  • Abstract
    I have been a design engineer and a Registered Professional Engineer in Maryland and South Carolina for over 20 years. I started my career in an engineering firm right after I graduated with a bachelor´s of science degree in electrical engineering. Over my career, I have risen through the ranks in the firm from entry-level engineer to electrical principal engineer, in charge of many other professionals. My work has taken me all over the United States designing projects such as power plants and new hospitals.
