Design and evaluation of commercially operating power plant and new nuclear technology systems components and equipment to meet structural, thermal-hydraulic, and neutronic performance requirements (e.g., ASME pressure boundary evaluations), including:-Seismic and thermal analysis of reactor structures, piping, and various plant equipment to support upgrades to existing systems and design of new structures using ANSYS, AutoPIPE, and ADLPIPE.-Thermal-hydraulic analysis to support the replacement of multiple safety significant chillers using EPRI GOTHIC software.-Neutronic analysis using Monte Carlo and deterministic methods to evaluate radiation shielding design and to establish a validation basis for a new reactor fuel type. Dose consequence evaluation to establish event consequences are within applicable dose limits.-Support of past operability and root cause evaluations for components, equipment, and structures found in off-nominal conditions (e.g., level beyond minimum setpoint, welds absent from turbine generator stator frame, actuator brush plate screws absent, pump shaft failure, piping leak) through transient and steady state analysis using fluid dynamics, thermal-hydraulics, structural, and thermal evaluation tools.

Multivariable Calculus

Charlottesville, Virginia, United States

Iteratively designed and rapidly prototyped a wireless pill dispenser to track medication consumption for individuals recovering from opioid addictions, mental health disorders, and those living with chronic illnesses in an effort to improve doctor-patient communication and provide robust health indicators.Utilizes fully integrated mechatronic solution developed using CAD software, 3D printing, and PCB iteration, that optimizes production capability, cost, and addresses patient response.

Prince George, Virginia, United States

Investigated, proposed, and developed process to acquire Thermal Barrier Coating strip and recoat capabilities for all Advanced Aerofoil Machining Facility part types to a long-term benefit of $4,500,000 annual cost savings. Identified frequently produced visual defects through analysis of non-conformance data. Developed data-driven technical pack to align and relax defect standards across all part types produced at the Advanced Aerofoil Machining Facility to improve right-first-time.Worked in parallel with process owners to develop a real-time, data-driven right-first-time and capability dashboard to improve manufacturing oversight, empower machine operators, reduce production barriers, and enable the transition to a zero-defect state.

Hartford, Connecticut

Executed and led reviewing the classification markings with several team members in the Quality Notification (QN) hub to prevent an export violation of law. Transitioned legacy bug tracking software into custom-designed git repository for multi-phasic cross-functional customer-facing IT project, including developing & implementing standardized template for issue tracking. Developed automation tool to streamline COPQ reporting across mod centers, to substantial cost savings. Designed data analysis logic for wide variety of quality turn back data.
