I develop and test advanced systems that merge embedded electronics, composite materials, and intelligent automation to prototype next-generation wearable, mobility, and aerospace technologies. My work bridges concept design and production, integrating sensor networks, power systems, and composite structures to accelerate innovation across multiple domains. Core Focus Areas: • Embedded & Edge Systems: Design, assemble, and program microcontroller-based prototypes integrating temperature, motion, and environmental sensors for smart control and telemetry. • Composites & Fabrication: Execute wet layup, vacuum bagging, and autoclave processes for new material formulations; evaluate performance under mechanical and thermal stress testing. • AI-Ready Hardware: Build and test sensor arrays and control modules designed to interface with future edge-AI models for autonomous decision-making and data-driven optimization. • Mobility Electrification: Develop modular electrical subsystems for small-format electric vehicles, focusing on energy efficiency, control logic, and manufacturability. • Certification & Process Control: Support FAA documentation efforts by drafting and validating Process Control Documents (PCDs) that meet aerospace manufacturing standards. • Prototyping & Validation: Plan and execute rapid testing cycles, collecting and analyzing temperature, voltage, and performance data to refine system efficiency and reliability.

I oversaw all custom graphic and fabrication projects from initial concept through digital design, layout, and production. My role blends creative design, precision measurement, and hands-on fabrication using both traditional and advanced manufacturing technologies. Working directly with customers, I translate complex visual or mechanical ideas into engineered, manufacturable designs that meet functional and aesthetic requirements across a wide range of substrates and materials. Core Responsibilities: • Lead all custom graphic design and layout work, managing projects from concept to pre-production. • Coordinate job flow and resource planning for optimized time and process management. • Handle data entry and documentation for all incoming custom work. • Maintain and track valuable and rare gauge clusters for specialized customization projects. • Serve as customer liaison, gathering in-depth technical and visual details for each project. • Utilize Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMM) for accurate 3D measurement and digital representation of customer parts. • Create digital renderings and vector assets for gauge clusters, labels, and custom components. • Digitize and vectorize customer logos, graphics, and imagery for precision printing and fabrication. • Experiment with multi-material combinations and advanced processes to drive new product and design innovations. • Operate and maintain a wide range of equipment including thermal printers, direct-to-print systems, laser cutters, 3D printers, waterjets, and other precision fabrication tools. • Work across diverse materials — vinyl, aluminum, plastic, Lexan, polycarbonate, glass, stone, and tile — to achieve unique visual and structural outcomes.

• Learned software development industry best practices and standards in a full-time, five-month program. • Completed several modules and assessments while learning new languages and frameworks, and under the guidance of a senior software engineer in a mentor-student relationship. • Completed several hands-on role-based and scenario-based projects and virtual labs designed to simulate real-world tasks and challenges. • As part of the program, produced professional projects from concept to completion, including: Notable Projects: o Library application | svanlee (Scott van Leeuwen) (github.com)g ▪ Assembled the functionality for an application that allows users to search, review, and check out books from their local neighborhood. ▪ Created search and sorting functions to allow users to know what books were available and their rating. ▪ Coded using JavaScript functions that enable the expansion of the library without requiring code refactoring. ▪ Technology: JavaScript ES6, Bootstrap, HTML5, Node.js o Restaurant reservation application | svanlee (Scott van Leeuwen) (github.com)g ▪ Worked with a full stack reservation and table management system. ▪ Implemented a React router and Express to build a RESTful API, to make HTTP requests for all the reservation data stored in the connected PostgreSQL database. ▪ Created CRUD functions and Knex queries to handle data going to and coming from the database. ▪ Used Git to track changes and versions while keeping sensitive information from being pushed to repositories. ▪ Technology: React, Node.js, Express, Knex and PostgreSQL o Movie database application | * ▪ Assembled the back end of a movie website to allow a user to search for their favorite movies. ▪ Used CRUD methods for reviews, and to view theaters and movies that are showing. ▪ Applied router and controller functions to retrieve a user's specific requests. ▪ Technology: Node.js, Express, Knex, and version control with Git.

Produced precision instrumentation components using CAD, vector design, and CMM measurement. Operated laser cutters, 3D printers, waterjets, thermal printers, and direct-print systems.
