Experience

• 

  Riverchase United Methodist Church

  Aug 2018 - Mar 2020

  Contemporary Service Setup Manager

  • Led crew of four that set up and took down around 300 chairs, a stage, and several poles and curtains in an efficient and timely manner before and after the church’s contemporary worship service.• Designed new layouts for higher volume services.

• 

  Technology Service Corporation (TSC)

  May 2022 - May 2023

  Mechanical Engineering Co-Op

  • Designed and modeled a set of four unique flex PCB cables, employing advanced geometry and complex CAD modeling techniques to successfully tailor the cables to a multi-radial perimeter housing, while also accommodating for thermal constraints and circumventing RF ports.• Collaborated on the development and modeling of an innovative cooling and housing concept for the aforementioned device, leading to a substantial (nearly 3x) increase in simulated sensor flight time. • Utilized CAD, iterative design processes, and rapid prototyping to create mechanical components and test fixtures. Also worked in CAD to create/update complex engineering drawings, parts, and assemblies.• Learned about and made use of mechanical engineering concepts such as GD&T. Show less

• 

  Draper

  May 2023 - Aug 2023

  Student GN&C Engineer

  • Conducted extensive research on avionics calibration intervals, unconventional IMU calibration methods, accelerated aging / degradation methods for electronics, and IMU error parameters, resulting in the creation of two comprehensive literature reviews.• Completed a comparative analysis of external IMU error models with internally developed Simulink models, ensuring Med-Fi simulation accuracy and alignment with industry standards.• Successfully debugged a Lo-Fi IMU model within Simulink, ensuring simulation functionality.• Learned about and made use of navigation engineering concepts such as Kalman filters.

  Auburn University

  Sept 2023 - May 2024

  Student Engineer Contractor (Boeing)

  • IDEAS/PDT program (partnership between Boeing and Auburn University)

• 

  Dynetics, Inc.

  May 2024 - now

  Technical Intern - Aerospace Engineering

  • Replaced EO/IR seeker software in a 6DOF missile simulation within Simulink, resolving interfacing issues and enabling successful target tracking.• Modernized a MATLAB based tool used to wrap battle management software,accommodating expanded software capabilities and engineer feedback, increasing tool usability and functionality.• Redesigned the cumbersome interface between a MATLAB tool and machine learning binaries, reducing operational complexity and allowing for easy integration of updated models.• Ensured efficient collaboration and documentation of Simulink models and MATLAB scripts using version control software such as GitLab and TortoiseSVN.
