Enhanced productivity by writing/improving Python scripts to generate data visualizations within one minute. Automated data collection, calculations, chemical processing simulations, and Sankey energy diagrams reduce the time required to run simulations of fuel processing modules from a few hours to a few minutes. Deconstructed old systems and carefully recycled materials, resulting in approximately $40,000 of precious metals recovered. Tested the efficiency of fuel processing modules over time.

Improved data analysis efficiency by writing Python scripts to automatically analyze and visualize data. Additionally, utilized Excel to analyze and characterize data to optimize existing processes. Performed article inspection of parts used in the construction of fuel cell systems. Acquired hands on experience with helping to set up testing, plumbing (with pipe fittings, tube fittings, valves), electrical wiring (working with connectors, cutting, crimping). Gave presentations on tests and python programs.
