Through collaboration with program leaders, technology developers, and executives, I aim to reduce the cost of development of capabilities by building technology strategies that facilitate progress that is beneficial for multiple applications. I have worked with teams to write multiple >$3M proposals to accelerate the development of key technologies required to achieve aerospace autonomy leadership which I proved were insufficiently addressed through existing and planned projects by performing a complete analysis of project plans and aligning these to a survey of current and future program needs. Additionally, I am responsible for running a quarterly "Enterprise Autonomy Summit" which brings together executives, subject matter experts, and key stakeholders in the autonomy space together to collaborate on how best to address autonomy strategy.

Leadership Next is a two-year development program geared towards current and future leaders at Boeing - offering opportunities for mentorship, training, and high-impact projects.

In this role, I was responsible for integrating mission systems hardware onto a prototype autonomous platform. Acting as the mission systems Responsible Engineer, I represented the program team and approves changes to vehicle configuration in tandem with other team representatives. I engaged directly with military customers, suppliers, executive stakeholders, and other program team members. Additionally, I fulfilled the team project manager role, keeping track of earned value management… Show more In this role, I was responsible for integrating mission systems hardware onto a prototype autonomous platform.

I was asked to assume this temporary emergency assignment to assist the Ramjet 155 team through the contract down-select phase. The team was successful in achieving a $30M contract with the U.S. government for further development. I was responsible for scheduling, tracking, and managing progress of the avionics team while also synchronizing work flow, requirements, and risks/opportunities with other program teams. Simultaneously, I managed the physical and software interfaces between sensors… Show more I was asked to assume this temporary emergency assignment to assist the Ramjet 155 team through the contract down-select phase.

I also worked as a Ground Control Station Operator, controlling the aircraft during flight tests and monitoring vehicle performance to ensure safe operation.On the Honeycomb platform, I worked as an Avionics Engineer in the infancy of the platform. I collaborated closely with employees at Aurora (a Boeing subsidiary) on trade studies, hardware design and selection, and system integration. Show less

ECFP grants participants the ability to rotate through four different jobs over the course of two years that cover different business units and lifecycle stages.My fourth and final rotation was in Long Beach, CA where I worked on the Boeing Commercial Avionics and Service Engineering teams. There, I was responsible for managing and writing requirements for the 737 MAX audio management system, writing certification plans for an aircraft alert system on in-service, out-of-production… Show more ECFP grants participants the ability to rotate through four different jobs over the course of two years that cover different business units and lifecycle stages.My fourth and final rotation was in Long Beach, CA where I worked on the Boeing Commercial Avionics and Service Engineering teams. There, I was responsible for managing and writing requirements for the 737 MAX audio management system, writing certification plans for an aircraft alert system on in-service, out-of-production aircraft, and directly interfacing with customers to support inquiries into the 737 MAX flight controls system.My third rotation was in HorizonX/NeXt, a subteam of Boeing Research & Technology that focuses on the high-speed implementation of a prototype autonomous platform. There, I designed a mobile hardware integration lab (HIL) that can be used to model all of the avionics (air vehicle hardware) on the vehicle as a standalone system or while tied into the vehicle itself.My second rotation was in F-15 Electronic Warfare, where I worked on the EPAWSS system, the latest electronic warfare platform for the US Air Force. There, I programmed an automated tracking program using VBA in order to track the progress of tasks required to approve, test, and implement hardware designs.My first rotation was in F/A-18 Guidance, Navigation, & Controls where he worked on an augmented aircraft carrier landing platform. I developed and updated control laws in order to meet customer demands and fix undesirable vehicle behavior. Show less

Led two labs of 20 students each, teaching the fundamentals of electrical engineering, solar technology, wireless communication, and Arduino programming.

Developed dynamic model of electromechanical flight control actuators for use in real-time system integration testing.Designed flight control software changes and collected and analyzed data in a lab environment to validate those changes.Supported the design of a new hardware-in-loop (HIL) flight control system integration lab.Led a group of interns in the design and construction of a quadcopter outside of work.

Redesigned quality check test fixtures to allow for easier serviceability and uninterrupted testing. Researched, tested, and implemented replacement of end-of-life components on router video processing cards. Updated and added to database of OrCAD components to create a uniform standard for how components were categorized.
