Independence, Oregon, United States

• Designed a full-scale wind tunnel experiment using design of experiments methods to minimize flow separation over and upper surface blown, trailing edge flap using vortex generators
• Developed computational fluid dynamics models in ANSYS Fluent to evaluate trailing edge flap performance on an upper surface blown aircraft wing
• Awarded honorable mention in the engineering category at the 2021 OSU HC Thesis Research Poster Fair for the thesis titled, "Trailing Edge Flap Optimization for an Upper-Surface Blown Aircraft Wing"
• Assisted in aerodynamic data collection and reduction to optimize a distributed propulsion system

Yakima, Washington, United States

• Generated engineering orders in adherence to FAA regulations (14 CFR Part 23) to address engineering change requests for production improvement; this included the creation/modification of engineering drawings in.
• Collaborated with the Quality and Production departments frequently to ensure the proposed design or process changes described in the engineering order best met the needs of all concerned parties
• Facilitated a part redesign with an external manufacturing company of a welded exhaust assembly to a 100% formed sheet metal part to mitigate interference issues caused by weld distortion
• Supported fuselage and landing gear structural testing

Corvallis, Oregon, United States

• Led a four-person team responsible for the aerodynamic and structural design of an RC aircraft with a maximum takeoff weight of 18.1 lbs. and maximum speed of over 100 mph
• Created a MATLAB script to iteratively estimate the center of gravity location and size the horizontal and vertical stabilizers to ensure stability
• Fabricated composite components including an aramid fuselage, carbon spar, and fiberglass landing gear
• Facilitated the integration of components with the payload and propulsion sub-teams
• Awarded the Oregon NASA Space Grant and placed 17th at the 2021 AIAA DBF competition

Corvallis, Oregon, United States

• Directed the Ski Extender product design group of 10+ students; pioneered the overall vision of the product, organized meetings, and fostered effective communication and teamwork
• Designed, manufactured, tested, and debugged internally illuminated, touch sensitive rock wall holds as a part of Halo Holds which won $7,500 for Best Prototype and People’s Choice at Invent Oregon 2018

Salem, Oregon, United States

• Self-managed work trimming, felling, and cutting trees
• Planned, designed, and constructed outdoor stairs, light posts, and a shed
