Client-facing expert in numerical modeling for first principles based engineering and Knowledge Driven Product Design (KDPD).Executed and communicated finite element analysis to international medical device client, resulting in retooling of 16 cavity production mold currently running at 10M units/month volume.Developed novel phase transformation model.

Boulder, CO

I research advanced 3D printing, numerical simulation, and automated design - writing algorithms that design mechanical systems. My application focus is soft robotics: highly deformable, robust, 3D printable components and the challenges in simulating them efficiently.

Boulder CO

In my free time I like to design mechanical components in Fusion 360. Some of the better ones end up on Thingiverse, a community of designers and 3D-printing enthusiasts.

Boulder, CO

I currently consult with Aproio, and focus on increasing design robustness by integrating analytical modeling techniques into the design cycle. I've recently focused on projects in the medical device and transportation industries.

Boulder, Colorado

I currently contract with Triple Ring Technologies and provide technical support for a variety of projects relating to numerical modeling and technical analysis.

Newark, CA

At Triple Ring I work alongside a dynamic engineering team on a variety of projects in the medical device and medical imaging space. My responsibilities include executing engineering analyses to inform product design, communicating meaningful results directly to clients, and working across functional groups within Triple Ring.In order to effectively solve.

San Luis Obispo, California Area

Founder and co-organizer of successful cycling race/eating competition for charity, six years running. Responsibilities include event design, race preparation, vendor relations, merchandise design, city permitting, event fundraising and budget, and maintaining social media presence.

San Luis Obispo, California

My time at Cal Poly was enriched by a deep interest in ceramic arts. During my time as an ASI employee, I designed and taught informal classes in Beginning and Advanced Wheel Throwing. It was at the Craft Center that I was first challenged to take a leading role in constructive interaction with groups of diverse people - students, teachers, and community.
