Working in the Entry Systems and Vehicle Development branch. Currently the Lead Systems Engineer for the entry vehicle of the Dragonfly Mission that will land a nuclear powered autonomous helicopter on Saturn's moon Titan. 10+ years working on the development, testing, and analysis of new atmospheric entry, descent, and landing technologies including Hypersonic Inflatable Aerodynamic Decelerators (HIAD, LOFTID) and the Heatshield for Extreme Entry Environments Technology (HEEET).

Developer and maintainer of a product which delivers sports betting insights to media, sports, and gaming partners. Developer of a set of data science and machine learning tools used to protect the fan experience.

Reseach focused on Mars Entry, Descent and Landing technologies such as Rigid Deployable Decelerators and Supersonic Inflatable Aerodynamic Decelerators (SIADs) with a particular focus on dynamic stability condsiderations.

Developed prediction methods for parachute drag loss behind a large blunt entry vehicle

Worked in the Systems Analysis Branch where I developed a MATLAB tool to rapidly perform sensitivity studies on Thermal Protection Systems for atmospheric entry vehicles. This work resulted in a paper which was published at the 8th International Planetary Probe Workshop.

As a Technical Aide in a laser processing laboratory I worked with a team of researchers which collects and makes practical, technologies from across the company. I conducted a variety of laser systems design and research tasks such as: hands-on mechanical systems design, electronic circuit assembly, data collection and analysis, CAD design, technical documentation, laser assembly and repair, and precision laser processing and cutting.
