I worked as an NSERC USRA research assistant to Dr. Isaac B Smith in the Earth and Space Science and Engineering Department at York University. My main role has been to re-purpose an inherited vacuum chamber into an experimental set up to study the optical properties of carbon dioxide ice in various crystalline structures. I have been in charge of ordering.

I worked to implement new features and fix existing bugs within the Collision Risk Assessment and Mitigation System (CRAMS) program within the Satellite Operations department. This process was very detail-oriented to avoid pushing any large issues to users who rely on the program to manage satellite close approaches.

As dock master I directed the use of a fleet of shared boats and the maintenance associated with them. During my position I implemented a digital system to track deficiencies on each boat as well as around the sailing center, improving user convenience and productivity. Day to day I was in charge of supervising the club, providing assistance to members.
