Résumé

+ RECORD

I'm a mechanical engineer who likes systems that have to actually hold up — whether that's a gas pipeline rated to CFR 192.917, a $50MM portfolio of utility projects, or a PLC-driven machine built on a kitchen table. My background spans heavy infrastructure and hands-on mechatronics, moving comfortably between AutoCAD drawings and breadboard circuits.

Professional Experience

Staff Professional I

Gas Transmission System Inc. — a Kleinfelder Company

Aug 2022 — Current

Team leadership & QC: Led and trained an engineering team performing quality checks on DTE Op Diagram and Health Score submittals, managing the process end-to-end for 100% alignment with current standards.
Workflow optimization: Developed standardized symbols and presets for Op Diagram workflows, then scaled the tool team-wide — cutting average completion time by 67%.
Infrastructure design: Collaborated with major utility clients (PG&E, SDG&E, SMUD, NiSource, and others) to design and reconstruct natural gas and electrical infrastructure.
Scale of delivery: Designed 100,000+ feet of piping and executed 1,000+ tie-ins; engineered meter replacements for 5,000+ gas services.
Compliance: Performed MAOP validation and structural risk modeling per CFR 192.917, with a documentation rigor that carries directly into aerospace standards like DO-160G.
AI tooling: Optimized a Microsoft Azure-based AI tool (DIP) to process 16 documents/second, improving the speed and accuracy of data extraction.

Project Engineer

Broadway Mechanical Contractors, Inc.

Aug 2021 — Aug 2022

Project delivery: Delivered four ground-up residential and hotel developments valued up to $15MM, managing full lifecycles from planning through execution — on time and under budget.
Design coordination: Built accurate engineering cost estimates for design-build and bid-spec projects and supervised cross-functional teams to protect design integrity.
Financial control: Negotiated change orders and validated invoices across a $15MM portfolio, maintaining strict budget adherence through schedule-of-values management.
Procurement: Ensured 100% material availability for complex mechanical systems through vendor management and technical review of sub-trade quotations.
Emergency response: Spearheaded recovery of a $5MM development during a flood event and project-manager absence — stood up real-time stakeholder communications, qualified on-site equipment for safety and throughput, reordered long-lead materials, and prevented a major schedule slip.

Control Systems Engineer Intern

PHILD — Personal Hygiene Instant Liquid Dispenser, CSU Chico

2020 — 2021

Electromechanical design: Designed and manufactured low-voltage electromechanical systems and control components for a sustainable vending machine.
Systems integration: Performed structural sizing and stress analysis on component mounts; integrated a closed-loop system with stepper drivers, relays, and sensors.
PLC programming: Designed and built modular PLC systems and wrote software to automate the dispensing process.
Validation: Built automated test tools and ran Design of Experiments (DOE) to validate the system; analyzed multi-variable sensor data to optimize performance.
Rapid prototyping: Applied DFM/DFA and tolerance analysis to 3D-printed component replacements for scalable, lower-cost manufacturing.
