REB is your one-stop shop for everything PEVs. Whether you are looking to buy, rent, service, or shop for new parts & accessories, you’ve found the right place. We currently have multiple independently owned and operated locations across the country, which allows us to curate a localized experience by creating a community of other riders in the rapidly growing PEV industry. The locations specialize in the renting, selling, and servicing of Onewheels, Electric Skateboards, Electric Scooters, Electric Bikes, Electric Unicycles, and more. Founder & owner of Houston location since 2017 Purchased parent company from previous owner in 2019 www.renteboards.com

Mechanical Engineering working on the xEMU spacesuit design team on the NASA JETS Contract.

CX12 - Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory (NBL) of EVA, Robotics & Crew Systems Division in Flight Operations Directorate (FOD). Various mechanical design project such as upgrading the trainer for the Extravehicular Mobility Unit Caution and Warning System and investigating expansion of environmental simulation fidelity of facility.

ER5 - Dynamic Systems Test Branch of Software Robotics and Simulations Division in Engineering Directorate (EA). Performed tasks advancing the development of various projects including design of a Vibration Isolation and Stabilization (VIS) system for on-orbit exercise equipment, a Dexterous Manipulator Testbed (DMT) to test on-orbit robotic operations, and an Active Response Gravity Offload System (ARGOS) to simulate microgravity training environments.

EC4 - Systems Test Branch of Crew and Thermal Systems Division in Engineering Directorate (EA). Design a better heating system to increase the test capabilities of the thermal vacuum chambers. Used Thermal Desktop to perform thermal analysis, worked on test planning, & executed thermal testing to characterize new heating solution & compare to old system.

Embedded Systems Group Product development for electro-mechanical designs, Circuit Card Assembly (CCA) & Printed Circuit Board (PCB) design, sheet metal design, isothermal testing, and thermal verification & validation testing.

EC2 - Design & Analysis Branch of Crew and Thermal Systems Division in Engineering Directorate (EA). Designed an attachment system for inflatable airlocks, support hardware for a suborbital flight, equipment stowage layout for Orion capsule, and reconfigurable test fixture for advanced spacesuit testing & design.

Participated in AggiE-Challenge, Texas A&M University's design challenge program which tackles the engineering grand challenges, for the Fall 2016 semester. Our challenge: 'Design & Control of a Vibration-Added Haptic Device for Minimally Invasive Surgical Simulation'. I developed a test method for a psychophysical vibration study, wrote software in LabVIEW to run the test and collect data, modeled and 3D-printed different designs in SolidWorks for a stylus housing.

Team lead for the Structures, Materials, Thermal, Radiation, and Systems (SMTRS) team. While a part of this team, I have completed the AggieSat-4 SolidWorks model to simplify and run thermal and structural analysis simulations of the satellite on orbit. AggieSat-4 was the most recent mission at the AggieSat lab, part of the NASA LONESTAR Campaign, we worked with the Texas Spacecraft Laboratory, who designed the 3U CubeSat, BEVO-2.

Embedded Systems Group Fast-paced design of a functional prototype for a future product. Worked closely with EE interns to provide mechanical support for PCB and CCA design. Unbiased parallel design of different enclosures/solutions. Designed and manufactured a rig to streamline thermal testing of controllers and improve quality of life for other engineers.
