+ Live in constant fear of desk changes.+ BE-3PM MCC and Injector Technical Design Lead

+ Lived in constant fear of irreparable hardware damage.+ Sent Jeff Bezos to space.+ Owner of TCA assembly and sub-assemblies (chamber, propellant manifolds, nozzle, injector). Guide hardware through the entire manufacturing process. Write and authorize work orders directing reworks/repairs of discrepant hardware using analysis and engineering judgment.+ Knowledgeable in NDT (FPI, RT, UT) inspection of hardware. Experience with welds (GTAW, EB welds) and brazing processes.+ Support engine Test OPs and Vehicle Flight OPs with data reduction/reviews. Owner of ground-support igniter systems.+ Incrementally improve manufacturing processes and define engineering requirements.

+ Lived in constant fear of high-power microwave leaks.+ Created, procured for, and maintained an R&D lab capable of sustaining rapid design iterations ofplasma thruster elements and test facility capabilities: general lab equipment, sensors (thermal, strain, pressure, etc.), roughing/turbo/cryo pumps, test chambers, fluid fittings, valves, electrical components, machined parts, 3D printed test-support equipment, etc.+ Modeling, drawing, and machining of custom-fit components for microwave waveguides, thrust components (nozzles, chambers), vacuum components, thrust stands, and sense-line feedthroughs.+ Development of robust software (Python) to aid in rapid, reliable data acquisition for test data: RF power, vacuum and chamber pressures, PID control of heating elements, and thrust measurements.

• Lived in constant fear of an undergrad revolt.• Lead three laboratory sections of an undergraduate engineering statics class. Wrote solutions to homework assignments, created scoring rubrics, and graded lab submissions of 90+ student-sized class.• Presented example problems and discussed techniques for problem-solving. • Held office hours to answer student questions, assist with homework, and improve material understanding. Fill in for instructor and present lectures when necessary.

• Lived in constant fear of high voltage shocks.• Designed and prototyped a pulsed plasma thruster that uses micron-sized solid metallic propellants as fuel. • Characterized and scaled the thruster’s performance via experimental testing and data reduction using numerical simulations in Python.

- Lived in constant fear of hardware escapes.-Reviewed engineering drawings, manufacturing plans, and customer contracts to create, flow down, and enforce quality and engineering requirements in the production of flight/development hardware.- Traveled to Suppliers to perform Final, and In-Process, Source Inspections (First Articles, Special Processes, Testing) for chemical and electrical propulsion systems. - Drove process improvements, identified affordability projects, and developed Action & Engagement plans to improve performance of key component sub-contractors.- Coordinated with other branches of Engineering to review, identify, and justify final dispositions of discrepant components (Material Review Board, low level).

- Lived in constant fear of being a new grad.- Created and maintained metrics database based on internal escapes. - Provided cross-departmental support for other engineering branches in need of automation tools or data reduction.

- Analyzed advantages and disadvantages of using vaporized fuels mixed with energetic materials to increase efficiencies in combustion for application in modern injector-sprayed systems.- Plotted burn curves of each fuel mixture to show increases in energies extracted during combustion.
