● Used SOLIDWORKS, 3D printers, and various engineering tools to build and test in-house prototypes of components and fixtures under aggressive timelines in a dynamic start-up company environment on the Capital Equipment team.● Independently conceived, optimized, and tested engineering solutions while collaborating across cross-functional teams (mechanical, controls, clinical, product, QA) to address challenges with a holistic product mindset. ● Produced comprehensive engineering documentation to include 2D and 3D drawings, change orders, product specifications, and technical data sheets.● Organized and managed repository of product BOM’s to streamline manufacturing and assembly processes.● Prototyped and released a novel test instrument to map robotic arm-reach constraints on patient beds using an m-CBCT. Invented a unique coordinate-system guide to enhance accuracy and usability for doctors to quickly discern instrument location in relation to target. Instrument deployed for testing in hospitals in Hong Kong. ● Prototyped, tested, and released an electrical housing box into production to safeguard maintenance teams from electric shock. Successfully sourced a new vendor which reduced cost by 80% and production time by 50%. ● Prototyped a test fixture for validation and performance analysis of button options. The test fixture actuated buttons repeatedly until failure, under 70°C temperature, and will be used to validate future potential purchases.

● Installed and maintained automated monorail track systems at large complexes like hospitals, labs, and libraries. ● Demonstrated proficiency in both independent and team roles, specializing in the demolition, installation, replacement, testing, and repair of outdated systems with new cars, tracks, and electrical sensors. ● Expertly interpreted technical drawings to assemble monorail cars and tracks at the factory, ensuring precision preparation for onsite deployment. Streamlined operation by optimizing material organization and workflow, resulting in notable reductions in production time and labor costs.● Consistently met stringent construction timelines, upheld building codes and high standards of quality and safety.

● Represented NASA as a science ambassador to promote the Psyche mission, aimed at launching an orbital probe to the Psyche-16 asteroid. ● Innovatively combined science with multimedia art to effectively communicate complex concepts to diverse audiences, enhancing public awareness and excitement about the Psyche mission.● Created and showcased four original artworks featured prominently on NASA’s social media platforms, an online gallery, and a coffee table book. ● Art pieces include “Metal Clouds”, on display at the MOXI museum, and “Falling” is exhibited at JPL headquarters, contributing to public engagement and appreciation of scientific exploration.

• Worked in a Bolivian wildlife sanctuary as a large cat handler for a conversation organization that rescues, rehabilitates, and cares for wild animals seized from illegal trafficking. • Provided basic care to jaguars, pumas and other animals (coatis, Geoffroy’s cats, birds) while living in an austere jungle environment for 5 months. Prepared food, cleaned enclosures, fed animals, and provided enrichment.• Taught educational programs concerning preservation of natural ecosystems.
