The Pennsylvania State University – Hazleton, PA (May 2016)
Bachelor of Science in General Engineering, ABET accredited
Concentration: Alternative Energy and Power Generation
Minor: Energy Engineering
GPA: 3.29
RELEVANT SKILLS:
SolidWorks, AutoCAD, System Advisor Model (SAM), ANSYS, MATLAB, Microsoft Office
WORKEXPERIENCE:
Precision Tool and Machine Company Inc., Mountain Top, PA (May 2008 – Present)
Machine Operator / Floor Staff
 Collaborated with my coworkers and worked independently to complete projects
 Had to multitask on a daily basis and stay on schedule for project timelines
 Operated a Waterjet and made drawings using AutoCAD
 Operated a CNC Vertical Machining Center under the supervision of a coworker
 Operated light machinery (Bandsaw, Sawzall, Drill Press, etc.)
 Made deliveries and interacted with customers to guarantee delivery and customer satisfaction
RESEARCH:
Independent Study, Solar PV System Design (Fall 2015)
 Used SAM to calculate systemcosts and the Annual Energy Output of the system
 Estimated the shading by use of a phone app and inputted the data to SAM
 Looked into many different inverters and panels to find the best fit
 Designed a $20,000 Solar PV system with an Return On Investment of less than 8 years
Mohegan Sun Waste Heat Applications, Wilkes-Barre, PA (Fall 2015 – Spring 2016)
Senior Design Team Member
 Designed Heat Recovery Systems for a Combined Heat and Power (CHP) Generator
 Worked independently to design an Absorption Cooling System
 The chilled water the systemproduced would have been used for cooling purposes
 Collaborated with my teammates to design a Thermal Energy Storage System
 Rerouted heat from the CHP to feed into a storage tank to supply on demand hot water
Undergraduate Group Study, (2014)
 Studied the dynamics of flow over an airfoil
 Used ANSYS to measure the pressure gradients and stresses on the airfoil
 Gained an understanding of how differential equations apply to flow over objects
 Picked a specific airfoil and found the optimum angle of attack to maximize the lift coefficient
ACTIVITIES/LEADERSHIP:
 Science and Engineering Club – Active Member
 Penn State Hazleton Tennis Team(Fall 2012)
 Penn State Hazleton Golf Team (Fall 2013 – Fall 2015)
 Captain (Fall 2015)
