Summary
An Engineer at Analysis & Measurement Services in Knoxville, TN for the past three years, where my time is divided between travel, SBIR funded R&D work, and proposal writing to expand the company’s core business. The travel has consisted of 17 nuclear sites and over 20 fossil and gas turbine generator plants. I have acquired five years of engineering experience through two years of internships and three with my current company. My strong suits are communication, low level technical work in nuclear and fossil power, management, and an exceptional drive to excel.

“Nuclear Engineer”
General Responsibilities:
• Conducted transmitter response time testing at the Advanced Test Reactor in the Idaho National Lab by utilizing a multi-million dollar SBIR for extending services to Research and Test Reactors.
• Conducted in-situ rod drop, CRDM, cross calibration, RTD and transmitter response time testing at: McGuire, Ginna, Salem, Catawba, Braidwood, Seabrook, Shearon Harris, Millstone, Turkey Point, St. Lucie, Comanche Peak, Farley, Byron, Callaway, Vogtle and South Texas Project Nuclear Stations.
• Constructed a wireless vibration monitoring system which is currently being used in containment at Arkansas Nuclear One to monitor pump vibration once a day for an 18 month fuel cycle.
• Constructed a wireless tank level system to be used in containment at Arkansas Nuclear One.
• Completed online monitoring drift and deviation analysis for redundant pressure, flow and level transmitters over several fuel cycles for Sizewell Nuclear Stations in Suffolk, England.
• Co-authored “Implementation of On-Line Condition Monitoring Technologies in Research Reactors” which was published by NPIC & HMIT.
• Co-authored “On-line Monitoring-Safe and Effective” which was published by the American Nuclear Society.
• Work on several phase I – III DOE funded SBIR projects including R&D for NASA, Westinghouse, Arkansas Nuclear One and the Advanced Test Reactor in Idaho Falls, ID.
• Was appointed “mentor” for the last three engineering hires in the company.
• In charge of Calibration Reduction Software analysis which involves collaborating with the plants and receiving data once a month for particular transmitters. Once the data is received, through analysis, I verify that through the given time period no drift or deviation from expected values has occurred. This may allow the plant to extend the periods in between calibrations and save money.
• Compile data and write technical reports of completed projects, progress reports for ongoing projects and analysis of data taken at customer's sites.
• Prepare and study technical drawings, specifications of electrical systems, and site maps.

“Engineering Intern”
General Responsibilities:
• Traveled across the country to performance test gas turbine generators, heat exchangers, and boilers.
• Thermal testing on cooling towers to ensure the performance of the plant is as efficient as possible.
• Inspection and calibration of instruments used in testing such as RTDs, pressure transducers, sound meters, and multi-point automated sampling systems.
• Prepared reports for testing summaries to be sent to th...
