• Tested AUV, in submerged state, to tune the PID control system based on odometry data to improve acceleration, velocity, and positioning relative to programmed commands and disturbances • Presented design options to Mechanical Design Team Leaders, recommended modifying the electronic box into reverse heat sink to prevent thermal throttling at temperatures exceeding 90°C • Developed a diver initiated emergency stop using a hall effect sensor and a magnet mounting system for the AUV

• Advised 4 design leads from FRC and FTC teams, provided technical design support, led CAD/CAM technical reviews for 5 competition robots• Developed Autodesk Inventor training materials, hosted technical design forums for 40 students to develop CAD competency to support student ability to design of complex systems

• Produced prototypes, CAM, designed custom fixtures, created part and assembly drawings using Autodesk Inventor, and ensured quality of CAD models via structural simulations, for build/fabrication of competition robots• Developed Parts/Inventory Library of 1,000+ commercial hardware items, standardized inventory tracking, order fulfillment, and financial management in Google Sheets for $8,000 build budget• Presented weekly CAD updates to the Design Review Board explaining design subsystem functionality and to ensure competition design specifications were met, before approving resource allocation (time, personnel, money)
