Houston, Texas, United States

- Teaching assistant for RCEL 200 Development of the Engineering Leader.- Coached 9 students and provide feedback based on performance on leadership labs

Mississippi, United States

- Owned the creation of the subscale engine component testing human machine interface (HMI); it controls valves, regulators, pressure and temperature transducers, and other facility equipment to support engine development- Constructed a pneumatic system to collect the plume gasses of the liquid-fuel rocket engine Archimedes; coordinated with NASA to analyze plume gas samples for CO and CO2 concentrations for state regulation compliance- Conducted liquid natural gas and liquid oxygen fill operations in preparation of daily test site objectives- Designed and conducted operations for component end-to-end checkouts and leak tests by studying the facility P&ID- Improved critical procedures by implementing feedback from technicians to enable continuous test site operations

- Led a team of 10 members in the airframe (nose cone, fins, body tubes, and boat tail) design of the club’s first hybrid engine rocket; it reached an altitude of 26,000 feet and won first place at Spaceport America Cup 2024 in its division- Integrated our hybrid engine Titan II’s thrust curves into OpenRocket software; conducted a trade study on airframe configurations to optimize simulated altitude while ensuring stability, necessary velocities, and minimal fin flutter

- Manufactured the body, couplers, bulkheads, fins, recovery pyrotechnics, and in-flight electronics bays for various supersonic launch vehicles- Involved in launch packing, engine hot fire testing, pyrotechnic separation testing, engine assembly, and ground systems and plumbing assembly

Houston, Texas, United States

- Spearheaded team to design a test pressure chamber to simulate black powder combustion at the barometric pressure at 30,000 feet (8.14 inHg) to guarantee parachute deployment- Mitigated safety risks by calculating maximum pressure change the prototype can handle, creating a tether to prevent plug ejecting at high velocities, designing a vent-hole for in the case of ejection failure, and tested at least 20 feet away - Constructed a prototype, with a factor of safety of 10, that was able to reach vacuum in approximately 2 minutes and successfully tested combustion at 3g, 5g, and 7g of black powder

Albuquerque, New Mexico, United States

- Developed a new automated testing process using motors, sensors, PLCs, and Ignition Designer; process eliminates human error, collects test data, and has a ROI of at least $24k (160%) in 5 years - Created a human machine interface (HMI) that utilizes a SCADA system, SQL, and Modbus protocols to send manufacturing data directly to a database for statistical process control- Conducted a Design of Experiment (DOE) to determine the optimal adhesive cure rate to reduce manufacturing time;- Qualified existing automated machinery and updated stakeholders on necessary changes to the manufacturing process - Wrote new and updated old work instructions, inclusive of controlled release using the PLM system and training of production personnel

- Led a first-year team of 8 in the manufacturing of a high-wing aircraft with a conventional tail and twin-tractor prop for Design/Build/Fly 2023 competition; prioritized payload weight, flight speed, and portability- Designed and constructed detachable wing-fuselage, tail-fuselage, and landing gear-fuselage attachments for portability, while maintaining structural integrity- Modeled the aircraft, including key component integrations and compartments, in Solidworks; conducted finite-element analysis to determine stress characteristics

- Developed campus-wide workshops for leadership, resume, and interview help, assisting over 50 students- Guided engineering clubs on changeover procedures

Houston, Texas, United States
