Professional Experience

I’ve been working since I was 15, starting out installing high-end home theater systems with my uncle’s company. That job introduced me to complex wiring, construction site safety, and problem-solving early on. Throughout high school and college, I worked in a variety of customer service roles, including fine dining, where I learned how to handle high-pressure situations, resolve conflicts, and make sure customers always had a great experience.

After graduation, I moved into engineering, starting with an HVAC manufacturing company. There, I learned how to read construction schematics, work with ASHRAE standards, and collaborate with both contractors and engineers. I also saw an opportunity to improve the company’s outdated Excel tools, so I rebuilt and automated them, making things way more efficient for the sales team. That led to a promotion to Application Engineer, where I helped develop the company’s website and created a tool that let contractors design and order VAV boxes on their own, reducing workload for the sales team.

From there, I took on a role in electric utility design, where I worked on power distribution projects. My team and I would go out into the field, map project sites with Trimble GPS, and then design everything in CAD software, making sure it met PUC and IEEE standards. I handled permitting for road and utility crossings, put together detailed design plans, and worked closely with contractors and utility companies to keep projects on track.

Now, I work as a Programmer Analyst, using Oracle PeopleSoft Campus Solutions to develop programs and automate complex data processes for a university. I write SQL queries, build custom reports, and ensure data accuracy and security (FERPA and HIPAA). I also work with teams across the university to improve workflows and solve problems efficiently.

Through all of these experiences, I’ve become someone who adapts quickly, enjoys tackling technical challenges, and finds ways to improve processes—whether it’s through engineering, software, or just making systems work better. I love working on projects that make a real impact, and I’m always looking for ways to grow and learn.

Personal Experience

Beyond my professional roles, I’ve taken on a variety of projects to build my skills and generate income. I’ve designed and updated websites for local businesses, helping improve their online presence.

One of my favorite projects was designing a portable catering cart for a local drink company using SolidWorks. In the process, I realized their original specifications didn’t comply with ADA door-width guidelines, which would have made the cart unusable in many locations. By redesigning it for accessibility, maneuverability across different terrains, and modular adjustability, I saved them both time and money. After finalizing the design, I sourced materials and built the cart myself, using my skills in carpentry and fabrication to bring it to life.

I’ve also gotten into 3D printing, experimenting with different polymers and designing my own practical solutions for household challenges using SolidWorks and Fusion 360. While I’m still exploring all the possibilities, it’s a hobby—and potential business—that I’m excited to keep growing.
