Dynamic professional with over eight years of experience in restaurant management and service, bringing proven leadership, adaptability, and problem-solving to the field of mechanical engineering. Specializes in the design and optimization of advanced mechanical systems, with core strengths in thermo-fluid dynamics, combustion, and the thermal and electrical behavior of materials. Proficient in CAD/CAM, 3D modeling and printing, DFMA, and robotics-integrated electromechanical systems.
As lead mechanical designer on a NASA-sponsored capstone supporting the Psyche Mission, I guided design iterations from initial computational modeling to final physical prototyping. Leveraged CAD tools, additive manufacturing, and statistical analysis to validate structural and thermal performance. Applied downselection methodologies to align technical development with customer requirements and mission constraints. Combined technical rigor with collaborative teamwork to deliver innovative, dependable solutions to complex design challenges.
Led the mechanical design of a conceptual space elevator anchor for NASA's Psyche Mission in a fully remote, cross-disciplinary team environment.
