In this role, I excel as a strategic leader, overseeing the materials science and engineering division. ➥Oversees cross-functional and cross-disciplinary teams, comprising chemists, engineers, and proposal specialists, to advance polymer and composites materials research and development, with a focus on applied materials engineering.➥Supervises seventeen research and development contracts valued at $17M, scrutinizes the contracts and statements of work to create comprehensive work summary structures, and guides the team to fulfill all contract requirements.➥Creates compelling proposals, leads proposal activities, including customer site visits, and ensures timely fulfillment of all customer requirements and document preparation.

During my tenure, I earned multiple significant promotions, taking on progressive responsibilities and increasing influence. Furthermore, I led the composite research and development organization, providing crucial support for composites research and technology conversions.➥As the primary lead, I oversaw project work spanning multiple products and materials, proactively identified and addressed risks, and effectively communicated risk information to enhance efficiency, effectiveness, and operational excellence.➥As the principal investigator, I managed engineers and chemists across various programs, engaged with customers, and guided the process development from ideation to implementation.➥Conducted extensive thermal, dynamic, and static structural analyses and computations related to composite structures.

As a Head Brewer, I have successfully led and mentored brewing teams, fostering an environment of innovation and continuous improvement. My expertise spans every aspect of the brewing process, from recipe development and ingredient sourcing to brewing, fermentation, and packaging. I took great pride in maintaining the highest quality standards in every batch, ensuring each beer represents the pinnacle of brewing excellence.

As a selected CEM member, I followed up on off-road mobility research from my undergraduate studies. My contributions included designing an active suspension actuator for vehicles, redesigning the piston, piston seals, and bump-stops. Additionally, I created various components such as the mounting assembly, bellow assembly for foreign object protection, universal joint, vibration isolation system, and bracket for a test structure to prevent tire deformation.I conducted fatigue testing on an actuator design and explored the use of a linkage system to replace leaf springs on the vehicle. Moreover, I managed parts procurement and inventory control for actuators being built for a test vehicle.In another project, I was involved in designing a high energy density compulsator power supply for an electromagnetic gun. I crafted the cooling system for the stator and devised a test structure to research the cooling assembly using SolidWorks. For this project, I performed stress analysis on electric connectors and endplates using Finite Element Analysis.Furthermore, I conducted extensive research on honeycomb and structural foam inserts to reduce weight on the stator tube. Lastly, I designed a test setup to replicate repulsion loads on conductors in the active portion of the armature using Cosmos Electromagnetic Spectrum (EMS) software.

Used Pro-E to design primary structure parts for the modification of a Boeing 747-SP jet for NASA's Stratospheric Observatory For Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA). Created five generic stringer clips to replace existing parts on the modified airplane and generated all the necessary drawings for removing the existing structure to be modified on the airplane.

Utilized AutoCAD to create the layout of a sausage factory under construction. Drew machine dimensions and floor plans to optimize the placement of purchased machines. Numbered machines for FDA inspections.
