What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that foster innovation, collaboration, and professional growth.

I am a performance-driven Engineering leader with a proven track record in delivering cost-effective solutions and fostering collaboration across teams. As the President & CEO of Skybranch Engineering PLLC, I provide professional engineering services worldwide, specializing in ASME standards, including static and dynamic piping analysis, vessel design, and project management. My role has allowed me to gain diverse skills in forensic engineering, marketing, and strategic planning, which I leverage to enhance business operations and client satisfaction.

Previously, I served as a Principal Piping Engineer at Enercon Federal Services, where I supported ASME B31.3/B31.1 pipe stress analysis for commercial nuclear applications. My experience also includes significant contributions as a Mechanical Engineer at The Chemithon Corporation, where I was responsible for all engineering activities and the design of pressure vessels and heat exchangers. My commitment to quality and safety is reflected in my role as the final reviewer of engineering drawings, ensuring compliance with industry standards.
