Boston, Massachusetts, United States

• Leading and mentoring a team of new members in the design, construction, and static fire testing of an Ablative GOX-Kero Liquid Rocket engine. Provided guidance in CAD, FEA, propulsion principles, and machining, while fostering a positive learning environment and enhancing team camaraderie through weekly meetings.• Designed a printed circuit board (PCB) on KICAD to actuate valves on the test stand and measure thrust and chamber temperature during hot-fire testing.• Leading the design and 3D printing of a bi-propellant swirl injector using SolidWorks and utilized a MATLAB script to optimize mass flow and efficiency.

Andover, Massachusetts, United States

• Developed a precision installation process using a custom durastone fixture for connector alignment and temperature sensitive component protection, along with a solder volume stencil. Achieved a significant reduction in misalignment defects and rework time for 100 cards for an initial design of a New Product Introduction (NPI) program. • Developed thermal profiles for circuit card rework by applying thermodynamic principles and operator input to drive down rework time for over 15 different programs. • Utilized Class 3 J-Standard protocols to rework and inspect circuit cards, replacing critical components and X-Raying cards for defects. • Improved UI on hot-air rework system to consolidate programs and simplify the search of thermal profiles during day-to-day rework operations. • Produced and filmed video content for continuous improvement projects to engage our operators and better connect leadership to the factory floor.

Boston, Massachusetts, United States

• Designed coaxial swirl injector learning 3D sketching in SolidWorks for our regenerative liquid rocket engine• Learned FEA and ran simulations on injector designs to determine inlet area and number of tangential orifices.• Assembled full engine stack-up collaborating with nozzle and chamber teams and prepared the test stand by torquing fittings, calibrating pressure transducers, and learning the propellant feed system and hot-fire test procedure.

Taunton, Massachusetts, United States

• Conducted traffic counts at local intersections, providing essential data to MassDOT for planning traffic signals, lane creation, and calculating crash rates. • Installed traffic counting tubes and devices on local roads to log speed, vehicle class, and axle count data contributing to more informed traffic management decisions. • Navigated and mapped local trails using ArcGIS, to provide a unified map resource for the public.

Taunton, Massachusetts, United States

• Exhibited composure and efficiency during high-traffic hours by managing the register effectively and juggling both in-person customers and online orders. • Demonstrated outstanding customer service by respectfully addressing customer complaints and consistently seeking mutually satisfactory resolutions.

Raynham, Massachusetts, United States

• Designed product specific tests to quantify time savings for tibial fixation during ACL reconstruction surgery comparing our solutions to those of the competitor.• Delivered insightful analyses to marketing team, identifying potential financial advantages associated with improving the product. • Measured medical device parts using calipers to determine manufacturing errors and uncertainties that saved valuable time for the R&D team.
