HI, MY NAME IS HOSSEIN. I AM A RETIRED ELECTRICAL AND SOFTWARE ENGINEER.

I joined Schneider Electric (Miner & Miner Consulting Engineers) in February 1992 as an Electrical Engineer.

My responsibilities included developing and implementing analysis applications in Electrical, Water, and Gas networks.

Prior to joining Schneider Electric I was responsible for Transmission line and Substation design for the City of Colorado Springs.
While employed at Morrison Knudson Consulting Engineers I completed load flow analyses for Rio Grande locomotive shops in Denver, Colorado.
