Versatile role covering the first chair on shift in 24/7/365 satellite operations. Lead and mentor to the Satellite Control Engineer Interns. Duties include:● First point of contact for all spacecraft, payload, and ground system anomalies○ Performed real-time evaluation of spacecraft, payload, and ground systems○ Conducted spacecraft and ground system anomaly troubleshooting and root cause analysis○ Prepared procedure updates and anomaly closure reports○ Worked with Satellite Control Engineer Interns on shift to identify and respond to anomalies● Created, tested, and troubleshooted procedures critical for the handover of ViaSat-1 (FS1300) and ViaSat-3 (BSS702)○ Created python tools for Flight Dynamics Engineers to analyze spacecraft conjunctions○ Developed standard and routine operating procedures from manufacturers’ technical documentation○ Developed contingency operating procedures in preparation for spacecraft anomaly resolution● Trained new Satellite Control Engineer Interns in live satellite operations, subsystems, and development activities

Student role covering the second chair on shift in 24/7/365 satellite operations. Duties include:● Monitored, assessed, and maintained the operational health Viasat's fleet of satellites○ Executed spacecraft command sequences at the direction of Lead Satellite Control Engineers○ Screened spacecraft telemetry for known anomalies○ Took appropriate and prompt corrective actions according to Lead Satellite Control Engineers● Created, tested, and troubleshooted procedures critical for the handover of WildBlue-1 (FS1300)○ Created python tools for Flight Dynamics Engineers to extract telemetry○ Created Excel Macros/ Visual Basic for Applications tools for Flight Dynamics Engineers○ Developed standard operating procedures from manufacturers’ technical documentation

I assist middle school students in their math problems. I set an example of a successful college student the middle school students can aspire to be.

I worked with a team of other interns to disassemble and repair control boxes to reuse the control boxes, researched, ordered parts for an actuator simulator, developed and coded an actuator simulator to help save time and money for developing new actuators, and presented our findings to the Vice President of Engineering to ultimately advocate having more Troy Tech interns next year.
