• Support the Internal Research and Development (IRAD) project to add nuclear resiliency to the Eagle-3 Spacecraft Bus.
• Create test plans, procedures, and design test circuits for parts on the Eagle-3 Spacecraft Bus to undergo radiation prompt dose (Flash X-Ray) testing.
• Write scripts to efficiently analyze/process the large amounts of test data and present the data to the circuit design engineers.
• Perform SGEMP and TREE analysis on the Eagle-3 Spacecraft Bus to determine how the system will perform under stressing radiation environments.

• Successfully created a recurring expense tracker that sends automated email reminders with a 7 year forecasting tool for budget control.
• Developed a new process flow for the desktop support and network engineering teams to create and install classified phones efficiently.
• Managed over $4 million in purchased equipment - drove orders, day-to-day tracking/progress of delivery, and ensured implementation.

- Utilized the CNC Lathe, CNC Mill, and a CNC waterjet to create parts to manufacture a Pipe Crawling Activity Measurement System (PCAM)- Built a prototype design that was successfully tested at the Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant in Piketon, Ohio.- Wrote a 3 phase proposal and secured $1,000,000 from the Department of Energy to accurately measure grams.

- Constructed 3D model designs, using Autodesk Inventor, of ribs to support 6 meter diameter radio telescopes. - Integrated CNC machining to cut out supporting ribs using a water jet cutter. - Operated both MIG and TIG welders to combine all the support ribs to create a full sized model of the radio telescopes ribs. - Designed a crimping tool specific for.

- Combined Python Programming and Microsoft Excel to navigate, organize, and analyze through different large data sets simultaneously.- Evaluated the ratio of observed angular size of galaxies and galaxy clusters to radial/redshift size to mimic the Alcock-Paczynski Cosmological Test for universal parameters.- Found the dependence on the evolution of the.

- Analyzed and helped improve teaching methods with a goal of reaching students in 5 low income area schools around Pittsburgh.- Trained 5 teacher assistants on basic science fundamentals that would peak students interests in STEM activities.- Implemented after school programs that developed and interested approximately 125 young minds in engaging STEM.

- Supported a team of 7 graduate students and professors to study galaxy creation and evolution using simulated data.- Organized data arrays with over 9,000,000,000 stars to show relationships between different cosmological simulations.- Utilized Python to create plots that compared simulation data with published simulations to test validity.- Presented my.

- Managed 3 projects each with a group 7 members to improve functionality of mechanical systems by adding installments such as aninfrared camera to a quadcopter.- Integrated new 3D printing plastic to save the company $7,500 of PLA filament.- Planned and used 3D sensing scanner to scan 6 local city council members and print a 3D rendered model of each.
