PROFESSIONAL SYNOPSIS

Senior Engineer, BECHTEL, SAIC, LLC, LAS VEGAS, NV 2001   “ MARCH, 2009

Managed the manufacturing program for waste packages, pallets and drip shields
for the Yucca Mountain Program. Wrote technical specifications, statements of
work and procurement documents. The result was the purchase of the first
prototype waste package ever produced in this country. Before delivery, a test
program was written and test laboratories selected. The set of parameters tested
included residual stress, mechanical properties, corrosion, surface and several
specialized tests designed to evaluate the long-term survivability of the waste
package corrosion barrier. This test program has been identified as a 6 Sigma
achievement. Technical areas of competency include QA, welding engineering,
nondestructive examination and testing.
