• Wrote Python scripts to organize data, process data, and automate workflow processes. Examples of such scripts include: a script designed to take hundreds of pictures of simulations and then insert them into a word.

• Designed and built a “Salt Vessel” using SolidWorks and engineering judgement to melt FLiNaK salt at 1300˚F and transport it to a desired location through the use of pressurized argon gas
• Used Python to run calculations on the the fluid flow, heat transfer, and hydraulic properties of FLiNaK in a heat transport system
• Conducted experiments which tested the thermal properties of FLiNaK and used Python to organize and process the data gathered
• Developed an orifice plate using… Show more
• Developed an orifice plate using SolidWorks, Python, and research to induce a specific amount of pressure losses on the water moving through a prototype of the nuclear reactor’s heat transport system to test the.

• Tested mechanical, optical, and electrical components
• Optimized production checklists for inspections
• Prototyped a "Raptor on a plate" for testing purposes. This required me to solder and crimp wires, assemble electrical components to mimic a Laser Tracker and update the electrical boards with the latest software.

• Shadowed the Engineering Department where I was taught how to use SolidWorks and create mechanical components using SolidWorks, create a mechanical drawing, 3D-print a mechanical component, test that 3D-printed part to.
• Used relevant information to explain the failure rate of various parts
