Calculate reliability metrics for flight avionics on Naval Helicopters. Ensure components meet relevant reliability codes and standards as well as the service requirements of the customer.

Performed computational simulations using ANSYS Fluent to determine flow capacities and pressure drops across flow line restrictions. Assisted in the development of methodologies and best practices for new types of simulations.

Marshalltown, Ia

As a part of a cross-functional team involving mechanical design, computer simulation analysis and lab testing, I designed, evaluated and developed new products for the control valve market. In this role, I performed engineering calculations on valve components with considerations to safety factors and relevant codes and standards. Once a design and product were been completed, I was responsible for creating the documentation necessary to bring the product to market.

Rolla, Mo

Assisted a professor in developing a new type of welding technology, Friction Stir Welding, for the purpose of welding metals which would otherwise be difficult to weld using standard techniques.

Greater St. Louis Area

In this role I helped in the development of a new light absorption spectrometer prototype. My primary responsibilities were to model the components for the housing was well as programming the Arduino microcontroller which ran the instrument.

Greater St. Louis Area

I designed and implemented an experiment procedure to determine another source of fullerene carbon nanostructures. Material samples from the experiment were collected and analyzed with a MALDI-TOF Mass spectrometer and scanning electron microscope. Experiment results were written in a report and submitted for publication.

St. Charles, Mo

I drafted structural support models using Autodesk Inventor as well as converted computer models to manufacturing blueprints.
