I design embedded software for various clients from agricultural vehicles to aftermarket vehicle accessories. Experience in programming modules with Simulink and C, developing requirements documents, and different testing methods: MIL, SIL, HIL.

I have worked on a wide variety of projects at RFA. Many years were spent designing diesel and dual-fuel engines, construction equipment cabin designs, and frame structure designs. I have worked in many stages of design work including: -Initial part design and concepts -Supplier design review/modification -Model and drawing preparation and review -Tolerance stack and FEA analysis -Part/assembly documentation and releasing

I worked with Mavo Systems at the Xcel Energy plant in Becker, MN on the Sherco Unit 3 rebuild project. I was responsible for tracking all piping systems and determining the type and quantity of the insulation materials needed to finish for invoicing. Then I completed documents for Xcel verifying what piping systems had been completed. I also created a generalized set of spreadsheets programmed to automatically pull the teams labor hours from time cards into work order and invoicing sheets saving time for the Foremen and Managers.

My responsibilities were to oversee construction of the Highway 2 project. I observed construction and verified it was done according to plan reporting any inconsistencies. Daily logs and pay quantity reports were filled out and submitted to the North Dakota Department of Transportation.
