• Streamlined an investigation by programming a data processing file in Python, slashing data analysis time by 70%

• Resolved 40+ customer complaints on returned products by verifying and debugging issues in hardware and software

• Presented experimental conclusions to a team of engineers using clear visuals, graphs, and statistical analysis on Minitab to ensure designs met the deliverable requirements SharkNinja Operating LLC-Needham, MA January 2018-June 2018 Product Development Engineer Co-op - Robots

• Optimized mechanical design of the Shark IQ Robot side brush, eliminating its need for maintenance due to hair wrap

• Initialized development of a robot attachment from concept to design through iterative CAD and validation testing

• Collaborated and brainstormed with an interdisciplinary team to determine design requirements and customer needs

• Visualized design concepts by prototyping 6 proof-of-concept models in a month through machining and hacking tools NxStage Medical, Inc.-Lawrence, MA January 2017-June 2017 Mechanical Engineer Co-op

• Led an investigation and re-design of an injection molded patient connector cap to obtain an air-tight seal

• Designed detailed fixtures using SolidWorks to speed up precise assembly and alignment production processes

• Identified critical dimensions of injection molded parts using CAD drawing files and validated interfaces with a tolerance stack-up to correct issues that impeded mass production and improve production yield PROJECTS

Off-Grid Water Purifier July 2019-December 2019

Senior Capstone Project

• Developed an off-grid distillation device from concept for areas in water crisis with a team of 5 engineering students

• Designed, fabricated, and tested a functional prototype, netting 500mL of purified water in 30 minutes

• Analyzed tradeoffs using numerical models, simulations, and designed test experiments to optimize constraints for size, heat transfer efficiency, power consumption, cost, portability, and safety in a high-temperature system

• Managed budget and progress by spearheading high-priority tasks and resources to complete them efficiently Other Projects

• Created script in MATLAB to conduct Finite Element Analysis (FEA) on any two-dimensional truss system
