Drafter with 7 years producing construction and fabrication drawings for an engineering firm serving oil and gas and industrial clients, currently the lead drafter on a team of 6. Produces about 1,100 drawings a year across piping, civil, and structural disciplines with a 98% first-check pass rate, cut drawing revision cycles 35% through a standards library, and holds a 0 field error record on drawings issued for construction across 3 years. Draws what will be built, checks it against what the engineer meant, and issues it once.
Coursework in Technical Drawing, CAD, Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams, Structural Drafting, and Blueprint Reading.
Also holds Autodesk Certified Professional in AutoCAD and completed a 3D plant design course in 2023.
