Carson, California, US

• Rapidly ideating and designing mechanisms for architectural assemblies utilizing mechanical design, technical knowledge, and novel manufacturing methods.
• Developing product designs, assembly jigs, and test equipment in CAD and fabricating designs for production using 3D printing and CNC programming.
• Dictating tasks and priorities, leading research and development, and designing tests for the UV Printer workstation launch, leading to $70k in monthly savings.
• Employing LEAN process improvement across multi-team projects and managing product launches in ERP software to support sustainable product development.

Austin, Texas, US

• Improved Instrument Panel subcomponent designs for Model 3 and Y programs by reducing mass, production cost, interior cabin noise, and installation time.
• Collaborated with international suppliers to optimize tooling cost and mechanical properties for part launches, while integrating cross team electronic and HVAC systems into the dashboard.
• Identified issues in production parts and performed hands on reworks for experiments to demonstrate the corrective action is containing the issue.
• Launched assembly configurations based on design variations which streamline industrialization and product lifecycle management for the Fremont, Berlin, Shanghai, and Austin factories.

Evanston, IL, US

• “The Penguin” – Countertop Meat Thawer: Root caused, coded, and categorized several everyday problems to identify an in demand, novel, and marketable problem space. Ideated and tested solutions through designing.
• Sheet Metal Bracket: Employed fundamental tolerancing, datums, and calculations to design a metal bracket that would fail at a certain force.
• Injection Molded Poke Ball Toy: Manufactured plastic toys using NX and CNC milling. Applied injection molding parameters to achieve best surface finish.
• “The Shelf-Helper”: Created a temporary shelf-storage solution for small living situations. Devised a provisional patent and claims to protect Intellectual Property.
• “The GaitMaster”: Worked with users and clients from the Shirley Ryan Ability Lab to develop a functional orthosis for those suffering from shoulder subluxation.

Chicago, Illinois, US

• Designed steel skeleton, to support sixty-pound Lithium-Ion Battery, and surrounding molded paneling, integrating packaging environment in Solidworks.
• Conducted user testing, interviews, and internal design reviews to complete an RFP for external use within 6 months.
• Documented sketches, Keyshot renders, physical mockups, market research, and detailed component descriptions within a 30-page design review.

• Operated White Light Emission microscopes, taking surface readings of shape-memory alloy before and after bending and heating.
• Utilized Python and IDL to compare the power density functions of surface readings data from different microscopes to identify discrepancies.

• Simulated over 200 different surface interactions using a tribometer to track deformations on tested metals and ceramics for graduate research.
• Worked directly with graduate students to review and edit research papers for grammar and content before publication.
