Working with an international, cross-functional team on creating analytics to perform health monitoring for thousands of wind turbine systems across the globe to save the corporation millions of dollars on repairs.• Used GitHub to assign and track important issues while taking advantage of Git in order to maintain consistent workflow• Took advantage of Pandas, NumPy, SciPy, Plotly, and other Python libraries to create high quality data visualizations• Implemented processes to automate and monitor the execution of Python scripts via the UNIX terminal• Utilized AI/ML models to determine the optimal signals to analyze in order to monitor turbine health• Coordinated with Data Engineers to ensure maximum benefit from Spark, MongoDB and AWS cloud technologies

Created quality metrics for the Lockheed Martin Aeronautics division in order to assess risks, prioritize decision making, and ensure quality standards for all Lockheed Aero products.• Completed training to learn data science and machine learning fundamentals with a focus on using Python• Assisted teammates in debugging Python code for a Natural Language Processing (NLP) project• Converted quality metrics reports with Business Intelligence tools such as Tableau to better automate reporting• Partnered with stakeholders to help identify ways in order to save both time and money on various projects• Combined data from multiple databases using SQL in order to create metrics for Quality leadership

Member of a small, dedicated group responsible for managing test proposals, test plans, and overseeing flight testing for unmanned air vehicles.• Gathered and presented flight and ground test critical information to assist in the delivery of 4 aircraft to the customer• Developed algorithms using LabVIEW and VBA resulting in faster analyses saving over 2,000 man-hours per year• Took advantage of MS Access database to create an automated email system to email appropriate personnel per test• Programming and debugging planning tools in Excel and MATLAB in order to gain efficiency in flight test planning• Created 3 measurement plans for technicians to perform which saved timed and generated more accurate data

Applied fiber optic strain gauges to an unmanned air vehicle. Vehicle had a segmented trailing edge which allowed for the redistribution of lift. Could be used to optimize lift or save structure by reducing bending moments.• Led a team of 6 interns to create the first known UAV that could automatically adjust wing-load in real-time flight• Designed feedback loop programs in LabVIEW to automatically drive distributed servos allowing wing-load adjustment• Developed method of visualizing digital doubles to view physical 1-to-1 movement in real-time virtually• Created 6 programs in LabVIEW with custom displays to better convey real-time information to the end user• Built a program that could automatically detect the height of fluid in a cylinder based on coefficient of thermal expansion
