- Operate test stand and Stage 1 vehicle systems remotely as either a Test Conductor, Ground Controller, or Vehicle Controller through multiple LabVIEW GUI's on a control console. - Write and modify operational autosequences used during acceptance and development testing of the Falcon 9 Stage 1 Vehicle.- Work in an integration role post stage ATP by performing flight closeout inspections of the 9 M1D engines, propellant tanks (internal and external), and interstage while ensuring any issues found during stage production or ATP are resolved before flight. Help improve efficiency of closeout work by determining what can be worked in parallel and the primary goals for each shift.

Hawthorne, Ca

Responsible design engineer for Crew Dragon propellant vent relief system and placement of Crew Dragon fill/drain service valves. Collaborated with multiple engineering groups to design and analyze all system component interfaces including support brackets, bulkhead attachment points, and routing lines. Created system mass trade studies, clearance stack-ups, and performed modal and stress analysis. Completed multiple manufacturing drawings per ASME Y14.5 GD&T standards.

Waco, Tx

Developed a hybrid Savonius/Darrieus wind turbine that utilized artificial wind created by passing cars in a tunnel environment. Optimized turbine efficiency by minimizing cost of production to turn a profit after 5 years. Produced manufacturing drawings for every custom-made component.

Assisted the Director of Engineering and Computer Science (ECS) Student Initiatives by performing various tasks and helping set up events for ECS students living in Teal Residential College.Provided tours of Teal Residential College to prospective students and families.

Waco, Tx

Led a group of five engineering students to successfully design, model, build, test, and demonstrate an electrically operated mechanical device that had to robotically maneuver a golf ball over and under a set of obstacles. The device was conceptualized and constructed to balance and manage time, cost, and quality.

Facilitated groups that enabled new students to better integrate into college life and programs.Helped prepare new students to be successful in Baylor Engineering and Computer Science by promoting successful habits such as time management and study skills.

Sugarland, Tx

Defined and documented a set of work instructions in flow chart format for a fluid thermodynamic and transport properties program used to ascertain the properties of custom liquids and gases, which decreased the amount of time to present the program results from two hours to 20 minutes. Then conducted an engineering-wide training session on the new work instructions.Modeled and simulated a pipeline-based natural gas pressure reduction system using SolidWorks and SolidWorks Flow, which was used to determine if SolidWorks Flow was an adequate flow simulation package for the necessary calculations required by the company.

Assisted with backroom, sales-floor, and backstock merchandise.

Bachelor Of Science (B.S.), Mechanical Engineering, Gpa: 3.70
