I am trained as a mechanical engineer with a degree under the ABET accredited program. I have experience with structural mechanics and 3D CAD modeling. I am interested in pursuing structural engineer and any type of engineering career relating to the mechanical engineering degree.
SUMMARY
NASA Project:
Involved in the ABEX (Alabama Burst Energetics Explorer ) Structure & Mechanism Team NASA Senior Design Class project in terms of solving problems with the structural components of the satellite. Provided CAD models for the group to facilitate working with FEA(Finite Element Analysis) methods to solve structural component problems relating to stress distribution and rigidity of the structure.
Photogrammetric Engineering Work:
Worked with Spatial Net, Inc. Photogrammetric Engineering Projects for solving spatial altitude and attitude of the photocentric and LIDAR data in terms of roll, pitch, yaw by using IMU and GPS navigation technology.
Vuteq Quality Control Work:
Vuteq Quality Control Project worked with solving problems in terms of making measurements of the car parts to ensure consistent good quality control and assurance of car parts. Built strong understanding of Lean Manufacturing knowledge.
