01 / About Me

From fabrication drawings to intelligent workflows.

I'm a mechanical engineering professional with a decade of experience across manufacturing, EPC projects, piping support engineering and industrial design.

At EPIC Piping International, I lead pipe-support engineering deliverables: general arrangement and fabrication drawings, material take-offs, reviews, revisions and coordination with project and QA/QC teams.

I also develop practical engineering automation using PowerShell, Excel VBA, Power Automate and AI-assisted workflows to streamline repetitive CAD and document processes.
