SUMMARY:

I am a December 2015 graduate of the University of Pittsburgh interested in finding a full time position to gain experience in mechanical design, simulation, manufacturing, and/or testing of exciting products. I am motivated to meet people, solve problems, and grow as a professional in an entry level role. My enthusiasm, aptitude, and communication skills would make me an excellent addition to your team.

DEGREE AND CERTIFICATIONS:

University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania December 2015

Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering

ANSYS Training Certifications August 2015

Introduction to ANSYS SpaceClaim, Introduction to ANSYS Meshing, and Introduction to ANSYS Mechanical

WORK EXPERIENCE:

ANSYS Incorporated, Canonsburg, Pennsylvania

Co-op on the Mesh Testing Team January 2014-August 2015

Full-time work experience for 3 semesters

Prevented critical and minor defects by testing over 100 code changes before they were committed to a certified build

Wrote and maintained testing automation to decrease testing time and increase team communication

Updated testing automation to schedule testing dynamically as soon as resources were available

Wrote scripts to identify less informative or useful testcases and improve the test library

Updated test libraries to eliminate redundancies and improve organization

Ensured that future code changes do not break documented defect fixes by writing new test scripts

Clarified test strategies and expectations by writing testcase documentation

Improved my professional communication skills by working on a globally diverse team

SENIOR CAPSTONE PROJECT:

Cameron Valves and Measurement, Coraopolis, Pennsylvania

Development of a Flow Model for Viscosity Characterization Fall 2015

Designed and conducted a computational fluid dynamics experiment as a part of a 3 student team

Overcame challenges associated with configuring 96 pipe flow simulations using ANSYS CFX

Performed regression analysis with simulation data to find new solutions for a fluid mechanics equation describing flow through an orifice plate

Presented our procedure and incredible results to an audience with a wide range of mechanical engineering knowledge

Provided insights to improve any future studies or experiments on the effects of viscosity on flow through an orifice plate

ADDITIONAL SKILLS:

Basic MAPDL operations and conceptual understanding of finite element analysis theory

Spatial/mechanical aptitude for 2D and 3D drafting and modeling in AutoCAD and SolidWorks

Analysis, optimization, and statistical calculations using MATLAB and Microsoft Excel

Automation using Python and JavaScript

Writing in Google Documents and Microsoft Word

Presentations in Google Slides and Microsoft PowerPoint
