Managed a team of 3 for custom valves development from 2020 to 2021. Designed and manually machined a liquid oxygen main valve using a PEEK poppet and nitrogen pneumatically piloted piston.Performed heat transfer analysis and DFMA on a coaxial swirl ignitor design.Contributed towards the development of a sensor truth/noise model using the teams Simulink 6DOF flight dynamics model.

Designed, manufactured, and implemented a complete fuel system for the 2019 race car involving CNC water jet cutting, thin wall sheet metal fabrication, and welding.Packaged components with respect to neighboring assemblies using Solidworks PDM, risk assessments, and strong team-oriented communicationUsed historical data and Matlab studies to establish an efficient but safe fuel volume. Designed 2020 fuel system with iterative modifications for more efficient manufacturing and greater reliability.Manually TIG welded the 2020 chassis in 4130 Chromoly ranging from 0.028” to 0.095” wall.

Drafted piping and instrumentation diagrams for water treatment facilities concerning all water, chemical, and control systems from the wells to the facility effluent pipes.Utilized R to perform a long-term failure analysis of existing wells. Predicted lifetimes were then used to quantify risk to pumping station supply.Communicated with suppliers to replace reservoir hatch covers and drafted engineering diagrams.Maintained vital plant records and filed them.Sampled filter media depths for the 2018 sanitary survey.
