7/19-9/19 & 1/20 - Present

Technical Project Specialist • Flex

Ø Designed, built, and tested a working prototype that highlights the features of light/touch-through-metal technology Ø Redesigned and manufactured a sensor demonstration apparatus for manufacturability, ease of use, and performance Ø Developed interpersonal skills by leading several meetings regarding strategic positioning and customer engagement Ø Identified potential improvements in customer technologies by

“tearing down” and documenting the mechanical structure and PCBAs which refines overall technical communication and knowledge

1/19-12/19

Critical Radius of Insulation Demo • Senior Design Project Ø Used EES to create multiple robust thermal loading models and temperature ranges of insulated cylindrical heaters to determine the critical radius of insulation

Ø Gained hands design, build, and test experience by creating prototype to verify the accuracy of the analytical model Ø Improved thermal analysis ability by redesigning code to account for experimental results and allowed team to make more accurate predictions in future configurations

Ø Improved troubleshooting skills by performing cycle of testing and reconfiguring to achieve desired result of demonstration 6/17-9/17 & 6/18-9/18

Component Product Engineering Intern • Aerojet Rocketdyne Ø Gained additive manufacturing knowledge by analyzing Aerojet Rocketdyne and supplier SLM capabilities

Ø Conducted a trade study on viability and practicality of additive manufactured flanges based on manufacturing time and cost Ø Honed technical writing skills by revising engineering specifications, requirements and test plans and moved the documents through their approval cycles

Ø Through team collaboration, designed and coordinated a pressure test with several engineering disciplines on insulated section of pipe to determine pressure carrying capacity of foam insulation
