Overview:

Michael joined Equity Software in 2018 and currently works as a software engineer.  As a developer of the SagePlus™ software, Michael’s responsibilities include implementation of new technology and validation of the software’s fitness-for-service (FFS) and Codes and Standards analysis capability.

During his time as an engineering consultant, his work included diverse projects encompassing the Risk-Based Inspection (RBI), Materials & Corrosion (M&C), and the Innovative Software & Research (ISR) Teams.  Michael has formulated multiple addenda improving the methodology employed by API 581 and is currently working to develop an API 581 module specific to Ammonia SCC.  Within the research group, Michael explored modifications to the API 581 inspection updating procedures for pressure relief devices (PRDs).  His consulting work focused on utilizing process simulation software to determine H&MBs, quantify system hydraulics, and design pressure relief systems.
