- Immersive engineering role working with the MV-20 Autonomous Surface Vehicle (ASV) that demands ingenuity, problem solving, and efficiency. - Project Lead for the Internal Research and Development (IRAD) Boat for 2026: built execution plan to rebuild and upgrade boat, budget management/forecasting, charged hours, boat maintenance, boat upgrades, On-the-Water (OTW) testing coordinator, and scheduling/participation with government test events. - Design for Manufacturing (DFM) of MV-20 Platform encompassing a comprehensive Bill of Materials (BOM), Trade Studies for design improvements, parts and material procurement, and more. - Stability Analysis of MV-20: hand calculations and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) in Solidworks & Rhino with Orca 3D with regards to survivable sea state, self-righting, and payload deployment stability. - MV-20 Propulsion Trade Study to improve fuel burn including: optimize pitch of propellors for efficiency @ cruise, trim boat for 2,000 lbs. swing in overall weight mid-mission, and lessen drag coefficient of hull with smoother surface finish paint, optimize seakeeper trim tabs, and air-glide system in bow. - Wrote Boat Information Book (Boat Manual) detailing all subsystems of the MV-20, maintenance, launch procedures, and safety procedures. - Supported Long Endurance testing of MV-20: 3 week long continued OTW testing of platform. - Closeout build and inspections of MV-20 Hulls 0002 & 0003: finishing touches to make boats mirror copies of one another, extensive inspections of Hulls 0002 & 0003 down to the nut & bolt to facilitate final delivery to the buyer. - In-Service Engineering of MV-20 Hulls 0002 & 0003: design and integration of payload deployment platforms for mission critical support by the customer. - Ribbon Cutting for Panama City Facility: prepared and organized facility, coordinated with vendors, and hosted the local community and business partners for event.

Carved out role as Ocean Dynamics and Systems Integration Specialist supporting the Barracuda and Medusa Projects by reviewing Contract Data Requirement List and provided timely and constructive feedback/comments, as part of multiple systems engineering technical reviews including Quarterly Program Reviews (QPR) and Critical Design Reviews (CDR). o Earned the role of Modeling Working Group Lead which involved: MATLAB modeling and simulation of contractor simulator verifying and providing feedback, coordinating schedule planning, hosting meetings, reviewing deliverables and tracking Raytheon's milestone progress. o Lead efforts in writing the Integrated Master Schedule. o Developed and reviewed drawings, Notice or Revisions (NORs), and Engineering Change Proposals (ECPs). o Continued learning to ensure adaptability as an engineer by taking multiple Solidworks and project management classes at all available opportunities. o March 2022: Environmental safety observer in chase boat for offshore testing of MCM USV and AQS-20 with LCS, responsible for recovery of systems using RF link or manual towing in the event of system failure. o Maintain an active security clearance (secret).

Helped mechanical section design wave powered autonomous surface vehicle. Utilized Solidworks from initial planning to model and for buoyancy study, flow simulations, and finite element assessment. Developed system addressing all requirements while following strict budget and minimizing machining and fabricating time. Key Accomplishments: • Increased efficiency of 10-bearing gearbox by 50% by changing to higher ABEC-bearings to improve efficiency. • Developed prototype superstructure to keep axial alignment under 0.04" tolerances under loading.

Arranged designing and machining parts on CNC mill and lathe. Created specific part or assembly on Solidworks and machined from raw materials. Served in research and development of new parts for autonomous underwater vehicles. Key Accomplishments: • Improved camera housing bracket strength by 300% with CNC made 6061 aluminum part.
