I am currently working on Avionics PCBA design and verification for Starship. I have designed, analyzed, and done benchtop design verification for multiple DC/DC power converters ranging from 1W to 1500W. I've also worked on Battery Management Systems and power distribution, in addition to general analog circuit design. Lastly, I've done impedance.

I was primarily involved in Avionics System design, analysis, and operations for Fairing recovery. I also worked on system level avionics design; test vehicle avionics design, integration, and test; test rack hardware and software development; PCBA design; Avionics electrical ground support equipment for stage level and payload checkouts; and harness design.

For my honors thesis I designed and tested a device that resembles an RFID tag to be used for a wireless neural interface. The system aims to produce a method of linking data to and from neurons at a higher rate and with more accurate information than before using an array of Integrated Circuits (IC). For my work, I developed a large-scale version of the.

I oversaw all technical decision on the satellite, was responsible for the coordination and compatibility between all of the subgroups, and developed the systems that exist beyond the realm of the other subgroups (eg. umbilical connection, remove before flight pin, deployment switches, inhibit design, antenna deployment mechanism, etc.). I helped weigh.

My main projects:- Designed and prototyped a PCB and its supporting equipment that will more efficiently verify the functionality of avionics vehicle checkout racks.- Designed harnesses for Ground Support Equipment- Determined specifications and tested system for adding heaters to a component on the vehicle.

Attended the 2015 Space Development: Theory and Practice conference in Moscow Russia.Member in a team design project to design a space mission to study the Bow Shock Region (250AU) in 25 years or less. I designed and calculated the trajectory of the spacecraft as a member of the ballistics team. Wrote Matlab scripts to determine the optimal orbital.
