I have more than 17 years experience in design and fabrication of many different types of process equipment including shell and tube heat exchangers, air cool heat exchangers, pressure vessels, F.C.C.U. equipment, Hydrocarbon processing skid modules, and ladders and platforms. I have been a lead on several projects with the responsibilities of training new designers, progressing work load, modeling equipment in 3D with PDS/Frameworks, creating 2D drawings, and overseeing the quality of work performed by other designers. I have worked directly with lead engineers, project managers, and clients to meet project needs.
