  • Lead engineer on a new Rail Car Unloading system. Responsible for a small team of engineers ensuring that the mechanical, electrical, and software goals are met.
  • Performed troubleshooting of complex electrical systems in the field to identify root cause of issues.
  • Employing Matlab to analyze data and create machine learning models to accomplish predictive maintenance on Conair's Smart Granulators.
  • Began leading Conair's Intern program, overseeing recruitment efforts at the University of Pittsburgh to fill positions in electrical, mechanical, and software engineering, while also managing ongoing intern activities.

Electrical Engineer I

Conair Group
Cranberry, PA
04.2023 - 01.2024
  • Redesign and lead development of Conair's Smart Granulators. Replaced the machines push button relay logic with a PLC with HMI. With these changes came a plethora of control improvements.
  • Redesign and lead development of Conair's Smart Shredders. A complete control code and user interface overhaul.
  • Designed a line of desktop simulators to emulate products out in the field. Able to run the exact production software on a physical system at my desk.
  • Collaborated with other engineers on design projects to ensure safety and quality standards were met.
  • Determined power requirements and selected hardware for specific applications based on load calculations and other factors.

Electrical Engineering Intern

Conair Group
CRANBERRY TOWNSHIP, Pennsylvania
04.2022 - 04.2023
  • Conducted research on Conair's granulator's and determined the plausibility of a redesign. Discovered that replacing the push button and relay logic control with a PLC would reduce costs.
  • Provided support to other teams. Conducted a wide array of tests across different projects and generated detailed reports. Aided in creating electrical schematics and sourcing new vendors to meet our hardware requirements.
  • Spearheaded the use of Matlab at Conair to improve the way we analyze data and implement data driven algorithms across products. Conair's engineering team has since adopted the use of Matlab to implement PID control, machine learning applications, and more.
