I support the Advanced Electro-Optical Infrared Systems product line as hardware integrated product team leader and cost account manager, maintaining cost, schedule, and technical progress on multiple multimillion-dollar development efforts for 20+ hardware designs including optical subassemblies, line replaceable units, and circuit card assemblies.

Rolling Meadows, Illinois, United States

I served as lead hardware engineer on 2 separate electro-optical infrared targeting system programs overseeing aircraft subsystem development, coordinating between mechanical, electrical, software, and system engineering, and providing hardware development status to both internal and external stakeholders.

Madison, Wisconsin, United States

I served as a propulsion design engineer and team leader in support of multiple rocket motor development efforts with duties including:1) Serving as team leader and subject matter expert for the manufacturing of proprietary hybrid rocket motor fuel2) Serving as team leader in the design and testing of proprietary hybrid rocket motor insulation3) The design and modeling of rocket engine feed systems including component and material selection, line sizing, and pressure drop analyses4)The creation of a predictive performance model for a second-stage reaction control thruster using remnant gaseous propellant to control deorbit maneuvers5) The development of transient thermal models in MATLAB to estimate combustion chamber and nozzle heat fluxes during rocket development testing

Madison, Wisconsin, United States

As a propulsion design engineer, I possess a diverse skill set with experience that spans the entire development process including conceptual and detailed design, fabrication, and testing. My roles and responsibilities include:1) Mechanical design engineer of rocket engine test hardware including gas and liquid injectors, water-cooled nozzles, and combustion chambers.2) Lead feed system designer and test support for a second stage hybrid rocket engine3) Developer of electron beam welding work instructions to support DreamChaser reaction control thruster development

Madison

As a propulsion engineer co-op, I provided critical support to the engineering team by overseeing multiple independent projects and experiments:1) Infrastructure upgrades in the hardware cleaning lab through the purchasing of new equipment including sinks, vacuum sealers, and deionized water supply lines and the redesign of the lab floor plan to streamline the cleaning process.2) The design and installation of a new data acquisition system to support rapid design and development of rocket engines in our onsite test cell.3) 3D solid modeling and mechanical drawings for rocket engine test hardware.4) Testing of bolted mechanical joints for sealing under high temperature and pressure.

Madison

I maintained and operated a mixed hydrocarbon gas Joule-Thomson refrigeration cycle experiment for cryosurgical probe applications in support of graduate student research.
