Experience

I currently work with L.E. Wooten and Company (i.e. "The Wooten Company" or "Wooten") as Project Engineer Assistant and Mechanical Designer
I have 3 years of experience working in the Engineering industry.

Project Engineer Assistant and Mechanical Designer | L.E. Wooten and Company
From August 2023 to Current • 3 year(s)
Specializing in building design with a focus on HVAC systems, piping networks, electrical design, and cooling systems, I leverage Auto-Desk tools such as REVIT, CIVIL-3D, and BIM-based applications for precise modeling and system integration. By incorporating data from Arc-GIS-like programs, I optimize designs for efficiency and performance. Collaborating in multidisciplinary teams, I contribute to enhancing project outcomes, streamlining design processes, and ensuring seamless coordination across various engineering disciplines.

Student Capstone Worker | Boon Edam USA Incorporated
From August 2022 to May 2023 • 1 year(s)
My team andI designed and developed an AI-driven smart entry system incorporating advanced security features, ensuring both reliability and real-world scalability through rigorous performance testing. In addition to authoring a detailed product report covering design, functionality, and benefits, my team and I collaborated with students, administrators, and project managers to optimize system development and implementation.

Civil & Mechanical Engineering Intern | L.E. Wooten and Company
From May 2022 to January 2023 • 1 year(s)
In my role, I have produced detailed 2D and 3D models using AutoCAD and Revit for a range of government and municipal-backed civil projects. Collaborating with multidisciplinary teams, I have contributed to refining designs and addressing engineering challenges throughout the development process. Additionally, I have conducted on-site ADA inspections to ensure compliance with construction and legal standards. My responsibilities have also included preparing comprehensive project documentation and reports, including plans, sections, and elevations.

Mechanical Engineering Intern | Engineering Source of North Carolina
From January 2022 to May 2022 • 0 year(s)
I contributed to HVAC design efforts by drafting and positioning AHU locations and coil connections for school HVAC systems. My role involved reviewing and analyzing mechanical plans to assist in drafting updated HVAC layouts while gaining foundational knowledge in temperature and humidity control systems. Additionally, I supported system planning and layout adjustments to enhance overall design efficiency.
