Professional Experience
Mechanical Engineering Intern – Real D, Boulder, CO 6/2014-9/2014
Contributed personal designs, using SolidWorks, 3D printing and hands-on fabrication for Real D’s Ultimate Screen, laser
§
projection and XL 3D optical systems. Developed crucial process steps for the production of the Ultimate Screen using
engineering design and documentation increasing efficiency and quality while and driving down costs.
§ Gained valuable experience in product development, manufacturing and material process engineering through the application of
prototyping and engineering tests to validate safety and quality. Expedited the design cycle and provided critical insights to
prevent errors during design prior to manufacturing, which decreased lead-time and saved money.
§ Worked with teams of mechanical, optical, manufacturing and electrical engineers on multiple diverse projects. Improved
project management skills by working in a dynamic industry specializing in the application of cutting edge technologies to
create unique and innovative products for the entertainment industry.
Pipeline Thermal Stress Research Engineer – Shell Energy, Houston TX 8/2013- 5/2014
Led the Thermal-Fluid Design and Manufacturing teams, overseeing groups of up to seven engineers by utilizing individual
§
skillsets, coordinating with team members and their corresponding responsibilities to meet project deadlines.
§ This design project researched an important safety issue focusing on thermo-fluid behavior and heat transfer. Used SolidWorks
CFD simulations alongside theoretical results to manufacture and test an experimental system in the lab environment. The
results are being used to inform the implementation of safety equipment in multiple onsite petrochemical refineries.
§ Drafted detailed documentation as well as prepared and presented technical progress reports to the project manager, refining
professional communication and analysis skills individually and as a team member.
Product Design/Mechanical Engineering Intern – Silicon Graphics, Longmont, CO 6/2013-8/2013
Created and implemented multiple electro-mechanical 3D CAD designs, documentation and bill of materials using SolidWorks,
§
for SGI’s latest Infinite Storage platform. Designs allowed products remain the highest density, dual-server storage system
currently available worldwide.
§ Succeeded by working in unison with engineers from various backgrounds in a team environment to accomplish project goals.
Gained key insights to understanding team dynamics, engineering economics and design for manufacturing.
Senior Maintenance Supervisor – Geneva Glen Camp, Indian Hills, CO 5/2010-8/2012
Supervised over thirty employees working on construction, maintenance, and outdoor projects, demonstrating leadership
§
abilities and learned to manage and educate a large, diverse group of people.
§ Successfully designed and directed multiple projects including the construction of an amphitheater over a burned homestead.
Tutoring - University of Colorado at Boulder, Boulder, CO 9/2011–5/2014
Tutored at-risk high school students in various subjects, gaining valuable experience in communicating technical knowledge via
§
teaching and group interaction. Also tutored University of Colorado students in calculus and statistics.
Academic Engineering Experience
8/2012-12/2012
Solar Tracking Array Project, University of Colorado at Boulder, CO
Implemented multiple sets of sensors to allow for a full range of hemispherical motion while eliminating the use of analytical
§
methods when attempting to trace the sun’s motion, and to maximize the energy output of the solar panel.
Adaptive Tricycle for Disabled Child, University of Colorado at Boulder, CO 1/2012-5/2012
Designed and fabricated an adaptive tricycle for a child with cerebral palsy. Devised a tricycle with the intent of utilizing
§
child’s unique strengths and range of motion while also addressing handicap. Selected for use from five alternative products.
