• Implemented a new controlled document type company-wide that would make it easier for engineers and process owners to create documents to make processes more efficient.
• Conducted two internal audits with a team of quality engineers for conformity and potential process improvements under ISO 9001:2015 and ISO/IEC 17025 guidelines.
• Proposed a CAPA and presented the opening findings that triggered a CAPA response to the CAPA board.
• Reviewed SOPs and other documents to address an audit finding and contacted process owners to update applicable controlled documents to address the verification of effectiveness.
• Assisted with the transition of the supplier control database to a more user-friendly system by attaching forms, and documents, and whether a supplier audit was required.

• Documented CubeSat design, testing procedures, and integration processes for future iterations of the project.
• Determined most cost-effective 3-D metal laser-cutting service for the exterior skeleton of a 3U CubeSat.
• Used SolidWorks assembly to create a model of the shelving design and integration of the payload into the rocket.
• Fabricated, used OpenRocket, laser-cutting, and selected parts to construct a successful level 1 rocket to receive a National Association of Rocketry certification.

• Designed a solution to postpartum hemorrhaging, a life-threatening issue that accounts for 25% of maternal deaths worldwide.
• Conducted tests with an Instron machine to assess the mechanical properties of grafts that had been conditioned in 12 days of a phosphate buffer solution.
• Iterated upon MATLAB code to determine the forces applied to a model uterus using Velostat.
• Utilized SolidWorks to design a deformable crush fit to ensure that needles are secure in novel suture packaging.
• Researched and developed a flexible pressure sensor to assess the forces applied to the uterus using the suture technique vs. the leading surgical techniques to mitigate PPH.
