students each. Taught and performed laboratory experiments. Graded assignments, laboratory reports, and quizzes. Administered
staff help desk.
