• Responsible for the production of approximately 10 different parts through the foundry process; collaborate with part owners on DFM for the casting process; illustrate work order instructions for each part to clearly convey production intent; guided technicians on the floor to incorporate feedback into work orders and provide process input• Overhauled the foundry shelling line by designing a drop-in replacement, double-layer part hanging system, orchestrated manufacturing across multiple vendors, and installed over a holiday weekend with the maintenance team and machine movers, resulting in zero down-time and doubling area throughput which was the process bottleneck• Improved de-gating operations in the foundry by replacing an inadequate cutting process with a new water jet machine, with first-of-its-kind probing, and custom tooling solution achieving a 5X increase in throughput; trained technician staff on operation and collaboratively developed standard operating procedures with technician guidance• Spearheaded the use of PowerBI for analyzing throughput performance throughout the foundry with a comprehensive dashboard system; highlighted as examples throughout SpaceX and Tesla for process mapping capability

• Designed tooling and ground support equipment for the production of orbital class rockets and interplanetary starships using NX and Teamcenter, and performed FEA analysis with Nastran, worked collaboratively across engineering disciplines, manufacturing, and quality to ensure on-time delivery of mission critical tooling• Directed a network of vendors in the manufacturing of projects ranging from single-use development parts, to a multi-million dollar project to create more than 30 composite tools for the interior of next-generation spacecraft• Utilized 3D printing to develop a previously thought impossible project of molding RTV flight environmental seals and nosecone docking seal in-house, saving more than $100k per flight, launching a new production technique• Authored and cross-reviewed engineering drawings to ASME 14.5-2009 GD&T specifications; used Angular.JS to create drawing note organizer, which inspired a company effort to create an in-NX note app now used by all engineers

• Supervised more than 20 student employees and managed day-to-day activities for the upkeep of the machine shop; provided engineering consultation for new product development and strategy for local companies• Directed the design and layout of the ~$2M Thayer machine shop renovation and upgrade, teaming with building management to create a new student workspace, supporting an increase of >20K hours of student work per year• Implemented a work validation program resulting in a formalized training and advancement program for new hires• Developed a SolidWorks teaching handbook used for the mechanical engineering curriculum, reaching 100% of Thayer students throughout their coursework, additionally used for K-12 summer and out-reach programs• Adapted lean 5S strategies to create individualized workstations for all equipment in the machine shop resulting in increased user satisfaction and a unified instruction set, resulting in as much as 50% quicker project creation

• Directed the design and layout of the ~$2M Thayer machine shop renovation and upgrade, teaming with the architects and building management to create a one-of-a-kind student work space. By utilizing feedback from students and machine manufacturers, ergonomic work areas were laid out to maximize usability from students, supporting over 20K hours of student work in 2014 • Provided engineering consultation for new product development and strategy to project managers at local companies. One such consultation prevented a VT based grinding company from investing in a new product that would have underperformed compared to foreign counterparts• Simultaneously mentored approximately 4 classes per term (~20 hour/week, 40-80 students/class) from academic support, to SolidWorks assistance, and project guidance. • Strengthened connections between computer services and students, resulting in state-of-the-art fabrication spaces. One such project involved networking manufacturing machines, eliminating the need for USB or floppy disks for file transfer, streamlining the prototype manufacturing process.• Designed and fabricated testing platforms and equipment for the research staff and faculty typically for medical device development using a variety of prototyping techniques from finite element analysis (FEA) studies to rapid prototyping.

Responsible for the design and development of the company's novel endoscopic stabilization device. Iterated the initial design through multiple phases of development with input from medical professionals during ex vivo studies while optimizing the design for manufacturing. Fabricated prototypes for testing using CNC and manual machining; selected materials based on medical viability. Large-scale models were created for demonstration during business and investment proposals. Guided IP option development for patent protection and future technology inclusion.

Single-handedly organized a regional tournament for FIRST LEGO League for approximately 200 elementary and middle school students. Created a mentorship program for underprivileged and rookie teams. Cast multiple large LEGO figures for use as trophies using silicone block molds and a thermoset plastic.
