Developing integrated solutions for our customers.

Developing heavy lift tethered and free-flying drones for military and commercial applications. I am responsible for pursing development efforts both with government and private partners, and bridging the gap between customer requirements and the engineering effort to achieve those capabilities.

Generated, won, and led a $1.7M Navy SBIR R&D project.Continue to create, build and implement industrial electromechanical systems that automate proprietary sensor systems and methods for aerospace and defense maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) applications. Business development and pipeline management are an important part of my role to help grow the company and expand our offerings.

I am a mechanical engineer on a small team responsible for developing advanced manufacturing technologies for aerospace and defense.Additionally, I have taken on the role of engineering sales and business development in an effort to proliferate and transition our technologies to all of the DoD and commercial markets.

Working on the Manufacturing Development team responsible for a revolutionary lithium-ion battery high-volume process.

I have worked with a team to design and build a prototype robotic ankle rehabilitation device. It is known as the vi-RABT (Virtually Interfaced Robotic Ankle and Balance Trainer). I have helped all through the engineering process, from background research all the way through detailed design and fabrication. Some of my tasks included component selection, design evaluation, finite element analysis, machining, assembly, and preliminary testing.Our prototype was featured in an article at Engadget and can be found at the link below:http://www.engadget.com/2013/04/10/vi-rabt/We also have a website up to give more detail about the project and its potential significance in the physical therapy industry:http://www.northeastern.edu/virabt/

ATA Engineering is an engineering consulting firm that offers a multitude of design analyses on client projects. My experience entailed Finite Element Analysis services on designs from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). Some projects require only stress and modal analyses and reporting results to JPL, but other projects require design modification suggestions from ATA based on areas of excessive stress or weakness under given environmental conditions.I was also involved with internal designs for Small Business Innovation Research projects (SBIRs) that can earn government grants for further development and research.Occasionally I was involved in on-site testing at locations such as Disney Land in Anaheim, CA for beam support deflection on roller coaster attractions.

My responsibilities consisted of maintaining, repairing and/or modifying equipment used for battery production. I got a lot of 3D design experience and learned a lot about electromechanical systems. This job gave me a level of responsibility that I felt suited my abilities and allowed me to use creativity when solving problems.

At Covidien I worked on a project that was in the final stages of development before it proceeded into large scale production. This gave me experience in testing and qualifying the product in all sorts of areas. As my first Co-op at a medical device company, I got a great level of exposure to how the medical industry operates and what requirements are necessary for products.
