Continual Energy Inc. | TO CA
Mechanical Design & Fabrication Manager
• Co-designed and managed/supervised the fabrication of 4 centrifugal compressor test stands. These unique projects required extensive research, prototyping, design and fabrication of innovative mechanisms, pipe spools, parts, and a combination of materials. that strengthened the company’s R&D capabilities and paved the way for the development of its new line of products.
• Developed and proposed a Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) Package, with a Front-end-loading (FEL) approach, that included Engineering Documentation Control (EDC), Configuration Management (CM), marketing and sales strategies. With over 300 folders and document templates, GANTT charts, flowcharts I designed and tailored to strategically manage all the stages of the company’s products in development.

Continual Energy Inc. | TO, CA
CAD / Mechanical Designer
• Co-led the mechanical design and fabrication of the company’s first two large-scale projects, an energy efficient hydronic/HVAC system for a plastic injection company in Mexico and a test chiller and load simulation plant for the R&D labs of the world-leading manufacturer of centrifugal compressors in the U.S., both projects were designed / fabricated in Canada as modules that required minimum effort for the installation on-site.
I developed the CAD models, mechanical engineering drawings, performed design and fabrication R&D, planned and supervised fabrication, cross-border shipping, and on-site installation (remotely and in-person) and trained engineering personnel in Mexico.
The success of these projects ensured future expansion and R&D projects with the clients over the next 3+ years and laid the foundation for the creation of the new R&D team.

Continual Energy Inc. | TO CA
CAD / BAS Graphics Designer
• Improved the creation of BAS control graphics (GUI) by developing a drag & drop system with high quality rendered, animated and customizable 2D/3D components with pre-programmed logic (in DGlux5), the new GUI required less time and training to develop, and its effectiveness played a key role in project sales.
• Developed a library of 3D CAD mechanical, instrumentation, and electrical components and had a central role in the standardization of technical drawings and documentation that helped forge the company’s in-house capabilities to design and fabricate its own hydronic systems and equipment skids.
