Interface Milestones

Oct 22, 2024

Last month, we were excited to celebrate the milestones of three amazing team members — Thomas de Senna, Jeson Retumalta, and Kristin Melling.

Associate Principal Dominic Pedotto shares:

After taking over the team leader position, I was able to work more closely with Thomas and I am extremely grateful for his contributions to the success of Interface Engineering and specifically, Team Pismo. Thomas’ technical acumen within the plumbing design discipline is consistently on display while working on projects and training teammates. On top of that, he brings a positive attitude to his work that is much appreciated by teammates and clients alike. So, congratulations on 10 years, Thomas! Enjoy this well-earned recharge!

Associate Principal Yee Cheung shares:

Jeson is that person who brings the team together and everyone loves (and loves to work with)! He has risen to the challenge of being the lead plumbing designer in our team after the departure of our more senior members and has done so with flying colors. He is dependable, possesses great work ethic and always has a positive attitude and demeanor. Congratulations on 5 great years with Interface, Jeson! Thank you for all the hard work and dedication. You make my job easier!

Principal Mark O’Leary shares:

Kristin has a unique perspective transferring to Team Cypress during the pandemic in 2021 from the DC office. She transitioned into the team in the remote environment without skipping a beat. Her style is one of consistent, unwavering, and steady progress pushing the projects head-on to be high-quality. There are no repeat comments with her; is quick to pick things up and run with it. This attention to detail has been important for some of our Team’s projects like Oregon Coast Aquarium, First Citizen Bank, and National Park Service. I feel it is an exciting time on the team with the clients we have maintained, the various new projects coming online, and the team / colleagues we have. It goes without saying, although sometimes I need to say it - I am thrilled to have Kristin on the team and can’t wait to see what more success brings.
