Expert started work for Ingersoll-Rand in 1974 designing pumps for the SSN 688 and Trident submarines. He worked side-by-side with many renowned pump designers during his tenure with Ingersoll: Dr. Paul Cooper, Igor Karassik, Val Lobonoff, and Fred Antunes.
In 1990, Expert went to work with his good friend Dr. Elemer Makay to improve his skills in the root cause analysis of degraded pumping systems and to apply state-of-the-art designs for improving pump life and performance. During this period, Michal helped pioneer the majority of manufacturing and inspection processes for significant improvements in pump reliability and reduction in the total life cycle cost of pumping systems. Expert currently works with many customers in varied markets in the training of personnel, specification development, root cause analysis, and the implementation of strategic programs to upgrade pumping systems to best-in-class standards. Expert is currently a member of the ASME Pump & Valve Testing committee. His mission is to make customers best-in-class in their industry with regards to pump operating cost by increasing their knowledge of the generic issues of pump degradation/failure and their solutions, and by supporting integration of improved specifications and procedures to obtain consistent results to an upgraded process.
