Request Expert

Over 15 years of experience in product development in the area of heating, ventilation, air condition, refrigeration and power generation. Have led teams taking several products from concept to product launch and manufacturing engineering support. Provided engineering leadership for the development of a 1kW microCHP system currently on the market in Europe including field trials, design validation plan, research and development and value engineering.

Expert engineering professional with international experience in diverse industrial and research designs for distributed power generation and efficiency projects in heating, ventilating, air conditioning, and refrigeration. Time-tested record of achievement, managing all technical aspects of highly intricate projects, solving issues using data, design, and industry standards. Effectively leads technical equipment support, developing new processes through ongoing maintenance, defect resolution, and enhancement solutions. Comprehend and interpret complex technical datasets, designing advanced field studies, and performing cost estimation. Implement critical designs, procedures, and maintain regulatory compliance throughout all operations. Lead troubleshooting including root cause analysis, corrective and preventative actions (CAPA), project management and production support. Additional interest in sustainable energy research. Four patents granted, with two in production and one planned for future introduction. Fluent in English and Spanish. Licensed Professional Engineer in Florida.

He worked with a military subcontractor to re-design equipment for remote IED detection.He led several projects generating concepts for small modular engines for recreational vehicles working closely with the client to define the system and evaluate concepts. Once concepts were chosen for further development, he aided the client in coordinating prototype procurement and assembly and test.He worked with organizations to define their business processes and their data management needs and deployed cloud based systems to manage their organizations. Some examples of customer business activities include engine manufacturing, battery manufacturing, PCB board manufacturing, engineering service providers and supplier management consultants.
