Hydraulic and pneumatic systems are foundational in both aviation and industrial settings — and I’ve worked with them everywhere from turbine-driven UAVs to semiconductor cleanrooms.
In my years maintaining rotary and fixed-wing aircraft—including the CH-47, AH-64, MQ-1, MQ-9, and commercial DHC-8 platforms—I’ve worked on everything from landing gear actuators to armament pneumatics. My experience includes:
Servicing and troubleshooting hydraulic flight controls, reservoirs, and pumps
Repair and inspection of pneumatic launch systems for UAV operations
Replacing and safety-wiring accumulators, filters, and dampers
Performing bleed and charge operations for closed-loop systems
Supporting cold weather/hot weather ops with environmental control adjustments
Whether in the field, in a hangar, or on deployment, I’ve been responsible for ensuring aircraft control and utility systems operate safely and precisely under demanding conditions.
While working with companies like Cisco Air Systems and Wipotec, I maintained high-precision industrial systems, often involving compressed air or nitrogen gas. I’ve:
Diagnosed and repaired valve banks, regulators, and air dryers
Installed and configured nitrogen generation systems for clean gas delivery
Supported sensor-actuated pneumatic systems in conveyor and packaging lines
Tuned air knife systems, line purging, and vacuum systems
Ensured calibration and safe pressure thresholds per equipment specs
I understand that even small misalignments in pressure regulation or line routing can compromise safety, efficiency, or cleanroom compliance. That’s why I approach each system with careful planning and documentation.
Beyond traditional aviation and industrial work, I’ve supported precision valve testing and cryogenic gas delivery as part of semiconductor QA. That means handling high-pressure nitrogen, oxygen, helium, and argon in sealed lines with meticulous control over:
Line pressure balancing
Leak testing using helium or nitrogen trace gas
Moisture and particulate monitoring under flow
Vent/charge sequences for sensitive equipment
Many of these environments required full PPE, including cleanroom suits, and adherence to rigorous contamination control protocols.
I’ve consistently followed procedures under:
OSHA, military TOs, customer SOPs, and hazmat handling protocols
PPE best practices in both confined and pressurized environments
Lockout/tagout (LOTO), system venting, and isolation before servicing
Component torque values, seal replacements, and requalification logs
From ensuring tool cleanliness in a class 1000 cleanroom to executing emergency depressurization in the field, I treat safety as a non-negotiable part of the job.
I’ve been trusted to handle pressurized systems across industries because I combine hands-on experience, methodical attention to detail, and strict compliance with safety and documentation standards.
