PROFESSIONAL SKILLS
WORK EXPERIENCES
Synergistics INC - Junior Consultant Engineer Orlando, FL (Feb 2014- Present)
As the Junior Consultant Engineer I used my system engineering skills on the project management for
Networking Systems, Security Installation, Software Development and hardware delivery.
Overseeing the planning and operations of a team that consists of IT technicians and service call delivery
drivers.
Work closely with technology and business clients while managing networking and security
installations to identify project goals, technical specifications end user requirements.
Performed a key role during my first 6 months as a technical intern by collaborating with technology
vendors to update the networking and database platforms for various clients that were using out of date
systems.
In my short time with Synergistics I have learnt to use the Software tools offered by Microsoft
SharePoint, Access and Project Management make it easier to monitor and plan simultaneously projects
by Optimizing Resource Utilization.
In charge of identifying project requirements, outlining technical limitations and boundaries for projects
and develop a project schedule that consist of a 3 level system management.
Responsible for weekly reports and updates on project progress. Using Microsoft Project I was able to
monitor a 3 level project management system.
The 3 levels of this system included completion of daily tasks, notifying the technical team of upcoming
weekly goals and reporting the conclusion of project milestones.
Assisted in the development and maintenance of several Database Systems using Microsoft SQL, Access
and Oracle.
National Science Foundation Reduced Gravity &Biomechanics Project - System Integration Lead Engineer
Las Cruces, NM (Aug 2010- Dec 2013)
Team Leader for the Human Factors and Ergonomics group in charge developing Human-Machine
Interface (HMI) on the Reduced Gravity and Biomechanics (RGB) project.
System Engineer responsible for outlining project goals, development plans and schedules. The team
used Microsoft Project Management to update completed tasks so the team to reach vital project
milestones submitted in the initial project proposal to the National Science Foundation.

2. Monitored weekly progress of all 4 groups on the project that helped ensure the assembly of a working
prototype. The Microsoft Calendar feature from Project manager allowed team members to schedule
meetings so all the team leaders could meet at a convenient time every week.
Responsible for the facility planning, design and integration of the student RGB research lab layout that
satisfies the OSHA and NMSU safety requirements. Jack 7.1 ergonomics feature guided the development
and design of the Reduced Gravity Lab. Liaised with constructors to finalize construction drawings, select
appropriate finishes and ensure all safety requirements were satisfied.
In charge of initial RGB device experimental protocols that identified operational and user requirements
that were implemented.
Collaborated with the Mechanical Design and Mechanical Simulation groups of the project to ensure the
design, manufacture and initial trials of mechanical prototype.
Simulated the Safety and Ergonomic performance of proposed design and submitted a safety and
operations manuals that are currently in use.
Using Matlab, I wrote a simulation validation program that predicted the expected ground reaction
force, acceleration due to gravity and biomechanics joint reactions expected from experiments. This
simulation proved to be a key game changer in the experimentation and validation phase of the 3 year
project. The two linear and Non Linear Programs that were written helped maximize spring
requirements of the systems offloading mechanism.
Assisted the Mechanical lead engineer to design and manufacture of test apparatus, together with the
design of mechanical human interfacing parts of the Reduced Gravity simulator. All the parts were
designed in N.X 7.0 CAD software. A lot of Mechanical Engineering Design tools of NX were used such as
Finite Element Analysis to ensure the safety specifications that were outlined earlier in the project were
adhered to.
Collaborated with the Manufacturing lead during the Manufacturing and Assembly stages of the project.
This involved an iterative process of design and redesign to ensure delicate and complex parts could first
be manufactured with the CNC machines and CAM programs that the team had constructed. I was put
in charge to make sure all tolerances, performance requirements and system specifications were met.
