• Design conversational AI for state-of-the-art customer service experiences.• Leverage modern NLP models and tools to create high quality interactions that are natural and informative.

• Consultant for the Extended Range Cannon Artillery (ERCA) Self-Propelled Howitzer project for the United States Army, Combat Capabilities DEVCOM.• Modify baseline configuration through Engineering Change Proposals, a critical step in resolving design challenges as they appear in manufacturing and testing.• Implement retrofits and on-the-line changes through Requests for Variance to ensure the vehicle meets schedule and spec by implementing acceptable workarounds instead of completely scrapping a part if it is not to spec or an unforeseen issue arises.• Design parts and drawings in CAD using Creo Parametric, and utilized Windchill, a PLM solution for version control and configuration management.• Incorporate best practices in Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing per ASME Y14.5 to prevent tolerance stack-up and clearly communicate design intent, which reduces machining costs.• Conduct design reviews for manufacturing, weldment, and assembly drawings, and helped other engineers through the process of design initiation to fabrication.• Direct and review First Article Tests (FATs) to ensure components accurately meet spec.• Successfully met parallel objectives with little oversight, utilizing contacts made at relevant Integrated Product Teams for support when needed, and escalating issues when appropriate.• Regularly travel independently to manufacturing site to conduct inspections, Statement of Work reviews for new build configurations, and provide real-time support on manufacturing issues as they arise.

Spearheaded the resolution of many engineering challenges associated with developing, integrating, and qualifying a major Bomb Rack Unit on the F-35B and C Fighter Aircraft. Developed requirements for loads and strength analyses, thermal analysis, and fatigue and damage tolerance analyses, which are critical artifacts to qualify airworthiness for our system.Excellent team player, and was commended by leadership on ability to bring a diverse team together on several difficult issues by coming to the table prepared and focusing on the critical topics at hand.

Designed equipment for use in state-of-the-art jet propulsion lab facilities. In one project, I developed an adapter, using SolidWorks and FEA, that increased the efficiency of the jet by injecting high pressure air into the main jet stream, inducing turbulence. Maintained lab equipment, such as pneumatic piston device to control a wind tunnel, and high pressure water piping to act as liquid cooling for a high temperature combustion jet. These responsibilities required a strong knowledge of high pressure piping, valves, and instrumentation devices in both air and water applications.
