Awards
5-Inch artillery cannon, I had participated in a last-minute troubleshooting effort on the Main Gun of an Arleigh-burke class destroyer DDG-63. Although the system was way out of my range of knowledge the electrical section of the equipment is what I understood and was certified to work on. After 4 Hasty hours of troubleshooting, consultations, and repairs I successfully restored the electrical circuit later leading to a successful operational test of the Main Gun.
Projects
-I partnered with General Dynamics to acquire some parts for emergency power equipment that were projected to be updated in 2015 but never got the upgrades. After 2 months of consulting an associate and replacing the power cells of the equipment it is now able to run for a total runtime of 32 emergency run hours compared to its previous 8 emergency run hours at best. Along with saving the U.S Navy 80,000 Dollars in repairable parts for 3 pieces of emergency power equipment the cells stay recharged and are able to be configured for different forms of charging if need be.
