• Designed an inner loop stability flight controller on Arduino in C++ for an autonomous glider to fly at commanded input states• Outfitted and modified the glider with instrumentation and control surfaces to allow for state feedback and control• Implemented a PID controller and Madgwick filter AHRS for attitude and state estimation that interfaces with and fuses a 6 axis IMU• Tuned various SISO controllers in the longitudinal and lateral planes using both iterative and Ziegler-Nichols ultimate gain methods• Ran CFD simulations in ANSYS to model lift to drag as a function of angle of attack for future outer loop guidance algorithms

Olathe, Ks, Us

• Collaborated with Electrical Engineer to create a testable prototype for an automotive consumer product• Designed and developed a Silicone case from concept to mass production using SOLIDWORKS as part of a team• Created and conducted test plans for mechanical systems to verify compliance with design requirements• Worked with Electrical Engineers, Industrial Designers, and toolmakers for discussion and revision of component designs

• Worked one on one with University students in engineering related coursework such as Differential Equations.• Demonstrated expertise in course material through breakdown of concepts and practice problems for clients.

• Managed Engineering to Order Teardown line: helped improve value steam maps, line architecture, and work instructions• Identified wasted manufacturing cycle time data that could be used for in depth analysis of production line balance quality, efficiency, and variation. Developed a tool in Excel to automatically run the analysis.• Worked in AutoCAD to update and improve plant wide production line layouts, inventory zones, and parking lot layout• Programmed work instructions in Visual Basic, and improved Value Stream Maps in Visio for production lines
