Industry Experience:

Contract Mechanical Engineer, Viking Systems, Annapolis, MD May 2025 - Present

Developed FEMAP models to support structural analysis and verification of U.S. Navy vessels.

Collaborated with senior engineers to optimize meshing strategies for large-scale models.

Mechanical Engineer, Key Technologies Inc. Baltimore, MD July 2024 - March 2025

Designed thermal subsystem for a diagnostic device, modeling parts and assemblies in SolidWorks and performing tolerance stack-ups as necessary. Generated BOM and assembly instructions.

Ran thermal and static FEAs using SolidWorks Simulation on a heat spreader plate, ensuring compliance with thermal requirements and minimizing deflection to enhance device reliability.

Used regression methods to create mathematical models of a thermal system in a highly multiplexed diagnostic device. Studied the models to determine the power needed for the device thermal system.

Molded anatomical models to perform 600+ tests on an endometrial ablation device with reliability concerns. Analyzed thermistor and pressure sensor data in Python to discover device failure modes.

Mechanical Engineering Senior Design, Towson, MD August 2023 - May 2024

Year-long Capstone design project, sponsored by Stanley Black and Decker.

Invented patent-pending, injection-molded DeWalt attachment that reduces leaf blower noise by nearly 40% while maintaining 90% of performance, expected to enter market in 2 years.

Used advanced techniques in both SolidWorks and PTC Creo to model complex geometry.

Performed fast Fourier transformations of leaf blower recordings, processed data in MATLAB to identify the noise source within the leaf blower system.
