Nathan Woo's Resumè

Envision Advantage LLC, Mechanical Designer - June 2021 - Present

This is my current position and by far my most relevant work experience to my career. What I do is (under the supervision of a team of Professional Engineers) design HVAC systems for both new buildings and retrofits of existing buildings. This is a multi-step process that usually involves simulating the heating, cooling, and ventilation loads of a building, selecting the equipment, laying out ductwork, air devices, and other mechanical equipment, and then overseeing the construction of the project. I've worked on the following types of projects (with varying degrees of responsibility in each project):

• New Buildings
• Full Renovations
• Finish Upgrades
• HVAC System Retrofits
• Mechanical Equipment Replacements
• Piping and/or Ductwork Replacements

• Government Office Buildings
• Museum Storage Facilities
• Aircraft Hangars
• Behavioral Health Facilities
• Ambulatory Surgery Centers
• Free-Standing Emergency Departments
• Medical Office Buildings
• Hospitals
• Laboratories
• Emergency Departments
• Long Term Acute Care
• Physical Therapy
• Cath Labs
• Operating and Procedure Rooms
• Pharmacies
• University Buildings
• Dormitories
• Student Centers
• Classrooms
• Fitness Centers
• Libraries
• Administrative Offices
• Rec Centers
• Elementary & Middle Schools
• Apartment Buildings
• Barber Shops & Bars
• Chiropractor Offices
• Coffee Shops
• Restaurants
• Police Stations
• General Offices (not specific to healthcare, gov., or education)

Federal Aviation Administration Office of Facility Management, Capstone Team Member - December 2020 - May 2021

For my capstone project in college, I (along with two of my peers) worked for the FAA's Oklahoma City campus' Office of Facility Management. I used eQUEST to simulate the HVAC loads of several of their buildings. With this knowledge in hand, I then researched ways to improve their overall system efficiency and lower energy costs, and presented this research to their executives.

University of Oklahoma Building Energy Efficiency Lab (BEEL), Undergraduate Researcher - January 2020 - December 2020

In college, I performed research in OU's BEEL - a house next to campus that the university bought for researching energy efficiency. There, I set up, calibrated, and monitored sensors that measured all sorts of data points (e.g. temperature, humidity, airflow, etc.). I then integrated these sensors with Raspberry Pis (small computers) and created a database for tracking all these points. My final project (different from my work as the de facto lab IT guy) involved writing code (python and SQL) to analyze the house's heat pump efficiency in real time.

Air Force Institute of Technology, Summer Intern - May 2020 - August 2020

To be perfectly honest, this job did not have much of a long term impact on my career. While I am greatly thankful for this opportunity and I did learn a lot, this was an aerospace engineering internship. I learned a ton about hypersonics and aerospace engineering (which some of the principles of fluid dynamics overlap with mechanical) and modeled 3D parts. Throughout the summer I helped out with setting up some dry-ice ablation testing but was unfortunately not around for the time they tested everything.

University of Dayton Research Institute, Summer Intern - May 2019 - August 2019

This internship was in UDRI's Sensors and Software division, and actually set me up perfectly for my job at OU. While my main tasks for the summer involved learning the programming language Python and familiarizing myself with computer science in general. I then took this learning and applied it specifically to testing different Rasperry Pi sensor frameworks.

University of Oklahoma, Bachelor of Science - August 2017 - May 2021

I graduated with Honors and a 3.97 GPA. I could talk a lot about my college experience, but I'll just say here that it was overall a very enjoyable experience where I grew in knowlege in my field as well as a man.

Tippecanoe High School - August 2013 - May 2017

High school doesn't mean much, but I had an overall positive high school experience. I graduated with Honors and a 4.0 GPA.

3D Modeling Software - Revit, AutoCAD, SolidWorks

Through my current job I've become very proficient at Revit and to a moderate level of competancy with AutoCAD. In college and my internship with AFIT I used a lot of SolidWorks, but have not used it since, so I would probably be a little rusty if I were to try to use it now.

Other Relevant Software - TRACE, eQUEST, Microsoft Office Suite

For modeling HVAC loads of buildings, I have become very proficient at using Trane's software of TRACE. For my capstone project I used eQUEST for this modeling, but have not used it since. Also I know it is pretty standard that everyone uses Microsoft Office, but I am very proficient (to the point where I'd say I'm ahead of a lot of my peers) at using Excel, Word, Powerpoint, Teams, and Outlook effectively.

Programming Languages - Python, HTML, CSS

While I don't ever code for my job, and am far below a Computer Scientist's level of proficiency at programming, I am familiar with Python, HTML, and CSS. I also recognize that HTML and CSS are pretty limited in their scope of how they can be used. Coding with these three languages is just something I like to do in my free time that I could maybe one day find a use for in my career.

Chick-fil-A, Team Member - January 2017 - May 2019

In high school and when I was home from college on breaks I would work at the local Chick-fil-A. Working in food service (and especially at a place with a higher standard of service than the typical fast-food restaurant) I learned a lot of people skills, patience, and motivation to finish my engineering degree.

Dayton Area Youth Soccer Association & Minnesota Youth Soccer Association, Referee - March 2013 - November 2016

In late middle school and most of high school I refereed youth (aged 7-16) soccer games. This gave me a ton of experience in handling criticism (parents in youth sports can be awful), being decisive, and communicating effectively.

Various Churches, Small Group Leader - February 2018 - Present

When I was in college, I led a small group of other college men for my church. At my current church in Nashville, I lead a small group of 10th grade boys.

Boy Scouts of America, Eagle Scout - July 2017

Growing up, I participated in Boy Scouts and eventually earned the rank of Eagle Scout. While I know this isn't the most impressive acheivement in the world, or the hardest to earn, it did take a lot of dedication and taught me a lot of life lessons.
