I specialize in the structural design of structures for municipal and industrial clients with a focus on practical constructability and functional client communication.
I work with clients to design and engineer unique structural solutions for a wide array of mining and industrial needs including power plants, chemical facilities, water treatment structures, mines, food production plants, metal furnace and recycling centers, and other facilities.
My work at Sunrun changes frequently in order to best address the needs of a rapidly growing company. I managed a number of crucial responsibilities on our team. - My primary role is currently compiling and streamlining the analysis tools and policies that Vivint Solar and Sunrun's engineering teams have used. This involves hundreds of processes and millions of data points that must be reconciled in order to make the company more efficient through the company aquisition. - In addition to the engineering tool management, I also manage the structural technical training. In this position, I ensure that multiple teams, totaling over 100 engineering team member, have the capability and knowledge to accurately identify and address damage or overstressed members in a structure, as well as other structural issues. Our team must review and process drawings, calcs, and upgrades for over 500 structures daily that are located in any of the 23 states where the company is located. - I also study building codes in depth and create a wide variety of structural calculations to analyze any aspect of our projects and ensure we are able to satisfy local building codes across 23 states. - My other responsibility includes personally reviewing the most technical and complex accounts, often creating new upgrades and calculations for specific projects with unique issues.
I spent just over 2 years at Vivint Solar before the company was purchased by Sunrun
I supported the research and technical laboratory needs for the Civil Engineering Department by designing and creating research projects that would be able to test material properties which professors wanted to analyze. - In this position I operated MIG welders, backhoes, forklifts, actuators (up to 4000 kip capacities), pneumatic machinery, and a wide array of other construction tools in order to construct research projects. - Research projects included innovative steel frame seismic connections, self-consolidating concrete, timber-frame pin connections, masonry shear walls, and composite rebar for concrete columns.
