While working in a lab developing a rehabilitative hand exoskeleton to restore mobility in stroke patients, I:Modeled and produced detailed design drawings (including GD&T and tolerance stack up analysis) in SolidWorks for PCB housings, attachment mechanisms, and other components on hand skeletonManufactured prototypes using a 3D printer and then tested the prototype’s mechanical performanceLaid out electrical schematics, selected components, routed, and simulated 6 PCBs in Altium Designer Soldered and assembled 6 PCBs then used oscilloscopes, multimeters, and waveform generators to test the performance of PCBs, troubleshoot issues to identify root cause, and quickly develop effective solutions

I earned my Professional Engineer license and supervised a team of 3 engineers while performing the following tasks:Conducted 4-6 traffic analyses per month, wrote a technical report for each documenting the results, and verbally presented the results to engineers, designers, developers, politicians, & the public in public hearingsParticipated in design reviews with cross-functional teams of engineers, architects, landscape architects, urban planners, real estate developers, and lawyers to provide feedback, add value to design, and mitigate riskProduced detailed and dimensioned engineering drawings of roadway plans on 10+ projectsGenerated bill of materials (BOM) as well as quantity, cost, and schedule estimates for 15+ roadway projects Led onboarding efforts for 16 new staff members while serving as Office Integration Champion for three yearsDeveloped and implemented a new tool using VBA Excel to automate analysis set-up and schematic diagram creation, reducing set up and quality control time by approximately 25-30% per projectDevised a novel protocol for modeling the traffic operations of local medical facilities and then persuaded NCDOT staff to adopt this protocol, saving a major client approximately 15% on roadway costsAssessed and optimized construction phasing sequences on three shopping mall redevelopment projects, thereby improving clients’ anticipated cash flow by approximately 5-10% on each project

I led procurement, design change coordination, and change order documentation for the interior scopes on 4 projects and performed the following tasks:Coordinated with vendors and subcontractors to ensure materials were delivered on time, met specifications, and were installed correctly to pass quality and safety inspections Generated bill of materials (BOM) as well as quantity, cost, and schedule estimates for 4 projectsCollaborated with a cross-functional team of engineers, electricians, vendors, and architects to develop and implement a re-design of an academic building’s audiovisual system, saving costs on that system by approximately 20%Co-led daily meetings with architects and contractors to coordinate critical path activities and identify opportunities to improve productivity and quality, reducing missed deadlines on an academic building projectWorked with a team of engineers and MEP contractors to design new MEP lines to serve 4 operating rooms in an existing hospital
