I support production and site operations for multiple customer programs providing cutting-edge solutions to aerospace thermal challenges. The future is hot!

Hawthorne, California, US

Designed and accelerated the processes for bringing Raptor and Starship together as a system, ranging from validating the engine’s performance, to synchronizing the digital and physical configuration varieties, facilitating development research on specially-configured test engines, to supporting engine fleet logistics across the country. The dream: make.

Hawthorne, California, US

Operated and qualified Raptor engines for flight on Starship. This included designing the engine hot fire test campaign characteristics, designing and programming the ground infrastructure and digital controls architecture, studying the engine system responses and adjusting its operational settings, and proving its performance for the unique service.

Hawthorne, California, US

Entered the Raptor program during early the prototyping and initial production phases. Served as manufacturing engineer owner for the Raptor main combustion chamber sub-assembly. Designed and built out the next-generation Raptor production line for combustion chamber sub-assemblies, yielding a 24X increase in production rate in synchronous rate surge with.

Cincinnati, OH, US

Joined GE Aviation as an engineer in the Composites Technical Track. The program's overarching objective is producing engineering leadership in composites within GE Aviation.First assignment included manufacturing ownership of various ceramic matrix composite components, including elements within the GE9X turbofan engine.Guided the implementation of these.

Sugarhouse Aerospace brings space access to everyone by dramatically lowering the entry cost to suborbital launch services.Joined Sugarhouse Aerospace at the time of it's founding as the lead manufacturing engineer. The startup environment presented massive opportunity for rapid...everything.Built-out the early supply chain of vendors for raw material and.

Provo, UT, US

Invited to join a student project to send a suborbital rocket to space. Led the manufacturing engineering, which included integrating custom composite materials and other advanced engineered materials into the high-performance launch vehicle.The attached pictures show both the composite motor casing and carbon fins (painted blue), which I built by hand.

Provo, UT, US

Supported graduate research of Liquid Composites Molding to investigate void formation in composite structures.Responsible for bringing ultrasonic phased-array system into operation to inspect samples.Included creating setup standards, generating focal laws, and providing usable scan data for analysis.Adapting this technology to inspect rocket components.

Columbus, Indiana, US

Joined Cummins, Inc. at the Rocky Mount Engine Plant, working to improve production quality by reducing or eliminating an engine paint defect. With guidance from expert engineers developed experiments, closely observed and analyzed the assembly-test processes, and interacted first-hand with line workers to understand the issues.Updated training materials.

Provo, UT, US

Constructed and serviced various experimental systems.Performed disassembly and repair of vacuum pumps, vacuum systems, and related instruments so that professors can conduct funded research.Integrated CAD usage to help professors design experimental systems and trained other employees on CAD programs.
