Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States

• Faced with unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic, engineered, and prototyped 4 robust products using digital fabrication to assist university and surrounding community with the prevention of COVID-19 spread. • Led 4 other students to develop a robust workflow using SLA 3D Printing and computational simulation for rapid design and manufacture of custom-fit N-95 masks for healthcare personnel at UPMC. • Employed principles of user-centered design to develop a contact tracing module for Pitt classrooms and research laboratories• Results of projects published in Pitt Research Ingenium "Innovations for Reimagined Educational Experiences in the Face of a Pandemic"

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States

• Worked collaboratively with a team of engineering students to revitalize the process for creating craniofacial prosthesis through an in-depth investigation into 3D scanning and 3D printing. • Diligently carried out testing of 7 high performance 3D scanners and evaluated each on a variety of criteria to recommend the optimal scanning solution. • Worked closely with the UPMC (University of Pittsburgh Medical Center) Additive Manufacturing Lab and UMPC’s Anaplastology department to create a workflow with maximum efficiency.

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States

• Leveraged fabrication experience to program and operate CNC mills to manufacture 90+ components for robotics and aerospace companies, enforcing strict +/- .005 tolerances and whilst ensuring 0 workplace safety incidents.• Applied CAD skills to create and interpret 2D shop drawings and 3D models and used Fusion 360 CAM software to program Haas 3-axis CNC milling machines.• Pinpointed key areas of improvement in existing shop air compression system. Personally designed, tested, and prototyped an electro-mechanical system which successfully decreased the load on the system by 50%. • Took initiative to boost shop efficiency by personally designing and fabricating reliable tools and maintaining vital manufacturing equipment.

Greater Pittsburgh Area

• Engaged in collaborative efforts with fellow team members to design, fabricate and assemble a high-powered rocket to compete in the NASA Student Launch competition in August 2019. • Supervised and directed the design of rocket ‘airbrake’ system to slow the launch vehicle as it approached the target apogee.

Warrington, Pennsylvania, United States

• Entrusted with key logistical and organizational decisions for the company’s major summer construction project; applied project management skills to ensure seamless project operations. • Effectively communicated with estimators, engineers, and construction personnel to facilitate maximum operational transparency and guarantee timely project completion.• Maintained adherence to project timeline and milestones through effective management of vital project documents – drawings, material submittals, change order logs, etc.
