Proud member of a multidisciplinary, cross-functional team of engineers to deliver 3 innovative engineering solutions to robotic satellite docking simulation experiments for Orbital ATK. • Teamwork: Collaborated closely with an interdisciplinary team of engineering students and professionals from Orbital ATK and JHU.• Analysis: Identified 3 key issues with existing designs. Developed robust solutions that provided ease of use and new functionality for our clients. • Negotiation: Captured project design and performance requirements during milestone design reviews to deliver exceptional solutions. • Design: Redesigned and integrated a weight management system that reduced the time to change the mass properties of model satellites from 4 hours to 30 minutes.• Design: Developed and implemented a cold gas-joystick controlled propulsion system to actuate model satellites in one plane zero-g. • Integration & Test: Developed and implemented test plans and procedures to validate mission design and performance requirements. Designed testing rigs to measure the force output generated by cold gas thrusters. • Verification: Evaluated sub-system and system-level performance, and operations after testing and integration to meet all project requirements.• Documentation: Maintained project documents which included bi-weekly reports, engineering logs, records, meeting minutes, presentations, test plans, operation manual, final design report, and a poster to present our final product.It floats like a hockey puck!

Developed a new baffle system to mitigate the effects of scattered light for the Far-ultraviolet Off Rowland-circle Telescope for Imaging and Spectroscopy (FORTIS) on NASA sounding rocket missions.• Analysis: Analyzed material reflectivity and recommended the best material for maximum mission performance. • Manufacturing: Developed cost and time effective procedures to prepare and machine over 730 parts.• Assembly: Assembled and integrated the baffle system into the telescope. This thing went to space...for a few minutes at least!

Designed and built an autonomous robot to locate and collect ping pong balls on colored towers to a designated location. Competed and finished in 1st place among 10 other teams.• Mechanical Design: Built a 1.5ft x 1ft. x 1ft. robot to encapsulate over 90% of design challenge goals.• Electronics Design: Developed electronic hardware to provide sensing via computer vision and actuation via omni-wheel, Kiwi drive design. • Integration & Test: Configured and integrated electronic hardware components into the robot. Tested and verified electronic components for functionality. If you're interested, there's a video of its final run!
