R&D / Mechanical Engineer with 3 years experience in the orthopaedic/spinal fusion medical device industry. Assisted in the design & development of a Biplanar Expandable Interbody System while on the Fusion Team at Spine Wave, Inc., resulting in FDA 510(k) clearance and market release.- In 2020 I co-developed a human micro-physiological knee joint chip as part of Dr. Hang Lin's research into osteoarthritis treatments.- In 2019 I created thermal analysis models of a satellite imaging device as part of a National Science Foundation funded competition through UPitt's Center for Space, High-performance, and Resilient Computing (SHREC).- From 2019-2020 I created physical education tools for the Western Pennsylvania School for the Blind as part of Dr. Joseph Samosky's Classroom-to-Community (C2C) initiative.My interest in engineering has developed with my love for music. I collect analog production and audiophile gear, vinyls and cassettes, and tinker with audio-reactive software and microcontroller projects in my spare time.If you are interested in my work or projects, please see my website portfolio at the link in my profile.Skills:SolidWorks (CAD) | Autodesk Fusion 360 | Verification & Validation (V&V) | Medical Device Development | ISO 13485 | ASTM F2077 | ASTM D4169 | Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing (GD&T) | ANSYS | Finite Element Analysis (FEA) | Heat Transfer Analysis | Parametric Modeling | DMLS/SLA/FDM 3D Printing | CNC Machining | Carbon DLS Printing | Hand Tooling | Manufacturing | Circuit Design | Soldering | MATLAB | Simulink | C++ | LabVIEW | Max/MSP | Arduino IDE | Microsoft Office Suite | Technical Documentation | Bill of Materials (BOM) | Design Thinking
