-Led subteams throughout the project design approach, execution, testing, and manufacturing. Technical lead (2nd in command of 14 students) responsible for all testing, airframe design, and integration of subsystems within the rocket-This was a year-long national rocketry competition against 60 universities. Our team placed 5th in the country. -The rocket reached 5343ft (goal of 5280ft) using an L1500 solid ammonium perchlorate rocket motor.-A PI control system referenced Simulink-generated trajectory data to control drag flaps and hit a target altitude while protecting a fragile payload.-Designed all components using Creo parametric and utilized advanced manufacturing (FDM Additive manufacturing, 5-axis CNC Milling, CMM scanning, carbon fiber techniques) to build the air-frame and payload housings. -A four-bar linkage landing gear (AL-6061) was housed in the nose cone and opened upon descent to aid the vacuum-sealed, gas-piston payload protection system.

- Conceptual design lead- CAD/CAM with simulations and animations in ProE/Creo- Presentations for Preliminary, Conceptual, Final and competition design reviews.I developed the original design concept, guided the design approach, and generated the CAD. I owned the mechanical function of the robot.The project was to build a robot to cast a 5 oz lure into a hula-hoop from a distance of 10 feet. Additionally, the highest award would also go to the robot that could achieve the longest distance cast. We developed a robot that consistently cast the lure a specified distance. The distance was input using a smart phone application. The user would input a distance from 10' to 120' in increments of 10 feet into the application, and the robot would cast the lure within 5 feet of that distance. We took the top award for design and casting distance. Our robot weighed a little over 15 lb. and cost $200 in total while our closest competitor's robot weighed 85 lb and cost more than $500 to build.

- Managed 35 crew members - Ordered supply and inventory for store- Set schedule for each shift- Completed shift changes and bank deposits on a daily basis- Opened and closed the store, ran operationsI was hired as a crew member and was promoted to crew leader within 3 months. I was then promoted to Assistant Manager after one year of employment (the minimum required by Auto Bell at the time). I worked as an Assistant Manager for a year while attending CPCC to get my Associates in Science.
