Mechanical design and testing.
At MKEC, I worked on more than 50 building projects. My work includes HVAC layouts and equipment schedules, along with college projects in data acquisition, structural analysis, and heat transfer.

Open a project for the drawings, measurements, and decisions behind it.
Comparing two vibration sensors
I helped assemble the setup with the team and analyzed the recorded sensor response.
Working through a lightweight frame
I shared the load, stress, and deflection calculations for our five person design team.
Measuring a centrifugal pump
Our team recorded flow, pressure, speed, and torque across twelve operating points.
Following the heat through an exchanger
My working sheets connect fluid properties, heat duty, convection, and fouling to the sizing calculation.
Connecting a layout to its schedules
Duct plans, elevations, and equipment data prepared within an engineering design and review team.
Making device testing traceable
I mapped the handoffs from intake and testing through grading, custody, and disposition.
Engineering work with an operating background
I began studying mechanical engineering at Wichita State and later worked in building design at MKEC. I have also opened restaurants, led teams of up to 120 people, and co-founded an electronics lifecycle company.
Those roles taught me to think about who will use a system, how it will be maintained, and what a team needs to carry out the work.
