Helping a team of 100+ individuals, from 9 different countries, to radically democratize ventilators.

Point Richmond, Ca, Us

Responsible for the development of mechanical hardware for the Super Falcon 3S and all new Dragon submarine. Responsibilities include ideation, prototyping, designing, iterative/FEA/empirical testing and managing manufacturing relationships.Primary responsibilities are composite fuselage styling, mechanical design for propulsion, batteries, and life support systems. Developed composite pressure hull to withstand 6:1 (600 meter) pressure test. Process included iterating on design based on FEA results. Other responsibilities include overall fit up and assembly of entire submarine and engineering drawings.

Responsible for developing mobile RF/EMI chambers to test payloads prior to launch. Using Solidworks, I designed/engineered a mobile RF/EMI chamber within a 20 foot shipping container, a loading/unloading system for payloads, as well as mobile command center in a separate 20 foot container.Balloon-Powered Internet for EveryoneMore than half of the world's population is still without Internet access. Project Loon is a network of balloons traveling on the edge of space, designed to extend Internet connectivity to people in rural and remote areas worldwide.

Point Richmond, Ca, Us

Responsible for the whole product life cycle, including ideation, prototyping, designing, iterative/FEA/empirical testing and setting up manufacturing of the DeepFlight Dragon and Super Falcon 3S. Primary responsibilities are fuselage styling and mechanical design for propulsion, batteries, pressure hull and life support systems. Other responsibilities include overall fit up and assembly of entire submarine.* Generated surface models of fuselage using Autodesk Inventor and Autodesk Alias to create class A surface molds. * Designed prototype thruster and optimized design based on multiple bollard pull tests. Applied result to final production thruster to achieve a 15% increase in efficiency.* Developed thruster kort nozzle which reduced thruster assembly time and allowed for easy bench testing.* Optimized overall design of submarines to reduce assembly time from 3 months to 1 month. Major submarine assembly can be fully disassembled in 2 days by 1 person.* Created mechanical CAD drawings and communicated the functional requirements using GD&T.

San Leandro, Ca, Us

The Bigge AFRD is the world's largest land-based super-crane that will revolutionize nuclear power plant construction throughout the world. The AFRD consists of over 200,000 parts which were designed using Autodesk Inventor parametric modeling software.Working closely with engineers and designers, we created the world’s largest land-based crane capable of lifting 15 million pounds. I managed a team of 6 designers in-house and 4 outside design consultants to complete the project on time.
