System requirement validation and verification for New Glenn

Aerodynamics engineer focused on the Stability & Control aspects of certification and flight test for the 777X program. I am currently working as Flight Sciences Project Integration Manager working on requirement validation and verification towards Type Certification.

Requirement Verification and Validation for the 777X program with a focus aircraft electronics.

In this role, I provide thermal and operational Performance modeling and analysis in support of architecting Gas Turbine & Combined Cycle performance risk and guarantees. Furthermore, I work closely with Application engineering to develop control strategies in support of field performance customer issues in gas turbine and combined cycle plants. This role depends heavily on a strong thermodynamic understanding, Python, advanced cycle modeling, and problem solving.

Currently participating in the rotational program, with work including Advanced Manufacturing and Turbine Blade Design.Rotation 1: Turbine Blade Design- Performed Mechanical Creep Analysis on Turbine Blade and developed plan of action to increase the part life- Used Python to reduce Test Data Reduction time by 80%- Saved the company approximately $1 Million through scrap reduction- Interfaced with Design and Heat Transfer teams to develop long term solutions on hot-gas path hardwareRotation 2: Advanced Manufacturing- Developed optimization algorithm to interface between RaspberryPi 4 and milling machines to reduce scrap rate- Performed numerous statistical analysis case studies to examine casting variation envelopes and made recommendations for machining adjustments to successfully machine parts.- Gained experience on 5-Axis milling Rotation 3: Advanced Digital Control- Assisted in both front end (JS, HTML, CSS) and backend (Java,C#) development for various applications to monitor turbine performance- Developed Python tool to track team efficiency and mitigate over-commitment issues- Gained experience in GUI developmentRotation 4: NPI Turbine Development - Took ownership of all last stage HA blades for design and analysis - Participated in shop support, part dispositions, and engineering analysis to support fulfillment- Developed Python application to expedite part NCR dispositioning time by 80%

Between my sophomore and Senior year I participated in undergraduate research with both the head of the Aerospace Department and Space@VT. These projects included research in Aero-Acoustics, Fluid Dynamics, and quad-rotor Control Theory, all of which improved my technical knowledge of aerospace systems.

I worked with Rolls-Royce Controls and Data Services developing a simulation to test new engine controllers by emulating a hardware interface. This required the design and implementation of code developed in both C/C++ and Ada.- Developed understand of Real Time & Mission Critical System architecture- Gained experience in cross-language communication and Machine-Software interface
