Jan Paul Aplacador
@janpaulaplacador
Board-certified mechanical engineer focused on HVAC and CFD solutions.
What I'm looking for
I am a board-certified Mechanical Engineer with hands-on experience designing hyperscale data center MEP systems and performing CFD and FEA simulations. I collaborate with geographically dispersed teams to produce technical drawings, feasibility studies, and quality assurance checks.
I graduated Summa cum Laude from the University of the Philippines Diliman with a strong foundation in mechanics, thermal and fluids engineering, machine design, and system dynamics. My academic projects include CFD comparisons of toroidal versus conventional axial fan blades and designing an enclosure for a wireless VOC indoor air quality sensor.
I bring practical software fluency in Ansys Fluent, Ansys Mechanical, SolidWorks, Autodesk Fusion360, HEVACOMP, and MatLab, combined with data-presentation skills using Power BI and SQL basics. I also hold Lean Six Sigma White Belt and data-analysis coursework credentials.
I am a flexible, adaptable team player with excellent communication, problem-solving, and time-management skills, committed to engineering excellence and continuous professional growth.
