Howdy,
I'm looking for full time work or customers, I've been freelancing since 2020, sucessfully, but I realized that Im a much better engineer than buisinessman. I can sell myself, I can sell my machines, but I cant network. I just finished a massive project and am open to all options.
It took a few knocks on the head to remind me I have the best network around, and need to use it! (Self evident proof that Im awful at networking that it took me this long to look to my network)
To summarize my resume,
-I worked on military robotics before the term "drone" was even being used.
-In a massive chemical plant in lake charles, I did so well that I was put in charge of a million dollars a day of natural gas supply 2 year out of college in addition to optimizing our fuel/steam/power distribution across multiple units (about 1GW).
-I worked on truck mounted fracking equipment (blenders and hydrators) and was the absolute last engineer of 2 dozen in the department when oil prices closed the doors around 2015.
-I developed and designed the closed loop cooling system for the largest mobile powerplant in the world (Siemens SGTA45, unit 1 went straight to kandahar afghanistan).
-As a freelance engineer, Ive built industrial electrohydraulic reeling machines (think Indiana jones, reels of 2" diameter wire rope spinning at 30 RPM), an entire line of filter elements, lithium processing unit systems for MIT PHDs, tank platforms, API pressure vessels, laid out and wired Siemens PLC/HMI control systems in data centers and space force bases (designed, built, installed, and comissioned), and designed backup fueling systems used in almost a dozen AWS data centers nation wide (truck offload, forwarding, filtering for ~21 generators each)
I spent last year in the midwest corn sweats, the lake effect snow, turning wrenches and teaching people how to troubleshoot control panels and read torque specs, and under radomes in colorado space force bases getting sunburned without the sun while comissioning fueling units in restricted areas while MPs are standing around watching with loaded guns. I was outside in Denver during zero degree weather chasing down a glitch in a controller to satisfy a fire inspector on a new build highrise luxury aparement next to mile high stadium, I got covered in snow, sweat, and oil, and found it fun every time.
I fix old cars for fun, rebuild engines, fix old radios, used CFD to design an intake manifold for my DeLorean, find press broken sheet metal (origami) design to be relaxing, solidworks is like meditation, and solving complex problems is how I derive joy in life.
I have extensive product development experience, specifically in industrial systems and machines, and live west of Houston.
None of that comes out well on a resume, where HR is trying to find a peg to fit into a hole. I have all the evidence and proof if any of that sound embellished or outlandish. The fact of things is I do what I love, and love what I do, and am pretty clever, and when those things all allign, it builds a lot of experience and knowledge.
