Throughout my employment at MacDonald Miller I have been able to work on a large variety of HVAC and plumbing projects. These range from Google's new LEED Platinum rated Kirkland Campus, the 9th & Lenora 42 story high-rise in Seattle, many of Polyclinic's new Seattle expansions, or redeveloping 1201 3rd Ave for new tenants. I have worked in both teams and individually at MacDonald Miller, often juggling dozens of projects simultaneously.

At Zodiac Aerospace (formally Heath Tecna) I was able to develop my CAD and 3D modeling skills by working on the design of overhead bins for the Boeing 777 aircraft. I was able to coordinate with a large team to fully retrofit the entire interior of Asiana's 777 fleet. Working at Zodiac allowed me to gain an understanding of how a large company organizes a design team both electronically and physically to accomplish a goal.

Despite having relatively little knowledge in the concepts of investment banking, I was able to successfully support the company while financing large public works projects. The main project I was involved with was the recently completed San Francisco Bay Bridge. This job gave me the interesting challenge of learning on the fly while satisfactorily completing my tasks.
