During graduate school I was worked for Florida International University and their research on non-destructive methods for structural health monitoring. The work was a combination of data acquisition and software programming. I was in charge of performing data acquisition with ADCs and LabVIEW for a Laser Vibration Detector. I also wrote code in MATLAB and C++ to analyze the data. My graduation project revolved around programming Microcontrollers and DSPs to analyze signals and reduce the size of the bulky equipment needed for testing.In my professional career, I worked as a Development Engineer for Costex Tractor Parts, an aftermarket supplier of replacement parts for Caterpillar equipment. I created 3D models and 2D production drawings in SolidWorks as part of the new product development process. I helped develop a wide range of products from complex parts like air compressors, oil pumps and hydraulic components to simple parts like nuts, bolts, hoses, and fittings. I also worked closely with the company machine shop and mechanics to disassemble complex parts to inspect build quality and the internal components. I am comfortable working in an office as well as the shop floor. Currently I have work at the Carnegie Institute of Science Geophysical Laboratory. As a research engineer I act as an intermediary between the scientists and the laboratory machine shop. I take research concepts and ideas and transform them into SolidWorks 3D models and 2D drawings to create new research tools or modifications to equipment that is used to facilitate research. In my time at Carnegie I worked on large scale projects such as a laboratory bench for high pressure experiments, a vacuum oven system, a press cooling system and a laser machining system with micron level precision. I also work actively in the laboratory setting up new equipment and training new users.

Listed skills include Microsoft Office, Statistics, Matlab, Engineering, and 23 others.
