Career Profile
I’m a third-year student with an interest in design and analysis of mechanical systems, as well as computer systems and computation. For the past two terms, I have become an active member of the UAH Space Hardware Club. Currently, I am working on project Skyfire, a rocketry payload submission to the AAS CanSat Competition. This term I have begun to learn more about networking, operating a Linux based server to do basic duties and donating the extra processing power to the F@H protein folding research program through Stanford University.
Projects
Experiences
Starting in May 2019, I began working at Mercury Systems helping design structural elements along with thermal management solutions for various projects. The workflow has been a strong mixture of both conceptional design and hands-on manufacturing/testing. I was responsible for overseeing the product life-cycle of systems of my own design, and was allowed the chance to further branch my skills into Electrical Engineering and secure computing.
The position started in early may and lasted through until August when I had to go back to studying at University full time.
I worked as a lifeguard and swimming instructor at the Collins Hill Aquatics Center, ran by Gwinnett County Parks and Recreation. I worked four half-year seasons there from May 2016 to August 2018, missing the winter 2017 season due to my freshman year of college. I made a name for myself by working hard, doing my duties and beyond where I could. I ended up learning to manage pool chemistry, got certified to run the front desk operation, and started opening and closing the pools at early or late hours. I was often commended for the engaging, new ways I taught the material.
