Full stack GNC developer with a focus on path planning for autonomous vehicle operation:-Owner of the 3DR Solo "Smart Shots" autonomous flight software stack.-Creator of the Multipoint Cable Cam shot, Follow Me (with Free Look), and other autonomous shots.-Owner of the 3DR Site Scan autonomous flight software stack, including "Survey", "Scan", and "Inspect" modes.-Developer of novel path planning and optimization-based obstacle avoidance algorithms for dynamic flight environments.-Contributor to the low level autopilot control loops, autotest simulation tools (SITL), and owner of the companion CPU vehicle state machine software.-Advisor to EKF estimator development and incremental autopilot improvements to handle edge cases.

- MS degree under Dr. Eric Frew in the Research and Engineering Center for Unmanned Vehicles.- Research focuses on energy-aware trajectory optimization for unmanned aircraft systems operating in severe atmospheric environments.- Developed a trajectory optimization layer that operates on-board an sUAS platform and develops energy-optimal flight trajectories in real-time.

- Responsible for external design and layout of large commercial satellites. - Prepared and defended design decisions related to spacecraft stowage, mechanism deployments, and placement of critical units. - Managed the complete Pro-E spacecraft model for final build and test.

- Designed, programmed, and deployed an internal “Advanced Materials Database” web application from scratch as a summer project. - Responsible for planning entire project costs, choosing appropriate technologies, and programming entire interface/backend code.

- Programmed heat transfer model (VBA/Python) for two dimensional analysis of regenerative cooling cycles in staged combustion motors. - Developed logical interface to perform initial cooling estimates based on selected motor criteria.- Implemented a utility for use in Advanced Concepts Group to determine eligibility for motor wall cooling in future motor/fuel concepts.
