• Co-Founder and Vice President
• Helped jumpstart the second robot-sumo organization in the nation. This consisted of months’ worth of logistical planning, registration paperwork, advertising, etc.
• Worked closely with the executive board to schedule events, run meetings, select team members, and keep a constant line of communication with UF Student Government.Mechanical Team Lead
• Worked within a small group of engineers to 3D design and manufacture a fully autonomous sumo robot which is intended to compete in the international All Japan Robot-Sumo Competition.
• Focused specifically on the frame as well as part placement within the robot, taking into consideration dimension limitations, center of gravity, motor selection, traction and push force, speed vs. torque, pull force.
• Used SOLIDWORKS to develop an initial prototype for our first robot, which is to be used for our first competition.

West Chester, Pennsylvania, United States

• DePuy Synthes
• Utilized CREO to improve the design of an existing surgical instrument applied to a distal radius plate. Changes were made to reflect surgeon feedback of the prior iteration.
• Re-worked various technical drawings after de-featuring and model changes were made to a line of template plates in development by a newly acquired company.
• Exposed to DFMEA and Hazard Analysis documentation as applied to a line of products in the foot-and-ankle orthopedic space.
• Reviewed literature surrounding existing technologies and innovations being developed for Hallux Valgus procedures.

• Tooling and Technical Drawing Department
• Worked on revising and creating drawings for parts and/or assemblies sent in by various customers using SolidWorks - ranged from complex medical-grade cable structures to machine tooling and fixture devices.
• Worked on 3D designing dozens of mechanical in-shop parts and assemblies (tooling reworks, fixtures for existing machines, safety devices, etc.) as requested by employees on the production floor. This included creating.
• Communicated with many engineers and factory workers around the shop to understand their desires in the case of part requests, and to ensure that revised and created drawings met customer specifications.

• Surgical Team Project Lead (September 2021 - April 2022)
• Act as the project lead for the Cholecystectomy team, which encompasses leading meeting discussions, setting project goals and deadlines, filling out material order forms, and communicating the project status and.
• Utilize CAD programs such as Meshmixer to refine and enhance anatomical designs such as a Liver, Gallbladder, and Common Duct for a printed Cholecystectomy model which will be used as a training mechanism by future.
• Researched cost-effective material options that could mimic fat tissue, leading to the selection of cotton balls and a silicone sheet which would save $78 as compared to a more expensive silicone elastomer.
• Engage in the design process with a team to innovate effective ways to manufacture and assemble the product as well as make it intuitive to quickly set up for procedure.
