Summary

I am a mechanical engineer with over 5 years of experience and expecting graduate with a master’s degree in aerospace engineering in spring 2024. Switched roles from a mechanical designer to a 1-D fluid system analyst where I have been successful in analyzing architecture solutions to meet program deadlines.
