Accomplishments

As a seasoned professional, I had the privilege of spearheading the Century Project—an awe-inspiring endeavor centered around Seattle’s iconic Space Needle. Here’s how my role unfolded:

  • Project Leadership: I assumed the lead position in establishing a dedicated warehouse—a bustling hub where creativity met precision. Our mission? To fabricate and manage the intricate logistics for installing massive 2,400-pound glass panels on the observation level.
  • Innovative Design: Collaborating closely with the team, I co-designed a groundbreaking machine. This marvel of engineering delicately placed those colossal glass panels with surgical precision. Imagine the scene: Seattle’s winter winds, a swaying gantry system, and transparent giants suspended 550 feet above the ground.
  • Budget Mastery: The original budget—$7 million—loomed large. But we weren’t content with mediocrity. Guided by strict schedules (yes, ones I meticulously set), we overperformed. When the dust settled, we’d shaved off a remarkable 200 labor hours, completing the project under budget and ahead of schedule.

This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity humbled me. It’s not every day you witness your passion and expertise materialize into a soaring testament to human capability. The Century Project remains etched in my heart—a shimmering legacy against the Seattle skyline.
