Improved production processes by analyzing and improving difficult operations by testing and creating new tools or developing a new process. This was also completed by working with operators on the production floor, production managers, and other engineers.Developed and designed future products by collaborating with engineers and technicians from a variety of departments to solve problems and meet requirements set by clinical and mechanical design feedback.Designed and executed Engineering Test Plans for validation and verification of new tools for manufacturing.

Worked with Dr. Guess on many different projects using the VICON T-Series and Bonita, the DARI and Organic Motion camera systems, as well as the Xbox Kinect to capture and analyze human motion data.• Development of a custom device for use with the VICON T-Series camera system in order to create points within 3D space for various applications such as location of physical objects or body parts of subject that are difficult to track such as the patella.• Processing, analyzing, and presenting data captured from hundreds of trials and dozens of subjects.

Columbia, Missouri Area

Working as a member of a team led by Professor El-Gizawy that develops theories and designs for biomedical projects. The team reviews and selects promising ideas for further implementation.• Developed an improved surgical equipment concept that was selected by team for implementation. • Implemented surgical equipment concept design by self learning SolidWorks CAD in 10 weeks.• Completed team reviews and project selections on schedule.

St. Louis, Mo

Worked on a team comprised of Post Doctorates and PhD students under Dr. Parag Parikh analyzing lung tumor localization performance for Siemens Medical sponsored project.• Completed programming that transfers data collected from Calypso 4D Localization System.• Developed and implemented programming that identifies anomalies in raw data and verifies data quality• Completed programs and algorithms with graphical user interface to analyze and visualize localization performance.
