Tested and analyzed multivariable stiffness structures

I am co-leading the largest project-based club at Stanford (300+ members), managing a six-figure budget, and working to provide hands-on space education to as many interested students as possible.

Designing, building, and testing custom composite structures for a hypersonic rocket for Stanford's attempt to reach the 100km Von Karman line

I am leading the biggest team within Stanford's largest engineering club. As rockets co-lead, I have overseen everything from a high altitude liquid propulsion project to a balloon/rocket hybrid, managed a five-figure budget, and adapted the rockets team to remain successful in a virtual environment

Working as a project lead for a team of 20 people trying to build the Stanford Student Space Initiative's first ever staged rocket.

Oversaw and coordinated policy team projects such as:-weekly space news podcast, This Week in Space (listeners in 25 different countries)-bi-weekly op-eds for the Stanford Daily-research projects (I was part of a team that presented our research to the UN in Vienna, Austria)-attending conferences (IAC, Space Symposium, etc.)

Working to promote diversity and inclusivity within the Stanford Student Space Initiative

Designing and creating custom composite airframes and fins for the competition rocket at the Spaceport America Cup

I was a leading contributor to the design, assembly, test, and integration of the Tanker-001 Tenzing satellite, the world's first in-space propellant depot. Some examples of work I did in my nine months at Orbit Fab include:- hydrogen peroxide material compatibility research and testing- designing and operating a fluid test set-up for custom valves- updating plumbing system CAD- managing an entire qualification and acceptance testing campaign- helping integrate a small satellite onto a launch vehicle

Worked to created meaningful partnerships between Space For Humanity and other like-minded organizations

Designed an engaging and accessible 3D printer and 3D printing class curriculum for kids

I helped design and prototype a tensile roof structure and a green roof for the Chavín de Huántar archeological site in Peru. I also consulted on other various structural engineering problems at the site.

Summer 2018- Worked with JavaScript and HTML to create web pages and an interactive event calendar for the close-out of the Cassini mission- Used MATLAB to create animations of Cassini's explorationsSummer 2017- Completed software testing for a mission planning program- Utilized Robot Framework to automate software tests
