HP Inc.

Systems Integration Engineer, Contract

Created ink delivery system providing stable flow and accurate measurements for ink and pen development. Achieved 50% reduction in startup time through improved thermal distribution and PID controller for test bed. Developed a Python script to analyze and visualize thermal data values from an infrared camera (IR). Revamped legacy tool improving flow rate for the ink delivery system test and hysteresis in tool components.

Amazon Robotics

Robotics Deployment Engineer, Contract

Decreased production errors by 20% and a launched site ahead of schedule by 1.5 months by diligently managing multiple teams of third-party assemblers for the installation of stations and drives. Established Allen Bradley software for robotic safety systems and set up Cognex vision for station recognition. Analyzed, debugged, & ensured that all robotic environments met Amazon Robotics’ GD&T requirements. Originated solution for robotic drive awakening procedure that cut procedure time from 5 to 2 hours per floor.

Glaukos

Systems Engineer, Student

Enhanced fatigue testing process for new product development by creating a periorbital simulator test fixture with strong repeatability and reducing the time needed to test the product. Formulated Design of Experiments (DoE) to ensure strong repeatability and efficiency of test fixture. Developed a contact force system that can be moved into position, apply, & measure force using C++ to periorbital simulator. Conceived a system to collect data from the load cell using an ADC to an Arduino, and a DAQ system for captured data. Computed finite element analysis simulation on test fixture to validate structural stability of material and design choices. Design a simulated human periorbital bone and tissue structure with key anatomic features.

Philips Respironics

R&D Controls Engineer, Intern

Sole intern working independently on creating an automated test fixture for prototype ventilator on the Respironics team. Reduced test process time from four hours to thirty-minutes by enabling test procedures to be completed using a program with a simplified UI. Facilitated multiple design reviews soliciting feedback and offering insight into design process to meet requirements. Collaborated with test engineers to gage usability requirements ensuring compatibility of test fixture with current workflow. Developed code for automated actuator controller using LabVIEW graphical programming environment. Engaged in final product testing at Westpak performing vibration, shock, & drop tests, as well as clinician trials.

University of San Diego

Undergraduate Researcher

Enabled more student engagement with the topics of tension and compression and allowed for a greater understanding. Conceptualized learning aid that provides a physical representation of tension and compression in a truss system. Drafted components for learning aid in Solidworks and produced parts using Ultimaker 2+ 3D printers. Implemented learning aid in lower division engineering statics course and integrated with instructor lesson plan.
