Led the development and design of 3 retraction mechanisms and the guided separation system for the Mars Sample Return entry and descent separations system. Design work included creating the initial NX design, preliminary stress analysis, GD&T, drawing creation, creating requirements, and leading formal design reviews.Collaborated with multi disciplinary.

Created a FEM application to evaluate multiple designs of Cybertruck’s front recovery hook geometry based on various loading conditions.Developed a weld characterization program for fatigue life studies. Collaborated with subject matter experts to define key testing parameters.

Developed multiple passive latching mechanisms for a containment vessel on the Mars Sample Return mission.Created a sizing tool in MATLAB that allows for multiple designs and sensitivity studies to be performed for a particular design space.Conducted a trade study on multiple mechanisms to evaluate their ability to meet project requirements. Designed and.

Received a Record of Invention, which is in the process of being patented for modifyingdesign and creating a prototype for a new device.Created an application to measure crash loads based on varying steering columndimensions. Modeled new design innovations to improve existing products. Fine-tunedcurrent designs and lead testing to evaluate their.

I work with students to create lesson plans based on their needs in the course. By tutoring multiple students in a session I have picked up good communication skills. By tutoring calculus I have improved my ability to think on my feet when answer questions or solving new problems.

Lead a safety project to create and hang valve tags for all the manual valves on the power plant. This ensures safety when working with valves. In order to do this, I had to create an efficient process to create, verify and hang the tags. With this I created over 2,000 tags and worked with outside operators to hang and verify them. I worked to red line and.

I worked with a classroom of 20 young children everyday, and constructed new lesson plans for the week to carry out. Working with young children taught me patience and organization, because they need constant attention to stay happy and well behaved. This also taught accountability since my coworkers relied on me to do my part so the day would run smoothly.

Interacted with customers to fulfill their needs in an appropriate time frame. On busy days I learned how to communicate with waitstaff and busboys to help seat customers in an efficient way to guarantee customer satisfaction.
