Structural design engineer responsible for large secondary structure assemblies in a major lunar transportation vehicle. Led hardware design from initial conceptual development and configuration trade studies through flight release. Coordinated with multiple vehicle subsystems and presented designs at the Critical Design Review for peer and customer evaluation.

Developed requirements for a commercial low Earth orbit spacecraft in coordination with NASADefined and establish performance metrics, including Measures of Effectiveness (MOEs), KeyPerformance Parameters (KPPs), and Technical Performance Measures (TPMs).

Supporting the SMORS Space Force engineering sustainment contract. Acting as the team lead for the Depot Maintenance Study team, the team lead for the Repairable Assets team, and the technical lead on various radar related engineering investigations.

• Used Solidworks and Teamcenter to create subcomponents of large-scale assemblies. Collaborated with subject matter experts to ensure designs were both manufacturable and cost effective.• Hand derived equations to simulate complex 3-dimentional acceleration based on the input vibration parameters, system mass, spring stiffness, and dampening coefficients. Used these equations with Solidworks stress/strain analysis tools to estimate the cyclical loading life expectancy of hardware in transit.• Drafted and published a Northrop Grumman internal technical document on how to utilize multicore processing to improve the processing speed of large-scale vibration simulations.• Provided engineering design and analysis recommendations based on results from vibration, stress, and drop test simulations.• Witnessed and set up real world vibration, stress, and vertical drop tests per MIL-STD-810H.

Led the development, population, and initiation of the new Jacobs Windchill Product LifecycleManagement (PLM) database. Collected decades worth of structural analysis data and scheduled dozensof One-on-One meetings to train every engineer on how to upload and manage their data on the newsystem.

Designed and created a laboratory asset capable of detecting the infrared radiation emitted from Lithium-Ion batteries undergoing full-capacity discharge. Connected a Raspberry Pi to an infra-red camera. Utilized the Linux based scripting language to emulate an android cell phone (the thermal cameras native environment) and manually piped the temperature data from the thermal camera to a custom-made graphical user interface (GUI)

Improved the speed and accuracy of the existing DoD warhead lethality assessment procedures byindependently developing a matrix-based vision processing algorithm capable of isolating and measuring bomb fragments in images (Python, OpenCV). Streamlined the data acquisition process by automatically exporting scan data into Microsoft Excel and creating a graphical user interface (GUI) to help new users comprehend the dataset.Improved the functionality of an optical metrology lab by hacking industrial robotics and removing thepreinstalled limitations. Connected to the OEM controller with a Raspberry-Pi and used the Linux-basedscripting terminal to read and reverse engineer the Hexadecimal communication packets between themachinery. Replaced the turntables OEM controller/microprocessor with the same raspberry pi andmanually edited the HEX packages to hack the machinery to function in ways more in line with therequirements of the team.Contracted by the FBI to create high fidelity 3D models of complex large-scale assets. Led a small teamover several weeks capturing the raw scan data and used Geomagic DesignX to process the data for rapid prototyping applications.Contracted by the Department of Defense to verify the manufacturing tolerances of the blades in turbineengines. Utilized a structured blue light 3D scanner to measure the aerodynamic profiles, surfaceroughness, and ensured the batch met Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerance (GD&T) requirements.
