About
With a robust career spanning over six years, I am currently a BAS Field Engineer at Air Systems Inc., CA, specializing in the commissioning and programming of various HVAC control systems. Since September 2021, I have played a pivotal role in key projects like the Google Bayview Campus and multiple buildings on Tasman Drive in San Jose, CA. My responsibilities encompass a wide range of technical tasks, including point-to-point checks, DDC programming, BMS database management, and network configuration for HVAC systems.
Previously, as a Controls Project Engineer at ABM Systems Inc., NY (August 2016 - September 2021), I honed my skills in similar domains, contributing to significant projects such as the Newark Airport Terminal 1 and multiple high-rise buildings in New York. My expertise extends to project management, site commissioning, preventive maintenance, and emergency troubleshooting, underlining my proactive approach and leadership in managing multiple projects.
Academically, I hold a Master's Degree in Mechanical Engineering from the City University of New York, complemented by a PMP certification, underscoring my commitment to professional development and excellence in project management.
My enthusiasm for building automation in HVAC controls is both a professional focus and a personal interest, prompting me to continually explore and innovate in this area. This passion has led to the publication of multiple research papers on pivotal topics within our industry. My scholarly work delves into building automation's impact on indoor air quality, energy efficiency in HVAC systems, the integration of IoT in HVAC control systems, and the latest advancements in sensor technology for HVAC automation. These contributions reflect my ongoing commitment to enhancing our understanding and application of technology in creating more efficient, intelligent, and sustainable building environments.
Passionate about building automation in HVAC controls, I am always eager to expand my knowledge and skills in my profession. My expertise in building automation is not just a professional commitment but also a personal interest, driving me to explore and innovate in this field continually.
I bring a blend of technical proficiency, project management acumen, and a keen interest in building automation to any role I undertake. My goal is to leverage my experience and skills to contribute significantly to panels, awards, and conferences, offering insights and expertise in the ever-evolving realm of HVAC controls and building automation systems.

Geothermal Energy in Building Automation: An Exploration of Ground Source Heat Pumps and Heat Exchangers
Ground source heat pumps are not entirely new; they have been in use for several decades. However, their adoption rate has been influenced by various factors like initial installation cost, lack of awareness, and geographical conditions. Despite these challenges, interest in GSHPs has been on the rise, especially in regions with favorable conditions and in areas where energy prices and environmental concerns make them a viable option.
In recent years, with the growing emphasis on sustainable building practices and renewable energy utilization, GSHPs have witnessed increased adoption in various parts of the world. They're especially popular for buildings aiming for green certifications, such as LEED.
Introduced in the late 20th century, Ground Source Heat Pumps (GSHPs), often known by names like GeoExchange or earth-coupled mechanisms, leverage the Earth's steady subterranean temperature as their primary medium for thermal exchange. Unlike the fluctuating air temperatures that various regions experience, from intense summer heat to freezing winter cold, the Earth's underground temperature remains stable, typically ranging between 45°F (7°C) and 75°F (21°C). This underground environment, reminiscent of a cave, is naturally warmer than the winter air and cooler than the summer air. GSHPs utilize this temperature disparity, exchanging heat with the Earth via a dedicated ground heat exchanger, enhancing their operational efficiency.
GSHPs, like their counterparts, can heat, cool, and when equipped, provide homes with hot water. Advanced geothermal models come with dual-speed compressors and adjustable fans, ensuring optimal comfort and energy conservation. When compared to air-source heat pumps, GSHPs offer advantages: they operate more silently, boast longer lifespans, require minimal upkeep, and their efficiency is not compromised by external air temperatures.
