The position of Chief Engineer at ARA for the Prometheus team consists of overseeing and mentoring the subsystem teams towards the development of a rocket that is capable of competing at the NASA Student Launch Competition.

The position of Propulsion Systems Lead for the Deimos team (Spaceport America Cup) consists of conducting the design and development of an engine capable of propelling a rocket up to 10,000ft at the Intercollegiate Rocket Engineering Competition.

Designed and manufacturing tooling for speeding up production of the company's 22N thrusters. Tooling includes thruster Helium leak test stand and thruster orbital tube welding stand.Supported Vermont facility's introduction of hot-fire capabilities with complete setup of a HTP/Octane test stand, followed by training on test console operations and hot-fire testing of 2N and 22N thrusters in monopropellant and bipropellant mode.Designed a blast containment enclosure for proof and burst testing of assorted pressure vessels. Task included structural analysis of enclosure walls utilizing blast theory.Designed HTP-Compatible service plug and port for fueling operations of spacecrafts, reducing the risk of ground operations and tooling costs.Performed trade study analysis of docking mechanisms for NASA's SBIR RIPCORD program, followed by analysis and defining preliminary requirements for module's communications system.

Designed and developed a high altitude vacuum chamber for the hot-fire testing of thrusters (5N-22N). The main areasof ownership included sizing and design for vacuum solution, instrument feedthrough components and cooling systems.Responsible for performing valve characterization and data acquisition. The project involved obtaining valve openingtime data and correspondent currents for 7 different solenoid valves, across 0-400 psi, and 5-28V. Also processedobtained data for future fine-tuning of thruster controls and operations.Developed a metal-plating process for electrical connector backshells, bringing the production of such components in-house and thus improving inventory availability and providing a cost-saving solution.Designed TVAC fixtures for company flight systems, improving on mechanical retention and thermal conductivity withinthe test chamber.

Responsible for developing solutions for several automobile companies across the country, ranging from developing CAD models for manufacturing and factory inspection.

Responsible for CAD management and assembly of the University of Alabama's first CubeSat, BAMA-1. The position involves thorough analysis of specification documents and team collaboration.
