Space and Satellite Systems – Lead Manufacturing Engineer September 2024 – Present Cube Satellite Research Club

Manufacture parts for satellite’s air core to within 0.005” tolerance and advise design team on manufacturability of designs

Update satellite materials on Excel to verify the thermal survivability of structural and electrical components in Low Earth Orbit. Using Thermal Desktop, evaluate the hot and cold cases of compact models to ensure batteries remain in -18-55 C

Calculate photosensitive diode’s theoretical product of spectral sensitivity and irradiance in outside atmosphere on Excel to provide backing of ground tests of controls system software at variable angles between 0 and 90 with respect to the ground

CAD antenna mounts, battery holders, and burn wire fasteners to reduce weight and cost of 2U CubeSat

Brainstorm and CAD an aerodynamic payload system for drone to accurately and precisely deploy heavy loads and return

Assemble antennas, battery holders, and burn wire fasteners in CAD to present designs to team using PowerPoint

Perform tensile and torque testing on assembled prototype of satellite structure to ensure quality of wire and fasteners Steel Bridge – Machinist and Manufacturing Engineer September 2024 – December 2024 Miniature Bridge Competition Club

Advised design team to CAD parts within tolerance to cut in machine shop. The final welded product held 8000 lbs

Modified AutoCAD design after team simulated deformations on SAP2000 to determine points of failure

Revised drawings and corrected design errors to ensure precise and accurate manufacturing processes in machine shop Baja SAE – Machinist and Recruiter October 2023 – January 2025 Offroad Vehicle Competition Club

Machined components for suspension and drivetrain on the lathe and mill to fit into older parts

Shadowed machinists’ operations of a CNC mill to understand its design, use, and applications with Fusion

Designed a flyer on Photoshop to promote the club on campus and introduce 50+ new members Cyclone RoboSub – Mechanical Design Engineer October 2023 – February 2025 Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Competition Club

Researched metals and chemical finishes to determine choice of material for AUV hull

Determined AUV buoyancy, thruster energy usage, and range of motion to develop AUV propulsion, lifetime, and emergency off button requirements. After safety and implementation of future structures were assured, it was manufactured in a CNC Mill

Optimized the size and quality of electronics to meet competition operation time for thrusters that operated at 50% power

Developed graphics on Photoshop to produce a video for sponsorship purposes that raised $3003

Researched and solved ordinary differential equations with propulsion team to develop software for kinematics of the AUV Work Experience

Regal Cinemas – Usher, Cashier, and Janitor Feb 2023 – Jul 2023

Created advertisements for and fundraised money for Regal’s Stars of Hope at the concessions stand

Cleaned the main lobby, movie theatres, and bathrooms to create a pleasant movie theatre experience

Restocked concessions stand and storage rooms to provide customers with hospitality and timeliness McDonalds – Barista, Cashier, and Janitor Aug 2020 – Feb 2021

Created drinks, fries, and meals to complete customer orders and reduce drive through times to less than one minute

Cleaned restaurant, kitchen, and bathrooms to create a pleasant dining experience and sanitary meals.
