- Perform analysis on emergent 777X control laws issues using integrated airplane simulation tools to evaluate and develop design solutions.- Verify requirements and declare 777X software load safety of flight for multiple lateral/directional control laws using both simulated and hardware-in-the-loop testing.- Lead design and requirements effort for a PD envelope protection control law, including relevant tactile cue development.- Lead voting and redundancy management software development for PD air data architecture trade study. Develop test strategy and approach which exhaustively tests proposed sensor configurations and voting schemes against single/multiple sensor threats using self-developed Simulink model.Special Assignment: 737MAX Return to Service Design Team- Led engineering team executing a control law Detailed Test Procedure (DTP) which involved writing airplane-level test scenarios, running hardware-in-the-loop simulations, validating the data against design requirements, and creating the necessary documentation for both internal review and FAA certification.- Designed and validated Flight Control System (FCS) changes; performed design validation by writing and executing targeted tests and Monte Carlo analysis on the Boeing enterprise high-performance computing cluster.- Analyzed flight test data to root-cause emergent issues. Results and recommendations accepted by program leadership to improve FCS performance and robustness.

The Engineering Career Foundation Program is a two-year leadership and technical development program consisting of four six-month rotations spanning both Boeing's business units as well as different stages of the product lifecycle. Rotation #4: Flight Test Analysis Engineer - Flight Test Engineering Analysis: Systems- Coordinated with design engineers and other Flight Test organizations to write and release nine Flight Test Plans (FTPs) for the 777X program, each detailing test article configuration, instrumentation, test conditions, and risk management plans. Rotation #3: Operations Analyst - Phantom Works: Commercial Derivatives New Business- Developed “task processor” in Air Force Simulation Integration and Modeling (AFSIM) to simulate the decision tree of the Advanced Battle Management System (ABMS) committing assets to engage incoming threats. This simulation was carried forward to analyze mission performance of different fleet arrangements and ABMS platforms.Rotation #2: Flight Controls Engineer - 777X Primary Control Laws- Verified 777X control law requirements by writing and executing Detailed Test Procedures for the Emergency Descent, Vertical Model Suppression, and Air/Ground control laws both in desktop and hardware-in-the-loop testing.- Created an internal, onboarding Wiki page which consolidated various sources of setup information into one single place and is still maintained to this day. Also helped to onboard 3 new team members, sitting down with them one-on-one and explaining the various tools and processes that the team uses. Rotation #1: Equipment Engineer - 777 Fuselage Automated Upright Build- Led Root Cause Corrective Action team on clamping-related faults in automation. This resulted in a software update which was rolled out to all production KUKA robots and significantly reduced fault occurrence.

Provided both one-on-one and group tutoring to undergraduate students for introductory engineering courses.

London, England, Gb

Modeled compressor surge flow and compressor blade heat transfer in MATLAB to evaluate whether strain gauges had sufficient thermal protection. Analytical results demonstrated that outputs errors could range from 10-50% depending on the compressor stage being examined.

Provided mentorship to 8 groups of middle/high school students by helping them to develop different websites/mobile applications of their own design to help tackle different local issues. Included providing guidance through the brainstorming, prototyping, development, and pitching processes.
