PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
Jacobs Technology/NASA/Southern University, New Orleans, LA
October 2009 - Present
ENTRY LEVEL ENGINEER
* Successfully developed, organized & implemented a system to bring NASA's (Mich
oud Facility) signage and safety issues up to OSHA and ANSI standards.
* As part of a team, successfully developed a chemical handling & storage system
for the NASA Facility.
* Assisted with an energy and water conservation audit in accordance with DOE au
dit guidelines. The audit included but was not limited to evaluations of HVAC te
mperature control system sequence of operation, boiler efficiency analysis, chil
ler efficiency analysis, lighting system recommendation, steam distribution syst
ems, primary and tertiary chilled water pumping systems, domestic hot water syst
ems, etc.
* Helped develop electronic overlay drawings of HVAC and lighting systems to dep
ict floor plan areas served in the facilities. The HVAC plans included the desig
n CFM, number of zones, cooling and heating coil capacities.
* Developed architectural drawings of an executive building on NASA's site, to s
olve HVAC problems, caused by lack of air handlers per zone and the wall configu
ration.

DPW (Department of Public Works), Baton Rouge, LA June 2009

- August 2009
STUDENT INTERN
* Organized and generated CAD illustrations of the city's sewage system.
* Organized common data into a centralized location for easy access.
* Developed concepts on how employees can maximize their time and productivity.
Special Projects, Baton Rouge, LA
January 2009 - July 2009
INDEPENDENT RESEARCHER
* Researched microwave metal casting processes.
* Researched and documented various casting processes to determine time and ener
gy efficiency.
* Conducted an experiment to test the quality of the material after the casting
processes were completed and the energy used in the melting phase of the process
, to determine which process was the most efficient.

ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENTS
Senior Design, Baton Rouge LA - Huntsville, Alabama
August 2008 - April 2009
DESIGN ENGINEER
* Developed Moon Buggy concepts for the annual NASA Great Moon Buggy Race compet
ition. Our team placed 16th out of 44 schools primarily due to budget and time c
onstraints placed upon us. It was an attempt to give us a real world scenario w
ith a budget approximately 50% - 80% below the other competing universities.
* Organized various team activities ranging from teamwork meetings, centered aro
und cohesiveness and productivity, to test sessions, where we tested the Moon Bu
ggy on a variety of roads.
* Led design team in the building process.
* Responsible for evaluating each team member's abilities and delegating respons
ibilities according to each member's strength.
