--Led development of data analysis infrastructure and test-to-test data assessment process as Test Data Lead for the Additive Manufacturing Demonstrator Engine (AMDE) integrated engine test program--Developed Winplot scripts and automation tools for quickly analyzing the full AMDE engine system and test stand in real-time and during post-test data reviews--Worked closely with modeling and controls engineers to develop and implement sequence and cut-logic--Coordinated Data Review effort at MSFC for RS-25 engine testing program and formally presented results to SLS Core Stage Propulsion Chief Engineer--Analyzed test data for multiple engine programs including AMDE, RS-25, RD-181, and RL-10

Us

--Systems engineer for development of the Joint Medical Planning Tool, a DoD accredited medical logistics simulation tool on contract with the Naval Health Research Center (NHRC)--Regularly used a mixture of R and SQL programming in RStudio and SQL Server Management Studio for data analytics and testing--Developed algorithms to account for the complexities of casualty routing in a military medical network, adding significant realism to the simulation--Worked in CMMI-3 accredited software development environment

Tuscaloosa, Al, Us

--Demonstrated the performance potential of a dual-expander cycle rocket engine through a steady-state model constructed using the NASA Numerical Propulsion System Simulation (NPSS) software--Constructed a full steady-state RL-10A-3-3A model in NPSS for validation of methods used to model the conceptual dual-expander cycle engine--Analyzed performance sensitivity of the dual-expander engine through a parametric study of the design trade space--Presented and defended results in fulfillment of Master of Science thesis requirements

Tuscaloosa, Al, Us

--Led a team of 9 students to design and manufacture a high-power rocket with a gliding second stage--Was personally responsible for the design and manufacture of the wing deployment sub-system, which performed as intended on launch day--Met launch goals despite a reduction in funding from $5000 to $500 halfway through the project, forcing vehicle redesign--Presentation and design reviews required
