Work History
Team Management
University of Southern California
01.2024 - 05.2024
- I was in charge of a team instructed to pick a real team, observe and shadow their meetings, and use the define, measure, analyze, and implementation (DMAI) process in providing recommendations on improving team dynamics.
Risk Management
University of Southern California
08.2023 - 12.2023
- I was in charge of a team to conduct a full mock risk analysis plan on the ongoing NASA SLS project. This included qualifying, quantifying, and analyzing all the risks at hand using multiple steps of fault analysis, sensitivity analysis, and simulations.
PMP - Project Manager
University of Southern California
01.2023 - 05.2023
- I was in charge of conducting a mock project for the client. The purpose of this project was to gain experience in using the tools necessary for project management and creating a program management plan that incorporated aspects of both traditional and agile project management.
Resistojet Design Project
University of Southern California
01.2023 - 05.2023
- Through MATLAB, I designed a complete resistojet thruster from scratch. I had to pick a mission profile, materials, propellant, and power source. Through that, I needed to pick necessary storage temperatures and pressures, and through thermodynamic analysis using radiation shielding, we needed to use the heating tube to accelerate the flow and turn the cold gas into a thruster.
EELV PMP - Team Lead
Cal Poly Pomona
08.2021 - 12.2022
- I was a team lead for the creation of a complete “mock” program management plan (PMP) for both the conceptual and detail design of an evolved expendable launch vehicle (EELV) based on a Space Force RFP. I was also in charge of developing timelines, CPM plans, crash cost analysis, budgeting, and network diagrams.
Launch Vehicle Family Design - Team Lead
Cal Poly Pomona
08.2021 - 05.2022
- I was the project lead in charge of overseeing a full in-depth “mock” design of a family of launch vehicles that is capable of replacing the EELV launch system. This project was based on a Space Force RFP, where I was in charge of overseeing the creation of, mission designs, architecture candidates using CAD modeling software, cost analysis, and load analysis as well as helping in the implementation of maintenance, manufacturing, and redundancy checks. I also had the designated task of designing the inbound profile of our architecture candidates where I created a complete breakdown of all measurements of the launch vehicle and tested in CAD modeling. The project went through both the conceptual and detailed design phases where it was presented to a panel of judges from Northrop Grumman and The Aerospace Corporation. The conceptual design and detail design presentations were then used to write an industry standard technical report.
Ceres Mission Design - Mission Designer
Cal Poly Pomona
08.2020 - 12.2020
- I was the mission designer in charge of a project where my team was tasked with creating a trajectory to and from Ceres using both low and high impulse propulsion systems. The goal was to create two optimal trajectories through JPL’s “Mission Analysis Low-Thrust Optimizer” (MALTO) program as well as an additional trajectory that was dependent on planetary flybys. As the mission designer, I had to ensure the launch dates, burns, and flybys allowed for a 500 day stay time, including changes for multi-site sample pickup, and a trajectory for a return mission back to Earth’s atmosphere. The results of this project were then presented to and judged by a panel of engineers.
Boeing 787 CoDR & PDR - Team Lead
Cal Poly Pomona
06.2018 - 05.2019
- I was the team lead on a project where a complete systems engineering approach was used based on a set of customer system-level requirements for the Boeing 787 as well as derived requirements determined by my team to create a “mock” conceptual and preliminary design presentation for the Boeing 787.
Boeing 787 Shock Absorber Design
Cal Poly Pomona
03.2018 - 06.2018
- I used the Model Based Systems Engineering program; Amesim to develop shock absorbers for the Boeing 787 with key damping coefficients in a simulation that demonstrated a fully loaded and crosswind landing on a single set of landing gear.
F-22 Wind & Water Tunnel Testing - Team Lead
Cal Poly Pomona
01.2018 - 03.2018
- Team lead on a low-speed subsonic wind and water tunnel dye test of a scale F-22 model to determine chine and wing responses at various pitches and yaws in order to determine trends in coefficients of drag, lift, moment, and L/D. These results were then compiled to form an industry standard technical report.
