• Designed critical components including baffles, gaskets, and LED housing for commercial food waste disposers. • Managed engineering change actions and drawing deviations for CAD models, assemblies, and released designs, ensuring alignment with product standards and manufacturability. • Partnered with manufacturing and quality teams to resolve non-conformances and maintained production flow.

• Diagnosed and resolved form, fit, and function issues on Cybertruck interior parts, improving build quality. • Collaborated with NPI, supply chain, and quality teams to validate design changes for production. • Supported line-side trials and build by validating components and solving complex integration issues. • Created deviations and engineering change actions involving 3D CAD, materials, and cost-saves changes. • Led design and implementation of a new Cybertruck part, improving fit and function, reducing cost by $16 through strategic supplier alignment.

• Assisted in helping spread the EPICS program through campus-wide student recruitment activities including classroom presentations. • Facilitated alumni and industry events by coordinating campus visits and creating opportunities for students.

• Constructed a Tuner using Fusion360 and Arduino to impact 30+ students in the band at Indiana School of the Blind and Visually Impaired in music classes throughout their middle and high school experience. • Led the team through the Human-Centered Design Process, creating Gantt charts and project plans. • Problem-solved and applied electrical skills to improve PCB (Printed Circuit Board) design increasing the accuracy of audio detection by 60% with tight deadlines.

• Developed Power BI based dashboard to visualize lab data, speed up, and streamline analysis. • Improved lab fixtures and drawing across NX and CATIA to clarify technical documentation and update designs. • Presented technical part performance reports on durability, lifecycle, and technical findings to stakeholders.

• Designed suspension and steering parts for an electric race car using Solidworks, ensuring precise integration. • Enhanced the assembly of chassis by using CAD skills with accurate calibration of components.

• Volunteered and Formed connections with middle and high school students to familiarize them with engineering programs. • Performed interactive activities to give students opportunities to discover and explore their inner engineers. • Built knowledge of technical skills and experiences relevant to developing an Engineering career.

• Designed a compressor by adding layered shell cavities to mask and reduce noise and vibration. • Tested compressors under a range of pressure conditions with varied increments of sizes and thicknesses to reduce NVH (Noise, Vibration, and Harshness). • Collected data using LabView to analyze the pressure, temperature, and power of the simulation.

- Taught Math, English, and Science to students ages 5-12. - Organized and led Reading and Arts and Crafts Club. - Instructed students virtually during the COVID pandemic.
