Professional Experience

I developed technical expertise and real-world experience during summer internships at Gulfstream Aerospace, Paramium Technologies, and New Century Industries.

Student Athlete

I performed as Cosmo the Cougar (Division 1 Collegiate Mascot) for four years. I spent hundreds of hours fostering a sense of community, sportsmanship, and a strong work ethic amongst students, kids, and families. Along the way, I set two world records as the First Mascot to do a Triple Backflip and The World's Farthest Basket Toss 3-Point Dunk.

Broad Engineering Skillset

I create physics-based models, run simulations, build rapid prototypes, conduct tests, analyze failures, and iterate to bring engineering solutions to human problems - and its fun!

Patience and Endurance

"Patience is not passive resignation, nor is it failing to act because of our fears.
Patience means active waiting and enduring. It means staying with something... it is enduring well!
- Dieter F Uchtdorf

Finite Element Analysis

An aircraft structure takes on complex loads. I helped improve Gulfstream's modeling methods and simulations with MSC Nastran / Patran.

Automation

I created a safe, efficient, and reliable mechatronic positioning system to increase the production capability from two thousand to twenty thousand units a year - generating more than $2 million in profit annually for NCI. This involved mechanical design and coding a script that took input from multiple sensors to specify various output positions of the robot.

Advanced Manufacturing

I helped design a robotic system to manipulate an adjustable mold in order to shape metal into satellite groundlink dishes via induction heating.

Game Time

I set a world record in front of 60,000 fans as "The First Mascot to do a Triple Backflip"

Machine Programming

I programmed a 7-axis steel rim spinning machine to create custom rim geometries. I used MasterCam to toolpath and edited G-Code to achieve faster cycle times.

The Numbers

“When performance is measured, performance improves. When performance is measured and reported, the rate of improvement accelerates.”
- Thomas S. Monson
