I worked to advance the technology readiness level of ultrasonics and vibration-based solutions for environmental control and life support systems aboard the International Space Station, Gateway, Human Landing System, and future Martian vehicles. I designed and executed experiments to analyze the performance of ultrasonic washing and drying systems and.

I founded Tennessee Lunabotics in 2021 to participate in NASA's Lunabotics robotic mining and construction competition. I designed, manufactured, tested, and operated our robot system components throughout their entire life cycle. As President, I served as lead systems engineer for the team, organizing our members and ensuring that projects are completed.

I developed and submitted a proposal in response to a NASA solicitation, adapting formula racing and off-road vehicle technologies to enable low-barrier-to-infusion improvements to existing NASA surface exploration platforms. I was also recognized as a primary innovator on a NASA New Technology Report for my contributions to the proposal, which placed.

Huntsville, Alabama

I developed software tools to aid in mission planning and test analysis for the Army’s suite of Uncrewed Aircraft System (UAS) platforms, including the MQ-9 Reaper, RQ-7 Shadow, and the upcoming Future Tactical Unmanned Aircraft System (FTUAS).

Albuquerque, New Mexico, United States

I designed, built, and programmed a high-resolution data acquisition system from the ground up for use in AFRL Space Vehicles Directorate satellite test facilities. I also assembled hardware for a passive gravity offload system for deployable structure testing.

I developed a preliminary mission architecture for a Discovery-class NASA rover mission to explore the Lunar South Pole for volatiles and in-situ resource utilization (ISRU) opportunities. I conducted a Preliminary Design Review for the project and managed downselection of an Alpha Particle X-Ray Spectrometer (APXS) payload.

Fayetteville, WV

I worked with a small team to manage all aspects of the shop, including customer transactions, store upkeep, product receiving, and answering questions about the New River Gorge National Park and Preserve.
