Capable First Assistant Engineer with solid foundation in engineering and technical operations. Proven track record in supporting complex machinery and systems to ensure optimal performance. Demonstrated ability to troubleshoot issues effectively and maintain operational efficiency through teamwork and problem-solving.
I currently have 385 sea days of experience sailing First Assistant on the Matson Kodiak. Learning the ship better each time, I have gotten experience working with contractors during layup period. Running main engine work jobs that include: piston pulls, main bearing inspections, exhaust valve change and overhauls, and many others. As well as managing the crew with training, routine operations, and maintenance procedures.
I had the opportunity to work on the Matson Kodiak after upgrading my licennse. I enjoyed all of the crew and the engine room. I continued to stay in touch with the ship and kept coming back each opportunity.
After joining MEBA, I worked as Third assistant on multiple tankers and bulk carriers. Learning different engine room systems and safety culture.
