Durham, North Carolina, United States

Led a team of 20+ undergraduate engineers in designing a high-performance powertrain for FSAE-IC competition, securing team's highest-ever powertrain design score of 20/25. Increased peak power output by 30% and reduced time to shift by 75% through implementation of projects including a turbocharged intake and exhaust system, electronic shifting system and improved fuel system. Achieved aggressive driving deadline (1 month ahead of previous year) allowing team to increase total drive days by 600% (from 6 to 36+).

Durham, North Carolina, United States

Designed, machined, and constructed exhaust and intake systems for the team's first turbocharged car. Determined the optimal final drive ratio through Excel analysis and designed, CAM'd, and machined appropriate sprocket and sprocket adapter using SolidWorks, Omax waterjet, and CNC Mill. Reduced sprocket weight by 15% utilizing FEA analysis. Additionally, designed and built a chassis dynamometer using an inertial flywheel, Hall effect sensor, and Arduino to plot engine power curves.

Berkeley, California, United States

Reduced torque spec verification time by 90% for satellite assembly by creating VBA Excel application to calculate failure mode probabilities. Delivered two fully assembled flight-model satellites while adhering to detail-oriented technical documentation throughout inspection, cleaning, and assembly processes. Enabled radio frequency characterization of rocket section by constructing 1:1 scale, 500 lb model.

Berkeley, California, United States

Developed, validated, and delivered designs for upcoming NASA spaceflight proposal. Designed multiple prototypes targeting a range of ConOps considerations using SolidWorks CAD & FEA and utilized Python for data analysis. Collaborated with and advised PI's and project leads from multiple major Aerospace agencies. Additionally, completed ESD-sensitive test deployments for satellite antennae in a cleanroom environment, including data acquisition and analysis on flight-model components under T-VAC conditions to simulate spaceflight conditions.

I used SketchUp in combination with drone photography to map out the protruding walls of the Akapana pyramid at Tiahuanaco, Bolivia. I utilized photographs, explorer's notes, and Google Earth to locate loose, buried, and destroyed stones to aid the recreation of a building on top of the Akapana. I also used google earth and Differential GPS data to create an accurate, textured topographical map of the site. My work was pivotal in Dr. Alexei Vranich's recreating of the archaeological site. Using my model of the existing stones, I was able to predict the location of a sunken wall that had been buried. Part of the new wall was then excavated, with the rest being scanned using ground and aerial thermal scans. I also helped create photorealistic scans of the 'Zig Zag' walls at Saksaywaman using drones with thermal cameras, Agisoft Metashape, and Sketchup.

Port Chester, New York, United States

Working directly under Dr. Alexei Vranich and with several other professors from the University of Virginia, King's College in London, University of Chicago, and other top universities, I put together a to-scale theoretical model of the Muyuqmarka including its interior design, time-appropriate stonework, and adobe adornments which I then superimposed over a 3D map of the existing stones. I modeled everything in SketchUp, with my data coming from a combination of field notes and aerial photographs, some of which were given to me, and some of which I measured.

Zermatt, Valais, Switzerland

I developed lessons and trained groups of up to 6 kids aged 7-13 how to ski. I learned non-verbal communication skills through teaching children who did not speak English.

New York, New York, United States

Used Python 3 with Pandas to developed natural language processing tooling for extraction and categorization of resume information as component of larger machine learning initiative for financial technology firms. Used Python 3, ReportLab, and React to dynamically convert web pages to PDF documents. My program was accepted into a larger project that aided a number of New York hospitals to efficiently distribute disaster relief information.
