In my mechanical engineering role focused on piping systems, I bring expertise in designing, operating, and maintaining systems like main and auxiliary steam, seawater cooling, and lube oil piping. I work closely with contractors to ensure compliance with technical specifications and regulatory standards, leveraging my knowledge of Navy regulations and NAVSEA documentation. My ability to interpret technical drawings and manuals helps me resolve complex issues quickly and accurately. I prioritize clear communication to convey technical details effectively, and I am skilled at independently planning and completing tasks to meet project goals and timelines

• Implemented continuous improvement initiatives to enhance product quality and reduce production costs.
• Prepared technical documentation and reports for project stakeholders and management review
• Provided training and mentorship to junior engineers to enhance their technical skills and professional development

As an outside machinist, I specialize in the assembly, installation, and repair of mechanical systems like propulsion machinery, pumps, and valves. I ensure precise alignment and functionality, following technical specifications. With strong blueprint interpretation skills, I troubleshoot and maintain essential systems, collaborating effectively with engineering teams to ensure reliability and safety

• Properly read addendums and perform all task required to complete package
• Installation of jumpers and spool pieces
• Complete required testing in order to make sure hydraulic piping is up to standard
• Preventive maintenance to ships hydraulic system
• Ability to navigate through drawings and properly identify location of specific items

As a maintenance technician, I troubleshoot, repair, and maintain mechanical and electrical systems to ensure safety and efficiency. Skilled in preventive maintenance and quick diagnostics, I use technical manuals and schematics to resolve issues accurately and minimize downtime. I prioritize safety and clear communication to keep all systems running smoothly

• Maintained a safe work environment by enforcing safety protocols and conducting routine inspections
• Developed and enhanced personnel work instructions to clear up confusion and boost performance
• Recorded and documented all maintenance activities in accordance with company policies and procedures

I have extensive experience in preventive and corrective maintenance across critical shipboard systems, including high and low-pressure air compressors, 200-ton A/C units, refrigeration systems, steering gear, and anchor windlass. My responsibilities included maintaining gage calibrations, overseeing potable water systems, and performing maintenance on main propulsion equipment. I handled parts ordering and tracking, trained sailors in engineering operations, and monitored engine room functions to ensure equipment integrity. I inspected piping for defects, assisted in machinery installations, conducted repairs using a variety of tools, prepared ships for sea trials, and maintained daily logs to document plant operations.

• Maintained a safe work environment by adhering to all company safety protocols and procedures.
• Managed inventory and supplies to ensure continuous operation of machinery and equipment.
• Collaborated with team members to optimize production processes and meet project deadlines.
