2450 Dorchester Dr. N APT 201, Troy, MI 48084 (626) 215 - 3642 *.*********@*****.*** Executed Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) project on indirect fuel cooling for the truck program early into the vehicle's life cycle, reducing program cost by eliminating need of physical testing of indirect fuel cooling Initiated thermal study of a vehicle's rear reflector's proximity to exhaust, and provided recommendation based on study, eliminating a cost increase of $270K over the life time of the Camaro program Conducted and analyzed complex transient 1-D simulations, modeling highly integrated cooling systems that includes but is not limited to: heat exchangers, HVAC, plumbing, transmission calibrations, aero drag and much more for the truck program Introduced a new smoked stop lamp variant for the ZL1 1LE Camaro in a condescended time frame to meet and exceed aesthetic quality requirements at a low cost increase to the program Collected experimental and numerical data of combustion processes for PMMA cylinders with varying lengths under various conditions in a controlled environment

Facilitated cross functional meetings to implement product improvements on both the Camaro and Corvette program; identified potential cost reduction leading to a $35k and $7k annual cost save on Camaro and Corvette program, respectively Reacted quickly to emerging issues, working around the clock, gathering key players to assess risk, containment, and process improvements, limiting vehicle holds at the plant and nullifying any potential costly vehicle recalls Mentored 20+ high school students for FRC, teaching and advising students the intricacies of mechanical systems, and won regional competition at Woodhaven, Michigan in 2017 Liaise new hires in the new rotational program, TRACK, and served as the contact point for rotation inquires and internal TRACK career fairs

Served as representative of the fraternity in both campus and national activities, while ensuring the Delta Omega chapter conducts meetings in an efficient manner Developed and globally shared Excel based macros for numerical analysis of simulations reducing the time spent processing data and graphs by 50%
