Los Angeles / Orange County, CA
Mechanical Engineer.
Field Problem Solver.
Mechanical engineer with hands-on field installation experience, moving deeper into HVAC and electrical trade work. Background includes piping systems support and RFI coordination on an active semiconductor fab campus, equipment troubleshooting in high-volume operations, and mechanical integration work for a competitive hyperloop pod build.
Skills
A practical mix of engineering documentation, field measurement, installation, troubleshooting, and coordination. Somehow, useful skills survived the paperwork ecosystem.
Documentation and Coordination
Other
Experience
Field installation, operations troubleshooting, semiconductor construction support, and prototype integration.
Custom residential and commercial fencing
- Installed wood, chain link, wrought iron, and vinyl fencing, laying out and measuring each site before work started.
- Set posts and poured concrete footings to spec, handling material and keeping work sequenced on site.
- Fabricated custom fence components when standard materials did not fit, using hand and power tools daily.
- Solved layout and material problems on the spot, working around grade changes, utility lines, and tight property lines.
High-volume equipment operations
- Operated and troubleshot wash equipment including vacuums, pumps, hoses, tunnel emitters, and conveyor systems during live shifts.
- Trained new crew members, promoted to supervisor within three weeks, and flagged for management track by week seven.
- Caught and escalated OSHA compliance issues, tracking corrective action through to resolution.
- Reorganized stockroom and chemical storage, helping push the facility inspection score to 95 out of 100.
Semiconductor fab piping systems support
- Supported piping systems work for process cooling water, vacuum lines, and scrubber piping across multiple levels of an active semiconductor fab campus.
- Tracked RFIs and kept design, field, and vendor teams coordinated so installation schedules stayed on pace.
- Reviewed engineering drawings and checked field installations against design documents inside a live clean room.
- Kept documentation airtight to meet the zero-defect standard the job required.
SpaceX Hyperloop Pod Competition
- Supported mechanical integration work for rLoop's entry in the SpaceX Hyperloop Pod Competition, working with engineering contributors spread across multiple countries.
- Coordinated vendor communication, material procurement, and event prep for the prototype build.
Education
Engineering foundation, field-tested by actual dirt, concrete, fab drawings, and the universe’s refusal to be convenient.
