I worked as a ground controller for starship testing. Also, I was in charge of the activation of one of the fluid systems. I wrote the automation and created the GUI for the system. In addition, I updated the system’s schematics as the activation progressed.

College Station, Texas, United States

I have created schematics and written procedures for various tests including valve checkouts, igniter checkouts, and engine hotfires. Also, I have acted as the test controller for valve checkouts, igniter testing and an engine hotfire. Lastly, I have assisted in the manual performance of leak checks and a hydroproof.

Mcgregor, Texas, United States

I worked with the Raptor Test Operations Team in McGregor, Texas. During my internship I performed borescope inspections, leak checks, valve checkouts, pneumatic proofs, propellant loading & densification, torch hotfires, and engine hotfires. I was fortunate enough to be able to perform a total of 19 Raptor engine hotfire tests. Also, I edited and updated the GUI and test operation software.

Brownsville, Texas, United States

I worked with the Pad Fluids Team at Starbase. I wrote and performed pad activation procedures such as leak checks, proofs, and flushes. Also, I created and updated schematics of the various launch pad fluid systems through the utilization of Visio.

Chandler, Arizona, United States

I worked with the Dynamic Environments Team and the Instrumentation & Testing Team. I utilized Python, LaTeX, Excel, MATLAB, and FEMAP to update and re-evaluate acoustic, vibration, and shock testing analysis for components on various launch vehicles including Antares, Minotaur IV, Pegasus, and others. Also, I performed and assisted in the performance of multiple tests on components such as clamp bands, orbital standard initiators, a hot gas generator, stage 1 and stage 2 separation springs, and fairing composite samples. I used Siemens NX to create models, assemblies, and drawings of different components that would be used for testing.

College Station, Texas, United States

I worked for the lab SpaceCRAFT. Most of my work involved the utilization of Python, C++, and Unreal Engine in order to create simulations, as well as perform necessary calculations.

Bryan/College Station, Texas Area

I worked as an undergraduate researcher for the aerospace department with fellow student Jared Lilly and Dr. Darren J Hartl. The project that I worked on involves radiators for manned spacecrafts. The project was funded primarily by Paragon, however NASA is involved as well. The primary goal for my work is to create a benchtop prototype with flight-decent hardware and no annular flow.

Bryan/College Station, Texas Area

I have given tours of the Texas A&M campus to hundreds of visitors from all around the world. My freshman year, I worked as a volunteer. However, my sophomore year, I received a scholarship for giving at least two tours of the University each week.
