College Station, Texas, United States

• Contributed to Mg alloy-based bioresorbable implant project funded by a Fortune 50 medical devices company.
• Researched and developed testing protocols and fixtures to determine mechanical properties of a small diameter biodegradable material as an ongoing process to formulate new material.

College Station, Texas, United States

• Developed and created validation plan for an in-house water filtration system for servicing to meet the internal protocol and FDA regulations. Supported manufacturers in production, inspection, and quality control to.
• Identified design and material changes which reduced manufacture cycle time by 80% and lowered component’s surface temperature by 30%—making it is safe to touch according to ASTM C1055 standards.
• Replaced design and material for common component issue that routinely broke down and needed servicing. Analysis of new design showed longevity and performance boost of 4X, now lasting full product lifecycle.
• Transferred 6 3D designs into 2D drawings for machining and injection molding. This enabled more accurate cost estimates, greater understanding of which parts are critical for inspection, and improved quality.
