R&D Product Engineer for Lifoam Industries with a focus on sustainable cold chain packaging solutions for the pharmaceuticals and life sciences industries. Responsible for aspects of project management (Smarsheet), design (SolidWorks), thermal analysis (SmartCAE Mathematica module), and thermal testing of new projects and customer requests. Previously managed west coast ISTA-certified thermal testing laboratory with 3 walk-in environmental chambers. Created thermal test post-processing tool using Python, Pandas, and Matplotlib to reduce analysis time for large datasets from 20+ minutes to 13 seconds and automate reporting. Additionally, responsible for coordinating third-party testing to support sustainability claims and certification efforts on biodegradable materials for new product development.

Spacecraft Structural Design Engineer within the Phantom Works Advanced Space Exploration division with a focus on aerospace composites design and fabrication. Primarily supported the Boeing CST-100 spacecraft, part of NASA's Commercial Crew Program. Supported during the entirety of the Commercial Crew Integrated Capability phase (CCiCap) by working development of the Service Module by preparing Model Based Definition data sets (3D engineering drawings) for release in support of program Critical Design Review. Select design experience included aluminum honeycomb sandwich structures and composite solar array substrate panels. Boeing was selected for a follow-on contract worth $4.2B for the Commercial Crew Transportation phase (CCtCap).Awarded NASA's Space Flight Awareness Team Award for efforts in vehicle mass reduction.

Served as a Teaching Assistant for CAS 100A (Effective Communication Strategies for Engineers) under Professor Michael Alley in Spring 2011 and Professor Melissa Marshall in Spring 2012. The class focused on using the assertion-evidence slide design for the purpose of technical presentations. Duties included administrative tasks and running critique sessions for 28 students.Employed as a Teaching Intern for the Mechanical and Nuclear Engineering Department under professor Stephen Turns. Attended an eight-week training seminar on teaching strategies through the Leonhard Center. Duties included administrative tasks and holding review sessions for two junior-level fluid dynamics classes in fall 2010 and one sophomore-level thermodynamics class in spring 2011.

East Hartford, Ct, Us

Completed a six month assignment in the Hot Section Engineering Combusters, Augmentors, and Nozzles (CAN) Module Center, working detailed design and production support tasks for the exhaust systems (nozzle and liners) of the F119 military jet engine (powering the F-22 Raptor). Completed over 40 hours of on-the-job training, including Unigraphics NX and Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing (GD&T). Spearheaded a multi-university committee of 10 interns to present a solution to senior level executives on how to improve the internship program (Solution was accepted outright and provided manpower and $20K budget for 2012 intern class).

Schenectady, Ny, Us

Worked as a member of the Stability and Radiological Nuclear Analysis Center of Excellence for one of the leading boiling water reactor fuel vendors in the country. Utilized the GE version of a transient reactor analysis code (TRACG), as well as the 3D modeling code PANAC11 to do thermal hydraulic and neutronics calculations on a phenomena known as rod drop accidents. Also planned a 10-person skydiving trip for interns as a member of the social ambassadors committee.

Baltimore, Maryland, Us

Worked on-site at a dual-unit boiling water reactor nuclear power plant (Limerick Generating Station) as a member of the Reactor Engineering group. Maximized the efficiency of the fuel shuffling process during reloading outages by using ShuffleWorks to determine optimal operating parameters. Identified 804 fuel bundles ineligible for dry storage to increase the capacity of spent fuel pools while maintaining fuel history sheets for bundles being moved into dry storage.
