Developing Test Procedures to perform maintenance operations on inert compressed gas and hypergolic propellant systems.

Mcgregor, Texas, United States

-Supported the integration and testing of Falcon 9 stage 2 boosters, with the aim of shipping 1 every 3.3 days-Reviewed, dispositioned, and resolved over 50 vehicle discrepancies-Operated 10+ Falcon Stage 2s through leak checks, hydrostatic proofing, and hot fire testing-Developed improvements to ACS polarity tests to improve consistency and reliability

Seattle, Washington, United States

-Managing the development of Washington Superbike's second complete motorcycle design-Oversaw and supported the development of a new swing arm prototype, designed and constructed out of bidirectional carbon fiber with aluminum honeycombed supports-Orchestrated the re-evaluation and re-development of our interior battery box, optimizing packing factor without over-shooting simulated thermal build-up.

-Designed a linkage system to make the bike's rear suspension more progressive-Wrote an algorithm to optimize the dimensions of the linkage's rocker and dogbone links, achieving the ideal leverage ratio curve

Seattle, Washington, United States

-Designed/analyzed the rear axle block. Primarily an opportunity to learn proper procedure for designing with constraints and load cases to consider.-Engaged in the full design process for the bike's rearsets, from initial research and drawings to design reviews, iterations, and final manufacturing.

Seattle, Washington, United States

-Overseeing the development of a uniaxial test stand for cold flow and hot fire testing in the coming Winter & Spring quarters.-Organizing the team's schedule and deliverables, optimizing for short-term, achievable goals that will coalesce into the final product.-Designing an annual Engineering capstone to pair the objectives of the team with the skills and graduation requirements of our roster's seniors.

Seattle, Washington, United States

-Organizing the club roster and collecting annual member dues-General management of finances, including paying filing taxes and ordering necessary materials-Helped facilitate the club's transition out of the mechanical engineering department and into the UW HFS makerspaces

Seattle, Washington, United States

-Collaborated with others to design a Kinetic Zen Garden based on additive manufacturing technologies-Assembled a TronXY 3D printer with a peer

Overview: NASA L'Space Mission Concept Academy is a workforce development program, challenging students to generate a mission payload and associated Preliminary Design Report that answers a given task. In the Autumn 2021 iteration of the Academy, we were tasked with locating a 100 metric ton sample of water ice and characterizing it for some scientific purpose we chose with an allotted payload size of 1 m^3 and a maximum of 30 kg.As a mechanical engineer on my team, Team… Show more Overview: NASA L'Space Mission Concept Academy is a workforce development program, challenging students to generate a mission payload and associated Preliminary Design Report that answers a given task.
