At NASA's Swamp Works, I supported ISRU Pilot Excavator (IPEx), an excavation rover for the moon. I led the design, assembly, and testing of an experimental payload for a Blue Origin Suborbital Flight to test the excavation tool known as the bucket drum in a lunar environment. Additionally, I assembled the mechanical framework and conducted testing on the Technology Readiness Level 5 version of IPEx for a lunar mission demonstration.

I worked on designing and testing actuator pods, developing 3D printable components, and optimizing wheels for lunar excavation rovers.

I was responsible for creating CAD models for ground robots, designing emergency stop buttons with Xbee radio modules, and assembling node dropper and Wi-Fi nodes. Through this experience, I developed valuable skills in CAD modeling, Arduino integration, and robot assembly techniques.

I worked collaboratively with a team to upgrade 150 computers across the school district. I was responsible for testing and troubleshooting computer components to ensure optimal functionality and performance.

I collaborated with a diverse team to promote financial literacy and responsible decision-making among students. By leading new projects and participating in community events, I contributed to raising awareness and funds for sponsored organizations.
