- Redesigned water dispensing system to reduce costs and complexity of dispenser by replacing the current 3 flow control modules with 1 single flow control component integrated into current nozzle design. Designed custom parts and conducted remote testing inside of a dispenser to verify reliability and repeatability of improved new system- Evaluated new ceramic pump for drink dispensing system by conducting testing on internal piston travel with the overall goal of reducing costs and increasing pump volumetric output. Created and machined custom components, wrote data collection program, analyzed results, and presented findings to upper management for consideration- Worked to integrate touch-less/gesture control into Freestyle dispensers by evaluating different technologies (sensors, cameras, haptics, etc.) through hardware and software compatibility testing - Created pump-reservoir system to reduce dispenser sold-out events and improve customer experience by designing, building, and programming control sequences for a testing system

- Oversaw local team of 6 to market international work/volunteer opportunities to young adults in the Greater Atlanta area- Organized a yearly calendar of physical and digital marketing campaigns, including tabling, info sessions, and mass emails- Created original marketing materials (flyers, stickers, displays, and booklets) to advertise international exchange opportunities

Atlanta, Georgia, Us

- Worked directly under Senior Project Manager on current GTRI construction projects, primarily government funded labs, located on the Atlanta Georgia Tech campus and 2 additional locations in the state- Created, interpreted, and modified mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and structural drawings using AutoCAD to document construction progress, resulting in increased project lifecycle traceability- Acted as liaison between on-site employees and management, providing progress reports and updates at weekly check-ins with the heads of each department involved

Fuel Cell Research - Conducted research on the improvement of hydrogen fuel cells by developing a better material for the inner membrane to increase fuel cell efficiency and output- Modeled molecular structures and analyzed fuel cell performance through simulations in Cerius2, Maestro, and Lamps software

- Oversaw day to day operations: printing/mounting, sales, customer service, monitoring classes/workshop, and individual student projects- Conducted bi-weekly inventory of over 100 ceramics

Kennesaw, Georgia, Us

Worked under Dr. R L Kulasiri on Belle Collaboration particle physics research investigating the decay of B-mesons. Specifically looking for occurrences of CP violation through the back-tracking of decay products. Ran simulations of possible decay patterns using data collected from the KEKB particle accelerator.
