Work History

Mechanical Engineer

Campos EPC (Contractor for SoCalGas)
Anaheim, CA
04.2023 - Current
  • Reviewed pipeline segments and associated documentation within Sempra’s High Pressure Pipeline Database (HPPD) to determine if the existing information meets the traceable, verifiable and complete (TVC) requirements outlined in Sempra’s Gas Standard 167.0200.
  • Utilized Bluebeam Revu to annotate and compile As-Builts, Completion Sets, Test Charts, Design Data Sheets, Bill of Materials, etc. into binders showcasing TVC attributes and documentation for each pipeline segment.
  • Conducted QA/QC on team’s research to ensure compliance with TVC standards, Sempra standard, and 49 CFR 192.
  • Went through the process of setting up Plant 3D projects in order to create models and orthos with the appropriate files per SCG design drafting requirements.
  • Utilized Civil3D in order to create KMZ files from Plant3D drawings. Also created KMZ files from Plant3D CAD files and assigned geocoordinate locations whenever missing.
  • Worked on HCA Methane Project & created KMZ files for Field Engineers to utilize while out in the field.
  • KMZ files analyzed high consequence areas, transmission & distribution pipelines, as well wind direction in order to find the most optimal placement for sensors to detect gas leaks.

  • Created 3D models and technical drawings to the customer's specifications.
  • Ensured design integrity by cleaning up SolidWorks assembly mates, resolving external reference issues, incorporating the correct fasteners and minimizing potential design conflicts.

Mechanical Engineer

Zume Inc.
Camarillo, CA
01.2022 - 03.2023
  • Created 3D models and assemblies to meet specific design goals.
  • Generated detailed drawings complete with BOM and sought out vendors for manufacturability.
  • Reverse engineered 3rd party components in order to catalogue in PDM servers for future projects.
  • Prepared design revisions and improvements for existing parts, enhancing functionality and manufacturability based on our print farm's capabilities.
  • Created Laser cutting programs & fixtures which maintenance workers could easily &safely run with minimal supervision.
  • Wrote and revised maintenance/work procedures.

3D Print Technician

Zume Inc.
Camarillo, CA
08.2021 - 03.2023
  • Managed a small team to help run & operate a fleet of different 3D printers to produce hundreds of parts per day.

Manufacturing Lead

SAE Aero Senior Design
Northridge, CA
04.2019 - 05.2020
  • Participated in an international year-long aero design competition revolving around carrying the highest payload possible, while simultaneously pursuing the lowest empty weight possible.
  • Used Solidworks to design both main aircraft and colonist delivery aircrafts.
  • Using various slicing software, accounted for the integration of 3D printed components and analyzed the best infill percentage to maintain the most optimal strength-to-weight ratio.
  • Managed the assimilation of materials, design and avionic components in order to meet weight restrictions.
  • Used Fusion 360 to manufacture wing and fuselage components on a 3 axis CNC mill.
