lightspeed fabrication for physical matter – metal 3d printing on your desk, budget, & timeline

solving problems and writing code across Materials, iOT, R&D, and Slicer teams! #OneTeamalso some fun exploratory work and contributions to IP :) computer vision, pathing optimization, materials/information synergy(this role was created to reflect the value proposition of my cross-team skillset)

optimizing print processes with computational methods across composite and metal digital manufacturing

Dev lead and chief computational designer for Metarkitex, an experiential design collective. I developed the generative architecture pipeline to stochastically evolve unique architectural forms given an input vector of habitability requirements, as well as novel meshing algorithms to interface directly with the user via guiFeatured in architectural review

• 12 months full time as a process engineering coop on the Fuse1 SLS team • Script generation and codebase maintenance for experimental print process work• Project lead on patent-pending SLS artifact mitigation algorithm• Project lead on SLS layer height testing and settings optimization work• Developed through understanding of SLS print processes, line by line and step by step from digital geometry to printed object.• Experimental composites research

Fast-turnaround development of biomedical IoT devices, electromechanical systems for swarm robots, and low-cost analog devices.

Teaching Assistant for graduate making course at MIT. Prepared and hosted biweekly labs, assisted with lecture, and trained students on proper safety and operating procedure of makerspace equipment.

Full time summer researcher, developed a robust accelerometer-based surface classification system for E-Scooter behavioral monitoring. Developed an Android app interfacing AWS services for data collection/processing. Modified existing E-Scooter with $0.25 sensor and successfully implemented algorithm to demonstrate commercial feasibility. Sole author of research paper, pending publication in Sustainable Cities and Societyhttps://dxhub.calpoly.edu/challenges/escooter-surface-classification/

Development of electromechanical systems for a wearable biomedical device capable of continual lateral flow immunoassay testing.https://www.media.mit.edu/projects/wearable-lab-on-body/overview/

Development of custom battery adapter cable and subsequent success on Kickstarter in 2014. Continued to sell via webstore until 2018 when I closed the operation before moving to Boston to attend MIT.https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1nxtmonster/minizip-compact-power-for-your-lego-creations

Year-long product design cycle resulting in a low-cost, high-quality 3D printer for hobbyists. Launched on Kickstarter in 2016, the project was on the trajectory to being funded in the first several days of the campaign before concurrent product releases dried up the pledge revenue stream. An incredible learning experience and foray into the worlds of engineering, manufacturing and supply chain, and marketing.https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/pingo3d/pingo-high-quality-affordable-3d-printerhttps://printing3d.news/en/kickstarters-latest-venture-pingo3d/
