Experiences

Position	Year	Organisation	Specialisation
Associate Piping Design Engineer	04/07/2011 - 25/07/2013	Flour Daniel Corporation	Job profile included computer-aided design of critical equipment, including pumps and heat exchangers, Projects included underground trenches for drain and oily water lines, as well as routing for steam and water pipelines. I specialized in designing underground piping, which poses unique challenges due to the need for reliable free-drainage systems. Additionally, I was responsible for piping critical lines, such as those with diameters exceeding 8 inches, where precise planning and robust design practices are essential to maintain system integrity and operational safety.
