MY PROJECTS

 Skills: Extensive CAD design and drawings (NX), ANSYS Analysis, Load Calculations, Parachute Steady State Calculations, Advanced 3D Printing, Machining

Electronics component selection, assembly, damping

 Responsible Engineer for fully designing, manufacturing, and testing a full-scale parachute drop test vehicle housing avionics to test any payload weighing 15-1500 lbs under multiple parachute types to obtain inflation data

Design a parachute packing fixture to efficiently pack different sized parachutes under hydraulic press

Assist in night-time spacecraft recovery operations 

Main stage separation at 1500 ft using black powder canisters: designed it on CAD< manufactured it, and tested stage separation numerous times on the ground

 Guided Recovery System: The RAM air parachute's lines are controlled by a set of wheel drums and stepper motors, allowing for precise in-and-out movement similar to how a skydiver maneuvers a parachute. I designed the complete deployment system, which includes the reefing process, pilot chute, and main chute deployment. Additionally, I conducted drop tests to validate the deployment sequence at a skydiving center. 

 - Design launch vehicle system layout

- Machine shop trained

- High Power Rocketry Certified

Skills: Systems V-Diagram, eBOM aBOM mBOM, writing extensive technical documentation, manufacturing and process flow

 Maintain manufacturing product structures for integrated products of the New Glenn Launch Vehicle under the guidance of vehicle stage production configuration leads

Create command media that describes structures of New Glenn launch vehicle’s As designed and manufacturing Bill of Materials (BOM) for each product of New Glenn: First Stage, Upper Stage, Payload Accommodation

Provide recommendations for standardization of BOM methodologies to drive consistency across launch vehicle

Thermal Vacuum Chamber Testing of Satellite: Conducted thermal vacuum chamber tests, including both hot and cold conditions. Debugged issues on the thermal vacuum chamber itself: identified and fixed source of leak from TVAC chamber

Clean Room Manufacturing and Testing: Performed a series of clean room shifts for manufacturing and testing the satellite. This involved installing holograms, testing the magnetometer and electronics, and evaluating the light sail deployment actuation system, including test burns of wires and door deployment on the satellite 

Assemble the satellite prototype for hot-air balloon testing prior to launch

  Created an Artificial Intelligence hat that can aid the blind with mobility and spatial awareness by utilizing cameras, ultrasonic sensors, and image classification algorithms to identify objects in the user’s environment. 

My Role: Team Captain - conduct design reviews, iterate prototype, create electrical diagrams, create business plan, network with industry to find target audience of visually impaired members and file a patent for the innovation 

 Featured on Cheddar News and Optimum, our device will provide the blind a sense of safety, security, and overcome common social stigmas allowing them to be more comfortable in society.
