PROFESSIONAL HISTORY

Manufacturing Engineer I – Inovio Pharmaceuticals Jan 2019 – Jul 2019

Recruited to perform multi-functional engineering duties while identifying and implementing process improvements to create the most efficient, safe, cost effective, and quality modifications to aid production needs.

Earned acclaim through early development of in-house shelf life testing projected to save >$8k per testing.

Improved WI's and qualification documentation for products. Troubleshot tooling/testing fixtures (GR&R, DOE).

Designed CAD models/drawings in SolidWorks.

Detected, evaluated, and mitigated foreign object debris.

Praised for improved operations and investigations in manufacturing issues (compliance, MRB, NCMR, CAPA).

Forensic Biomechanical Engineer – Vanderpol & Assoc. Feb 2018 – Jan 2019

Forensic biomechanics subject-matter-expert and performed all investigative duties in accident reconstruction, injury, including research, legal consultations, and on-site investigation across the U.S. and internationally.

Instituted various internal process improvements and recognized for >90% of cases proven correct or incorrect.

Delivered comprehensive reports and aggressively ensured all project milestones and budgets were honored.

Senior Design Biomechanical Team Lead – SDSU ENG Jan 2017 – Dec 2017

Manufactured a first-in-the-market auto-inflating wetsuit capable of monitoring biomedical and environmental distress. Including producing action plans/project milestones and completing ad-hoc duties as needed.

Designed and implemented the matrices to gather heartbeat and muscle activity biofeedback.

Innovated the manufacturing of novel waterproof electrode casings.

Outlined strategies for commercial expansion and the face of the product for numerous investment opportunities.

R&D Biomechanical Engineer (Intern) – SDSU / MHIRT / KMU, Taiwan May 2017 – Oct 2017

Designed and built from scratch a lower-limb leg press device to provide older adults with power training.

Device won 4th in a SolidWorks Sports Medicine Design competition in Taiwan.

Model served as a foundation for future rehabilitation programs, motor disorder studies, and customized training programs aimed at producing maximum muscle power development.

Rehab Biomechanics Lead Researcher – SDSU ENS May 2016 – Dec 2017

Designed and performed a study to record the effects of learning in the use of an exoskeleton bionic suit.

Played a key role in the process validation, testing, and product research of the FES system.

Established a document control system and created the Work Instructions/inspections for the suit's operation.

Acted as PI Assistant Lead and guided undergraduate and graduate students through their curricula.
