Summary of Qualifications

I am a Biomedical Engineer whose undergraduate projects provided me experience in product testing, verification, and problem-solving methodologies that utilized standard measurements such as thermodilution and electrocardiography. Having independently designed a bioprinter, as well as managed a cross-functional team to develop practical solar energy applications, I am well positioned to contribute on biomedical projects.

Engineering Skills

MATLAB, SolidWorks, LabVIEW, Minitab, Instron Machines Work Experience

Design Project 2015 - 2016

Bioprinter

Designed and implemented 3-dimensional printing application for simple tissue constructs

Assumed ownership for project when prior team was unable to take it to next level of develop, requiring me to redesign project scope for continued development

Established foundation for project continuity

Collaborated with electrical and mechanical engineering faculty

Presented project to American Society for Engineering Education 3 Day Startup Fall 2015

Program Participant

Collaborated with team to pitch start-up business, Rebate Relief to Valley Venture Mentors private investors

Rebate Relief would be an online service that would allow distributors and customers of appliances such as heating, ventilation, and air conditioning, to have a list of rebates given by federal and state government
