• Exercised strict safety measures through the use of PPE and risk management during daily work.
• Prepared Pre/post-activity checklist (PPAC) documentation on a daily basis to coordinate installation tasks and an action plan towards execution and additionally reflect/review results.

Arlington, VA, US

• Conducted R&D for the Naval Postgraduate School (Naval Research Enterprise Internship Program/NREIP) to plan the requirements for future implementation of a microgrid in a proposed SLAMR robotics facility. R&D included.
• Research and development behind various legal challenges, fiscal management, value proposition.
• Organized discussions with the Department of Navy advisor on the nature of the previously existing environment (water treatment facility).
• Proposed power demands relative to SLAMR facility needs as well as a conceptual microgrid layout.

Milwaukee, WI, US

• The National Fluid Powered Association (NFPA) presented Arizona State with a competition amongst multiple universities to develop and create a human-powered fluid vehicle using hydraulic technology (Fluid Power Vehicle.
• Conducted fiscal management, regen-brake, hydraulic system, and test plan design/development.
• Managed direct line of communication and relationship with industry sponsors/program board and the rest of the team as a liaison.
• Developed the hydraulic system implemented for fabrication of the hydraulic manifold of the vehicle.
• Circumnavigated logistical problems due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic in the final semester of the project.
• Achieved Rookie of the Year Award in the team’s first year of competition.

Tempe, AZ, US

• Supervised coworkers in establishing a safe environment and oversaw the establishment of outstanding customer service.
• Inspected and documented the condition of various facility mechanisms through an audit.
• Updated system logs with daily facility maintenance needs and monitored facility controls software.
• Coordinated with vendors/other campus departments to ensure service request completion for ongoing events/repair needs.

• Performed research and development revolved around the development of Polymer Electrolyte Membrane (PEM) fuel cells, more specifically in their gas diffusion layers (GDL) and electrocatalysts contained within them..
• Researched concepts of PEM technology, as well as their electromechanical structure.
• Executed mechanical assembly, disassembly, and connection of a PEM fuel cell stack.
• Conducted research analysis consisting of developing low/non-platinum catalyst design for PEM fuel cells.
• Development yielded a 4-layer GDL and carbon-based electrocatalyst which exhibited power density values to justify future research.
