I have been working for the past 20 years as a Mechanical Design Engineer for several companies which has exposed me to many different products and manufacturing processes. For the past 10 years, I have also been performing consulting work for select companies as needed to meet their demands and schedules. I have experience designing everything from consumer products, to military equipment, to industrial equipment. During my experience, I have designed parts involving all different manufacturing processes, including injection molding, machining, fiberglass, extrusions, stampings, and formed sheet metal. I have taken ideas from concept, through prototyping and testing, and all of the way into full production. I have experience working directly with suppliers to understand their requirements and to develop the best products. I am also a Certified SolidWorks Professional, so you can be assured that my SolidWorks CAD skills are very strong. I will be able to work through your projects quickly and reliably.

I am a quasi-retired Professional looking for meaningful part-time freelance work. During my 40+ years in the Energy Engineering/Construction business I developed exemplary communication skills that served to advance my career also into litigation support consulting work as a testifying expert. So my UpWork offerings are multiple: TECHNICAL WRITING/EDITING/WHITE PAPERS is my primary intended work. My experience is ideally suited to it, and also fits my intended part time work schedule. See my Specialized Profile for more details.

In cases where a Texas PE is needed, I can provide assistance in certain matters. [I'm NOT a Civil/Structural Engineer, but Mechanical by license. ]. See my Specialized Profile for additional details. LEGAL DISCOVERY I was Director of E-Discovery in the Halliburton/KBR Law Dept for 6+ years, followed by a stint as Director in FTI's Technical Sector, then as an independent E-Discovery Consultant and Testifying Expert in Civil Litigation. These were the nascent years of E-Discovery, including the 2006 new FRCP rules on E-Discovery. I became a nationally-recognized expert in E-Discovery, and served on numerous panels and was a frequent speaker on the subject, esp. re: corporate best practices. I managed the review of dozens of matters in a variety of platforms, Relativity being the leader at the time. I am now offering my knowledge and services in this area, as an advisor, document reviewer, consultant re: motions re: discovery [proportionality] or as testifying expert.
