Designed, analyzed, tested, and oversaw production and integration of flight hardware to enable Starship to perform on-orbit and landing burns, responsible engineer for stainless steel propellant feedline structures and cryogenic thermal insulation

Designed, analyzed, and oversaw production of test stand hardware for payload volume qualification tests and nosecone production tooling

Atlanta, Georgia, United States

Analyzed and assisted in design of 3D printed battery pack structure and PBC stack for Subscale rocket

Designed and coordinated Starship payload door manufacturing pathfinder test, designed and analyzed payload door stiffening structuresDesigned and analyzed raceway aerocover

Designed and analyzed secondary structures on the Terran 1 launch vehicle; created CAD models of the raceway covers and slosh baffles in NX, used Femap and Nastran to perform finite element analysis to minimize massPerformed a trade study of the wiring harnesses behind the second stage avionics quick disconnect to minimize sizeDesigned a pressure test to evaluate different sealing methods for the raceway cover Performed a trade study to determine the optimal size, spacing, and number of slosh baffles in propellant tanks to minimize mass

Greater Atlanta Area

Led manufacturing of a high power L2 rocket capable of active control during supersonic flight (TIAT Project)Developed and tested a CNC composite filament winder to manufacture fiberglass airframes and composite overwrapped pressure vessels

West Boylson, Ma

Created parameterized SolidWorks models of tractor and utility vehicle windshields and roofs to make it faster to design new aftermarket cabs. Used SolidWorks equations to drive the dimensions of the parts and to automatically generate open and closed configurations for the window latches.

Used tensile testing machines to collect data on epoxy bonds and mechanical properties of custom parts.Performed over 75 Instron tests to determine the maximum allowable epoxy bond gap during assembly

Collected and analyzed flight data from flying car vehicle tests, performed safety checklists before and after each flight, operated and maintained vehicle telemetry and camera systems, monitored engine performance during flight, used VHF radio to communicate with the test pilot and air traffic controllers from the chase truckDesigned assembly jigs and fixtures for full scale production of the Transition flying car, used 3D printing to create functional parts to hold the aft spar securely in the correct orientation while bonding

Assisted in pre-preg layup of carbon fiber parts, wet layups, and vacuum infusion of fiberglass parts; designed 3D printed flow nozzles to guide the flow of epoxy during the infusion processPerformed tests of various configurations of small scale VTOL vehicle; assisted in tuning roll rates and PID values to stabilize flight; tested autonomous GPS flight control and landing of model airplane using Pixhawk flight controller and QGroundcontrol Designed human-machine interfaces for a flight simulator of TF-X vehicle, used 3D printing to create a prototype shifter mechanism with integrated potentiometers for position sensing

Woods Hole, Ma

Used cameras and microscopes to document geological samples from ocean floorUsed video and sensor data from ROV dives to timestamp various views of underwater geological features and show their position on a map of the sea floor
