Career Highlights
My favorite professional experiences was designing and implementing a specialty piece of equipment for the nuclear industry. There was an incredible amount of technical challenge to the job, including radiological control, extremely high operating temperatures, and other environmental factors that had to be addressed in an extremely short time frame. Seeing the finished product pass testing and be accepted by the client was a life-changing experience after so much hard work!
