About
Mechanical Design Engineer | Healthcare, Pharmaceutical & Commercial Systems
I’m a mechanical engineer with hands-on experience designing and managing HVAC and mechanical systems across more than $120 million in cumulative construction value. My project portfolio spans Healthcare, Laboratory, Pharmaceutical, Commercial Mixed-Use, and Multi-Family Residential sectors, giving me a broad and adaptable design perspective across highly regulated and performance-critical environments.
Technical Expertise
I have deep system-level experience with Chilled Water, DX, VRF, Water-Source Heat Pump, Cooling Tower, and VAV applications. My designs consistently meet compliance requirements under FBC, FGI, NFPA, USP, and ASHRAE standards, ensuring systems are not only efficient but fully code-compliant from concept through construction.
I’m proficient in AutoCAD and REVIT, along with various load and energy calculation software, allowing me to move fluidly between design development, documentation, and analysis.
Project Delivery & Collaboration
I’ve supported and led multidisciplinary teams through every phase of project delivery, from conceptual design and engineering calculations through construction administration and closeout. This full-lifecycle involvement means I understand how early design decisions play out in the field and how to keep projects aligned with both design intent and schedule.
A key part of my experience includes representing mechanical, plumbing, and fire protection disciplines during the ACHA (Agency for Health Care Administration) review process, working directly with the State of Florida to secure compliance approvals for healthcare facility projects — a process that demands precision, responsiveness, and strong regulatory knowledge.
During construction, I’ve overseen submittal reviews, RFI responses, and construction-phase services, working to protect both design integrity and project schedules as issues arise in the field.
What I Bring to Your Project
Clients working with me benefit from a mechanical engineer who understands both the technical rigor required in regulated environments like healthcare and pharmaceutical facilities, and the practical realities of construction administration. I bring a collaborative, detail-oriented approach to every phase of a project, from the first calculations to final closeout, with the regulatory fluency to navigate complex approval processes successfully.
