Working as a stress analyst on the Space Shuttle Solid Rocket Boosters. I've been the lead stress analyst supporting SRB component design and refurbishment engineering, and design of major structures and components for ARES I-X. The best project has been the SRB crossover frangible nut design, which has allowed me to put some really cool aspects of engineering to work - experimental stress analysis, pyrotechnics, high energy impact modelling, and, best of all, the Space Shuttle!
