• Primary responsibilities included conducting failure analysis and providing engineering design support to clients
• Designed and carried out experiments to elucidate both product failure mechanisms and performance improvements, which typically involve rapid and resourceful construction of custom test equipment and fixtures
• Project work encompasses broad exposure to engineering challenges in commercial/consumer products, industrial machinery, and medical devices
• Analysis and modeling techniques employed span a range of topics including multibody dynamics, fracture mechanics, thermal and fluid systems, structural mechanics/fatigue, corrosion

Atlanta, GA

• Provided design support to a wide range of land, sea, and space-based projects including: conceptualization, analysis/simulation, mechanical drawings, both hands-on and oversight of part fabrication, and part.
• Analysis topics included: structural, thermal, fluidic, dynamics, and material engineering
• Projects were typically government funded with a few commercial exceptions, selected examples below o Thermal packaging solutions for high power electronic devices from the board (component/layer placement) to system.

My primary research activity focused on the functional morphology and operational limits of the remora fishes' adhesive disk. Based on this work, several bio-inspired devices emulating remora behavior were created.I worked extensively on chemical processing and high-temperature fabrication techniques for proprietary nickel micro-honeycomb structures. I.

My research focused on sustainability issues related to electronics and electronic waste with particular attention given to LCD computer monitors. The life-cycle network of LCD computer monitors including material extraction, production, consumer use, transportation, and various end-of-life options was modeled in SysML. Several end-of-life scenarios were.

Atlanta, GA

I lead development of embedded software and circuitry for distributed bike share, smart locking technology. I designed, prototyped, and tested the original circuit design.

Atlanta, GA

I designed, developed, and tested a casting apparatus for characterizing micro-structural properties of materials for a core undergraduate material science laboratory in addition to providing general design and fabrication services to other laboratory projects.

Peachtree City, GA

I assisted engineers in research, development, design, testing, and specification of ice cube makers and components. I authored ice maker capacity testing and performance specifications, and fabricated custom components for new prototypes.

Hampton, GA

I assisted engineers in the design and testing of high voltage electrical equipment, namely the 38kV CapSwitch, and various other high voltage electro-mechanical switches. I designed tooling for the manufacturing department.

Winston Salem, NC

I prepared solid models and created five-axis tool paths using a variety of software tools (Solidworks, Rhinocereos 3D, Powermill CAM, Master CAM).Fabrication services were provided for a diverse clientele including artists, the aerospace industry, the automotive industry, and whitewater kayak manufacturers.
