Work Experience

Mechanical Engineering Student, Static Equipment Engineering Albian Site, CNRL
May 2020 - December 2020

Supported the safe and reliable operation of static equipment at major oil sands downstream site including ore prep, extraction, froth treatment, and utilities
Created and maintained database of properties of 40+ onsite shell‑and‑tube heat exchangers to calculate bolt torque requirements, inform future maintenance procedures, support failure root cause analyses, and reduce equipment downtime.
Developed automated tools to perform critical piping design calculations aligned with ASME B31.3 and ASME BPVC codes, reducing required engineering time by 50‑90%.

Project Coordinator, Morinville School Team Aman Builders
August 2019 - December 2019

Coordinated schedules, communications, and budgets between owners, consultants, sub‑trades, and suppliers for a new $15M school construction project, and established good working relationships with new partners during tender process for upcoming projects.
Diligently tracked daily progress and ensured all deadlines were met up to final inspection and occupancy handover.

Engineering Student, Fleet and Facility Services, City of Edmonton
April 2018 - December 2018

Assisted the maintenance and general engineering support for fleet of 5000+ municipal vehicles, including designing modifications, developing preventive maintenance strategies, and issuing repair procedures to ensure safe and reliable operation.
Investigated fleet‑wide trends in lawnmower malfunctions for senior engineers and developed recommendations to increase availability by 20%.
Implemented new system to routinely measure heavy diesel truck emissions to ensure compliance with EPA regulations.

Research Associate, University of Alberta, DTECL
