-Engineered and assembled a 24V electrical cabinet for a 2 motor drive and LED DMX controller. This cabinet can be connected to 120-240 VAC power to accommodate for different country standards as it is part of a traveling show. The company ordered a second of these projects so I updated the cabinet to our new standards that developed over time.-Identified and sourced a reliable replacement for an electrical component that failed and a temporary solution was needed.

This cabinet can be connected to 120-240 VAC power to accommodate for different country standards as it is part of a traveling show. The company ordered a second of these projects so I updated the cabinet to our new standards that developed over time.-Identified and sourced a reliable replacement for an electrical component that failed and a temporary solution was needed. This part eventually became the standard for the project after testing showed it was just as reliable as the original but $750 cheaper.-Reviewed and updated multiple electrical drawings. Ensured labeling conventions were consistent across the project, moved things around to improve document readability, and redlined errors.-Developed a cable test bench using a Cirrus 4250. Designed a quick swap system using multiple terminal blocks and pre programmed multiple test programs. This allowed my department to start implementing a QC on cables we had received, catching some that arrived faulty saving time and money.-Travelled on site to install projects in their final location. Collaborated with local management there to work through and find solutions to the problems that arose. Show less

-Mechanically assembled multiple animated figures and in house fabrication projects. Was also responsible for the assembly of advanced puppets and costumes with motorized heads. -Observed, troubleshooted, and documented the motion of figures. Worked to correct issues of binding, grinding, and collision that developed during run time.-Applied proper torqueing techniques for different bolts and nuts. Applied proper Loctite to structural bolts and torque striped them.-Operated… Show more -Mechanically assembled multiple animated figures and in house fabrication projects.

I was a member of the TPED(Theme Park Engineering Design) club and joined some of their extracurricular projects. The main of which was working on a robotic trashcan mimicking Disney's PUSH. I was responsible for managing and controlling the trash can's motors and electronics, this consisted of researching and implementing optical encoders to regulate motor speed. The project is still ongoing and will be passed to students at the start of next semester.

West Lafayette, Indiana, United States

I helped teach 2 classes: ECET 224-Electronics Systems and ECET 337-Continuous Systems Analysis and Design. During this I helped teach circuit analysis using Kirchoff's laws, digital and analog conversion, and RCL circuits. I enjoyed spending time giving one-on-one instruction to students and clarifying anything they didn't understand about the labs or class material.

Palatine, Illinois, United States

At this position I supported the Dean of Student Affairs. I was responsible for many different administrative tasks such as taking calls, managing schedules, and paperwork transfers. I helped many students problem solve issues with other students, professors, or faculty. I also helped students locate where they should go if I was unable to solve their problem with my office's resources.

Bachelor'S Degree, Mechatronics, Robotics, And Automation Engineering
