As a Naval Reactors Engineer, I oversee the design, maintenance, and operation of nuclear reactors and power systems for the U.S. Navy’s aircraft carriers, with a focus on the FORD Class Aircraft Carrier. I lead the engineering of critical fluid systems, provide technical guidance for fleet support, and ensure the safe and timely construction of new carriers. My role involves solving complex technical challenges, optimizing system integration, and ensuring strict adherence to safety and regulatory standards. This experience has strengthened my expertise in nuclear propulsion, fluid systems, and technical leadership, preparing me to pursue a Master’s in Mechanical Engineering.
