- Authored a 40+ page RF Receiver, Sounding Rocket Environmental Qualification procedure that included thermal-vacuum, acceleration, and shock testing adhering to NASA Standards- Tested a Low Noise Amplifier, RF Limiter, and RF Power Divider to ensure parts uphold manufacturer's specifications for scattering parameters and output power levels- Characterized voltage input/output relationship for over 100 Dataforth load cell signal conditioning modules

- Provided project management and technical leadership in the design, development, and testing of rocket structures, deployable payload, and ground station subsystems- Developed OpenRocket models and performed flight simulations to determine the payload mass margin based on a competition requirement for an apogee of 900 to 1500 feet- Implemented Git workflow into team software development efforts, solving issues with version control amongst the electronics sub-team

- Created a MATLAB app allowing users to easily generate & run XML inputs for a proprietary safety risk-calculation program, saving hours during the risk analysis process of roughly 20 sounding rocket launches per year- Developed a MATLAB app for calculating wind-effect coefficients used in Lewis Method wind-weighting of sounding rockets- Created a MATLAB program that modifies and creates new Trajectory Analysis & Optimization Software input files utilizing the software's case-by-case analysis feature, which now saves hours of Monte-carlo computation time for each sounding rocket mission- Calculated the Launch Hazard Area for the 36.354 Krueger Sounding Rocket mission launching from Wallops late 2023 using a probabilistic risk analysis process in adherence with NASA's Procedures & Guidelines
