• Supported cattle and farm operations.• Operated farm equipment and provided care to cattle in the form of medicine and vaccinations. • Assisted with warehouse and logistics operations for orders.

• Teaching assistant for senior design course in mechanical engineering.• Prepared curriculum and learning assessments.• Provided in depth engineering case studies for further learning opportunities.

• Visiting Researcher to the Institute for Combustion and Gas Dynamics• Reconstructed an experimental gas turbine burner system.• Collaborated with Texas A&M and German scientists in order to futher combustion research.

• Reconstructed a high-pressure burner facility to simulate gas turbine operating conditions for optical diagnostics.• Designed a pneumatic control loop using LabVIEW to regulate flow rates, and pressure inside the burner.• Researched the feasibility of hydroxyl radical planar induced laser fluorescence experiments with nanosecond and femtosecond lasers for high pressure combustion environments.

• Intern in the Combustion & Reacting Transport Section of the Chemistry Division.• Specialization in small-and large-scale fire testing as well as experimental design of combustion experiments requiring the use of data acquisition systems, coding, and general mechanical engineering design.• Start date is currently TBD due to the coronavirus pandemic.

• Involved in pitching sales contracts to customers including Memorial Herman Hospital and Pasadena ISD.• Sent for three weeks to solve technical software problems on the University of Houston Clearlake Campus.• Shadowed a project manager and contributed to addressing concerns over the Memorial Herman Hospital job.• Interacted directly with clients and addressed specific needs and concerns related to the HVAC industry.

• Established the Baja SAE program at Texas A&M, and led it to a successful first year.• Aided in the powertrain calculations and the design of a custom transmission as well as conception of a custom gearbox mounting system. • Raised a majority of the support for the group as well as managing the deadlines and personnel for the program.• Spearheaded the effort to promote the project and helped to establish an excellent repertoire with companies such as General Motors, Fox, and TEAM engineering. • Team finished 33rd overall at competition in its first year and placed highly in both dynamic and static events.

Designed a jet flame burner for use in the laser diagnostics lab. Studied the problem of turbulent flow and started preliminary design on a dual swirl burner. This burner would allow the lab to effectively study combustion in airplane engines using laser spectroscopy.

• Maintained a barn of animals and assisted campers with horseback rides.• Was a general handyman and completed many projects such as repairing water line systems and vehicles.
