• Modernized and refined the ETL process for automated business performance reports while migrating pipelines from SAS to Python, expanding the accessibility and capability of the reporting infrastructure
• Evaluated the accuracy of performance goals by comparing current KPIs with historical data using Python, SAS, and Microsoft Excel

• Developed a widely applicable optimization tool using Python that furthered insights about the objectives through interactive 2D and 3D plots of the Pareto Front
• Demonstrated how the Pareto Set is leveraged to estimate potential performance increases, understand the relationship between competing objectives, and identify how design constraints constrict the feasible design space

• Tasked by Air Force Research Laboratory to increase the thrust to weight ratio of a micro-gas turbine engine
• Designed thrust augmenting nozzle that improved exit pressure and reduced flow swirl; Resulted in a 33% increase in T/W and placed 2nd out of 12 other competing universities
• Developed a thermodynamic model of the engine using Numerical Propulsion System Simulation. Fit the baseline engine performance within 10% error of experimentally measured engine performance
