Background

I'm a chemical engineer working in process design for chemical plants. My path here crossed three disciplines: a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering, an M.S. in Computer Engineering, and day-to-day work as a chemical engineer — which is a slightly unusual combination, but one that shapes how I approach a process design problem.

I'm a licensed Professional Engineer (PE) in the State of South Carolina, and my specialization is process design: developing the process flow diagrams, P&IDs, piping designs, and instrumentation specifications that turn a process concept into something that can be built, operated, and maintained safely.

The bulk of my professional work is carried out through Total Aspect Design. We are a small company located in Greer, SC. You can also head over to their website here.

Outside of work, I enjoy making websites and developing software (check out my Projects page!), staying active with fitness and running, dabbling in woodworking and electronics, and learning to become a Dad. I noticed that I was making a lot of tools I found useful, or had ideas I thought might be worth sharing, but was struggling to find a place to publish them.. so i made this site.
