As a member of the NASA Engineering and Safety Center Executive Leadership team, I provide technical leadership to high performing distributed technical teams. My achievements include:An alternate design to the Orion Heat Shield Carrier Structure that reduced overall system mass by 1500 pounds. In developing the design, thermal stresses were reduced in the thermal protection system by 25%.An independent study of the electronic throttle control in Toyota vehicles to identify vulnerabilities that could lead to unintended acceleration. A full scale composite crew module primary structure test article for the Orion Program.
