ELEMENT MATERIALS TECHNOLOGY, Rancho Dominguez, California Sales Application Engineer (2019)

• Acted as the technical point of contact and solved emergent challenges as the supplier and mitigated risk by addressing feasibility of testing options

• Reviewed issues on root cause and provided efficient solutions within required timeframes

• Implemented pricing strategies and worked with all cross-functional groups to agree on scope, path forward and ultimate resolution resulting in impactful customer satisfaction

• Planned cost development, management and scheduling for assigned projects adhering to customer requirements as needed

• Worked with customers to deliver non-destructive testing by supporting OEM accounts with technical analysis for all testing procedures

• Provided direct customer deliverables for non-destructive testing in accordance to relevant process equipment specification requirements (ASM, ASTM, Boeing, Rolls Royce, Pratt & Whitney specifications)

• Developed a pricing model process and unit operation to calculate cost of testing bases on test time or surface area, and scaled to new parts in MS Office Excel which allowed for quicker turnaround times.

• Used AutoCAD/Visio to analyze P&ID and PFD.

• Met and exceeded key performance indicators set by company initiatives UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, Irvine, California

Graduate Research Project Manager (2016-2018)

• Implemented design experiments, calculations, planning/project management, project resource planning, and created SOP for simulation work

• Conducted research and troubleshooted software and network issues as needed by implementing key solutions to resolve issues

• Was awarded a $250,000 GAANN fellowship due to project implementation

• Developed relationship with ThermoCALC software vendor, which allowed the ability to troubleshoot software/network issues, which launched lab’s computational software efforts

• Optimized concentrations of materials in computer simulation to identify good performers, which reduced time spent running wet lab experiments manually

• Tasked with operating computational software to initially mimic results in a popular scientific journal, and simulated data which lab has generated by hand.

• Conducted thorough review of scientific literature on high temperature corrosion/thermal barrier coatings technology, and presented a critique to three world renowned scientific instructors CALTECH MATERIALS SCIENCE AND PROCESS SIMULATION CENTER, Pasadena, California American Chemical Society Research Scholar (2014-2016)

• Conducted the calculation and modeling of fuel cell catalysis performance using linear regression (data plotting) in Excel based on quantum mechanics simulations done in Linux Code, and published results in the Journal of Molecular Catalysis – A)

• Presented analytical results at a talk given at 227th Electrochemical Society Conference in Chicago, Illinois, and was funded by the CSULB Chemical Engineering Department

• Awarded national ACS scholarship and the Sally Casanova Fellowship, a prestigious award given to only 60 students in the entire California State University system. NORTHRUP GRUMMAN, Manhattan Beach, California

Microelectronic Engineer Intern (2015)

• Implemented process for growing semiconductor crystals using molecular beam epitaxial (MBE) systems under the instruction of the supervisor and engineers

• Prepared wafers for crystal growth, loading/unloading wafers into the MBE chambers, and setting up recipe

• Implemented, modified and maintained chemical processes by designing the process flow diagram to define heat and material balance model based on rate of material consumption, which allowed engineers to know when source material was running low in order to increase production and uptime.
