R1: Critical Care Mechanical Team, Hemosphere Alta • Led and completed technical summaries for saline ingress and chemical compatibility reliability testing. • Designed Functional Calibration Testing Fixture to test periodically test and verify calibration on Hemosphere Alta CSM throughout reliability and DV testing - gaining experience with electro mechanical design. R2: THV R&D, Next Gen Delivery System • Designed novel nitinol component for Nexus delivery system to enable reduced push forces, implementation of a shorter balloon for safer valve delivery, and reduced risk of valve embolization – gaining hands-on experience with NiTi design, processing, prototyping, and testing (bench-top and cadaver). • Led a rapid NiTi prototyping workshop at Admedes headquarters in Germany - Designing, prototyping, and testing 17 nitinol design concepts in 3 days.R3: Advance Tech Quality, APTURE • Developed and executed TMV’s for 6 Keyence Implant Inspection Routines - gaining experience with Keyence software validation, IQs, ESS documentation, fixture TFIQs, TMVs, and Minitab data analysis. • Completed risk management worksheet for access-related procedural steps. R4: THV Sales and Clinical Specialist, LA Region • Supported and performed device prep for 130+ TAVR cases using S3U and S3UR – gaining experience with analyzing CT scans (3Mensio), sterile techniques, and cardiac anatomical knowledge.• Worked with interventional cardiologists, surgeons, and staff in 27 hospitals across the LA Region.

• Instruct students on proper operation of traditional manufacturing equipment, such as engine lathes, milling machines, welding equipment (MIG / TIG), and sheet metal equipment • Troubleshoot tooling, process, and equipment issues, and perform routine equipment maintenance • Assist students manufacturing components from technical drawings and constructing functional prototypes to meet project requirements • Assess students by grading design reports and overall performance of the prototype using standardized rubrics • Perform design reviews and oversee part manufacturing in the UF MAE Student & Faculty Shop

• Involved in a PhD study aimed to determine the relationship between implant design, soft tissue balance, and neuromuscular contributions in the success of total knee arthroplasties • Set up and use motion capture and electromyography (EMG) to examine patients during level and declined walking on an instrumented treadmill • Use computational musculoskeletal models to estimate lower extremity muscular forces and characterize lower extremity biomechanics

• Worked in Global Supply Chain in the IIM group for three months, ideating and implementing line improvements while sustaining production (NCRs, process sheet updates, equipment validations, etc.)• Led time studies implemented single piece flow in preliminary packaging (PPK) transcatheterheart valve line to reduce cycle time by 10 seconds per valve• Executed IQ and drafted report for torque machine used to seal production jars in PPK and implemented new fixture to improve ergonomics and fatigue during inspection• Assessed equipment re-validation requirements, line layout, and logistics of upcoming accessories line transfer
