PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
Mechanical/Hardware Engineer II (LaserJet Supply Chain Operations)
HP Inc. Boise, Idaho
May 2019-Present
Brought cost savings/avoidance of over $500,000 in FY20 while procuring and improving design quality of sheet metal, plastic, cables, and fastener parts through implementation of technical skills (CAD/simulation/drafting) and communication between engineers and suppliers.
Reduced overall size of control panel to improve aesthetic quality while supporting Control Panel R&D in design of subassemblies and drawing creation.
Mechanical Engineering Intern
HP Inc. Boise, Idaho
May 2017-May 2019
Designed and tested custom plastic ribbing patterns for an injection-molded component assembly of a future product with the objective of resisting torsion while remaining inconspicuous to the customer.
oIncreased pattern stiffness by up to 62% while reducing material by up to 16%.
Designed hot-plate welding ribs for an injection-molded component with the objective of increasing the strength of a future product.
Undergraduate Research Assistant
Washington State University. Pullman, Washington

PROJECTS/LEADERSHIP
Suture Tensile Testing Project
January 2019-May 2019
Generated and performed an experiment evaluating the mechanical performance (breaking strength and elongation) of non-absorbable sutures (silk and nylon) at varying pH solutions to simulate the various environments inside of the human body using ASTM D5034-09(2017).
Arm Simulator Sleeve Subsystem Lead
August 2018-December 2018
Led a group in designing and producing a skin/sleeve subsystem for a wearable arm simulator meant to allow medical students to practice professional-patient communication during blood draw and intravenous insert procedures for the Pullman Regional Hospital.
