Investigate optimal EOS M290 and M400-4 parameters for Ti6Al4V part production.Optimize AM post-processing production system, focusing on methods to ease Ti6Al4V support removal.

Designed a behavioral analytics product to improve Air Force mission capable rates, forecasting revenues and the associated competitive/political landscape.Developed a tool to visualize Air Force Service’s investment portfolio and enable higher quality decision-making at gate reviews.

Selected to participate in a highly competitive two-year leadership and technical skills development program involving six-month rotations across different stages of the product lifecycle and multiple business units (Boeing Commercial Airplanes; Boeing Defense, Space and Security; and Engineering, Test and Technology).

Worked with operations to integrate advanced manufacturing techniques into the 737 production system, optimizing flow and eliminating unproductive labor.

Ladson, South Carolina

Wrote application and designed graphic user interface to automate metrology processes, decreasing production flow time.Wrote application to convert 787 composite fabrication data into a .csv that could be visualized and analyzed for correlations between autoclave/tooling errors and composite non-conformances and wrinkles.Wrote operating handbook to apply lessons learned on 787 composite fabrication defect tracking and reduction to 777X and future airplane programs.Enhanced 737 Inlet Metrology software to decrease lipskin non-conformances on laminar surfaces.Wrote software to send software-produced shim and splice plate data to 787 emergent operations.

North Charleston, South Carolina

Designed and built 3D-printed solutions to safety, quality, and productivity problems facing the mechanic technicians of Boeing South Carolina's aft body production.Designed and prototyped solutions to 787 production problems to create $748,268 in annual cost savings and eliminate 28.16 build hours per airplane.Led and developed a framework for using non-conformance, pick-up, rework hours, and hours over bar data to predict, identify, and solve efficiency problems.Managed and controlled usage of FDM and SLA 3D printers.

Huntsville, Alabama

Determined component power spectra environments using VAOne.Modeled components of Space Launch System (SLS) engine section in Patran.Analyzed SLS engine section component loading in Nastran using coupled loads analysis and random vibration environments during liftoff and ascent.Qualified hardware by comparing random load factors with NASA mass acceleration curve (MAC).Parsed, sorted, and analyzed over 40,000 data points to understand effects of thrust oscillations of different ascent bins.

Space Park (Redondo Beach, Ca)

Designed and prototyped an autonomous drone tow for the Global Hawk.Worked with suppliers and Catia to develop heat exchanger for FSpot-X.Tailored 1540 environments for tests of units, subsystems, and space vehicles in anticipation of design reviews and testing.Wrote spacecraft-to-payload interface control documents for micro-space vehicle for future Falcon 9 ESPA launch using 1540 and ESPA RUG.Fired MRE-I test thrusters for the James Webb Space Telescope.Kitted New World Observer and the fire barrier thermal protection system.

Led a team of seven consultant interns to conduct drone market research.Analyzed Flytrex competitors to determine the drone industry's barriers to entrySized drone niche markets to provide Flytrex with a potential business plan.Recommended Flytrex focus on drone data analytics instead of traditional drone hardware to avoid competition with the industry's major players, DJI and Parrot.

Performed market research on the international genetic sequencing market to determine the viability of Genoox's sequencing services.Created a pricing model for several of these services while recommending a potential course of action.Worked with seven other consultants via USC Tamid.

Gathered business intelligence on SpaceIL's competitors in Google's Lunar XPrize. Provided marketing advice and outreach for SpaceIL's $284,000 crowdfunding campaign. Worked with a team of six other consultants via USC TAMID.

Completed quality assurance tests on various chemicals and active pharmceutical ingredients (API's).Constructed and implemented large-scale chemical processes to develop API's.
