Work History

Quality Assurance Engineer & Automation Lead

Envent Corporation
01.2024 - Current

I lead all automation and control system projects for Envent, overseeing electrical hardware design, PLC programming, HMI configuration, VFD and instrumentation integration, and IIoT connectivity using Modbus TCP, MQTT, and Microsoft Power Platform tools. In executing these projects, I direct multi-trade fabrication teams—including pipe fitters, welders, and electricians—through the complete build and installation of electrical automation packages for thermal oxidizers, vapor control systems, and gas compression equipment. These initiatives have improved system reliability, enabled real-time cloud monitoring, and ensured all installations meet NEC, NFPA, and ASME standards. In parallel, I have been instrumental in building the company’s first comprehensive QA/QC framework—developing multiple ANSI 9001-formatted procedures, implementing a centralized document control system, and deploying a preventative maintenance management platform. I also manage the compliance department, leading a team of three in compiling environmental logs, performing calculations, and delivering regulatory reports to clients and the EPA.I lead all automation and control system projects for Envent, directing multi-trade fabrication teams—including pipe fitters, welders, and electricians—through the complete build and installation of electrical automation packages for thermal oxidizers, vapor control systems, and gas compression equipment.
