Kingston, Ontario, Canada

- Designed and carried out experiments in shoulder orthopaedics; results were published in the Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery. - Designed and built experiment apparatus, including robotic equipment for testing the stability and range of motion of shoulder joint replacements.- Wrote programs and functions in MATLAB for statistical analysis, motion.

Kingston, Ontario, Canada

- Lectured, led tutorials, supervised lab sessions, and graded undergraduate courses in solid mechanics, machine design, and pressure vessels.

Halifax, Nova Scotia

- Continuation of my undergraduate group design project, "RoboConda" - a 1.8 m long, 14-segment snake robot actuated entirely by servo-driven relative motion between body segments. - Instrumented robotic snake with potentiometers, accelerometers and inertial measurement units to investigate change in gait after servo failure; results were published in.

Kingston, Ontario, Canada

- Designed conveyors and manufacturing equipment modifications for food processing companies.- Interacted with clients for sales, quotations, and design consultations.- Worked closely with machinists, welders, and fabricators to ensure that the equipment designed was practical, manufacturable, and cost-effective.

Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada

- Analyzed shock strengths of equipment foundations aboard Halifax-class frigates to ensure the safety of navy personnel.- Developed a user-friendly interface for billable time entry using C-based macros in Microsoft Excel; this was adopted by the entire engineering department in Fleetway's Halifax office.

Waterville, Nova Scotia, Canada

- Devised solutions to a number of safety issues in the plant by communicating with production and maintenance staff to better understand problems.- Completed drawing updates and drafting work in two and three dimensions using AutoCAD and SolidWorks.
