Bio

My name is Matthew Xavier Laviña Dalton, a currently enrolled Senior at the University of Washington in Seattle. I am majoring in Industrial & Systems Engineering with a current 3.42 GPA in related courses. Coursework includes linear programming and network optimization, Lean and Six Sigma practices and principles, and statistical models and simulation construction.

During the summer of my Junior year in university, I had the opportunity to work as a Project Management Intern with MacDonald-Miller Facility Solutions (MacMiller). While employed, I was able to contribute to intricate, multi-million-dollar HVAC and plumbing construction projects including the pool renovations at the UW IMA Building and the Forest B Expansion of Seattle Children’s Hospital.

I am a San Francisco Bay Area native with both my Filipino and Caucasian family living in the area or around Monterey Bay. I was a committed swimmer on the SPRC Stingrays in Severna Park as well as a junior and senior captain on the SPHS Falcons Varsity Swim Team at my high school. I am also a Red Cross certified Lifeguard formerly employed at the Severna Park Community Center. Aside from my engineering pursuits, I dabble in music production, find a definitive interest in amateur stargazing and astronomy, have had a few adventures with creative writing, and spend much of my truly free time in the company of friends and video games. I am proficient in 3D CAD modeling (Autodesk Inventor), computer simulated circuits, the Microsoft Office Suite, and Simio.
