Subcontract Technical Manager, CAM/IPT Lead, and Deputy Program Manager for mission critical optical hardware for space applications. Experience from proposal phase of subcontract until delivery of compliant hardware. Coordinate with internal, external, and customer stakeholders to ensure technical baseline meets program needs. Experience with critical and strategic subcontracts across the operating unit, complexity ranging from component to payload level, inlcuding complex HW/SW interfaces and working with non-US suppliers.

Interim IPT Lead for program start. Conducted high level design trades and worked closely with supply chain to adapt products to design space. Product CAM for an LRIP program. Responsible for all hardware and integration tasks across subsystems.

Lasers & sensors; optical design, build, integration, test, and mission modeling.Experience with a full program lifecycle from kickoff to operational deployment serving as a laser SME.

McMorran LabFabricated nanoscale forked gratings using electron beam lithography (EBL) in a scanning electron microscope (SEM) for diffraction experiments in a transmission electron microscope (TEM). Conducted lithography process start to finish including plasma cleaning, spincoating of photosensitive resists, metal deposition, surface profilometry, and CAD software through optimizing fabrication process in a clean environment to achieve 50nm pitch. Demonstrated the Talbot effect in a transmission electron microscope to fabricate halve the pitch of straight gratings to improve diffraction resolution. Presented work at three conferences, invited to present the next year about giving poster presentations at an information seminar, featured in CAScade, an alumni magazine, showcasing undergraduate research, and gave updates at weekly group meetings. Deutsch Lab Assisted a National Science Foundation project focusing on the creation of efficient organic solar cells using surface plasmon resonance by machining a water bath to aid with capillary action of silicon microspheres on glass substrates. Used LABVIEW to create a VI to probe temperature over time. Advanced Projects LabCreated saturated absorption setup for a rubidium magneto-optical trap to observe Bose-Einstein condensate.

Taught Newtonian physics, thermodynamics, electronics, and electricity and magnetism laboratories for non-physics students with a graduate student.

Responsible for maintenance and set up of teaching labs including 18 computers, ordering equipment and daily operation of general, first and second year physics laboratories. Rehearsed lab modules with professors and graduate students prior to teaching to students.Developed new general physics labs with a professor by doing experiments and monitoring time constraints. Found solutions to problems on a tight budget, including repairs and substitutions to lab equipment.

Summer internship for a petroleum engineering firm. Tested and edited SQL code for payroll software to ensure employees were abiding by labor codes.
