Role and Responsibilities: • Collaborated with customers to design high-vacuum tooling for thin-film physical vapor deposition chambers according to their coating specifications and dimensions, completing hand-written and computational analysis to account for thermal expansion from environmental conditions, and ensuring part lead times were on track with customer timelines• Consistently communicated with local and international manufacturing companies to determine an appropriate balance between quality and cost, designing around their subtractive or additive manufacturing capabilities, and in-person collaboration • Worked closely with the maintenance department to implement modifications in physical vapor deposition chambers, flat glass washing machines, and optical in-line inspection systems, investigating mechanical or electrical failures encountered during production

Role and Responsibilities:• Analyzed the energy use of local companies through on-site audits and provide them a report detailing methods of improving overall efficiency.• Calculated the investment and payback model of various energy efficiency improvements, including lighting, HVAC, heating, and production equipment.

Department Of Engineering, Sdsu

Role and responsibilities: • Thesis investigated how a fuel’s ignition delay time varies with heat flux and ignition source distance, promoting fire safety in spacefaring vehicles.• Developed a research device that utilized infrared imaging to detect ignition and measure the heat flux distribution across a cellulose fuel.▪ Programmed the MATLAB GUI with I/O signals from the power supply, IR camera, stepper motor controllers, as well as automatic tabulation of data in excel format.

San Diego State University

Role and Responsibilities:• Organized and coordinated campus events, ensuring they operated smoothly and efficiently.• Transported supplies and equipment, organized inventory, and handled frequent interaction with customers.

San Diego State University

Role and Responsibilities: • Designed a SolidWorks engine testing stand that can hold a 4-cylinder engine, radiator, dynamometer, fuel tank, and ECU.• Programmed a MATLAB file that correlates airflow rate to the camshaft angle, assisting our team in determining the optimal camshaft for our application.

Department Of Engineering

Role and Responsibilities: • Manufactured a scaled-down (1/8) version of a hydraulic jack capable of lifting 55,000 pounds (prototype lifted 25 pounds and withstood the weight of 140 pounds with lock system).• Fabricated the assembly with aluminum, steel, and plastic syringes; utilizing milling machines and water jetting for high-precision miniature components.• Produced two versions of the heavy-lift system, with the second model improving on stability and weight reduction.
