About Me

Mechanical Engineer who is focused on product development and innovation. I have experience taking products and projects through the entire product development cycle; from end user needs, to prototypes, engineering analysis, testing, and both high and low volume manufacturing. I am a proud alumni of the University of Maryland's A. James Clark School of Engineering, University Honors Program, and the Quality Enhancement Systems and Teams Honors Program (QUEST). I have a passion for building things, tinkering, voiding warranties and taking things apart.

Education

University of Maryland, College Park

B.S. in Mechanical Engineering • May 2019 // GPA 3.79

Work

Stanley Black and Decker

Senior Mechanical Engineer • June 2019 - May 2024

Thoughout my 5 years at Stanley Black and Decker, I was able to work on all facets of the product development process for DeWalt Power Tools, specifically Drills and Dust Extractors. I performed design and finite element analysis (FEA) using CATIA V5. Then, I was able to translate these precision engineered designs into functional prototypes utilizing 3D printing and other rapid prototyping methods. These prototypes were taken to construction sites where end users provided feedback and we were able to iterate on our designs to ensure product viability. I also managed the bill of materials throughout projects and worked with both domestic and foreign suppliers to ensure design for manufacturing and assembly. Throughout these processes, I kept a major focus on innovation. I have received one patent for my designs with two more patents in process.

Stanley Black and Decker

Mechanical Engineering Intern, Portable Woodworking • June 2018 - Aug. 2018

I worked on 3 major projects during my internship at Stanley Black and Decker. First I worked on a project reducing vibration for the DeWALT Cordless Random Orbital Sander (DCW210) by analyzing components that contribute to vibration and resizing the counterweight system. Next, I Provided CAD designs and prototypes utilizing user input for a locking mechanism on an upcoming product. Finally, I performed compliance review, runtime testing and material removal and dust collection testing for marketing claims on the Cordless Random Orbital Sander, Cordess Jigsaw (DCS334), and Cordless Router (DCW600).

Middle River Aircraft Systems (MRAS)

Process Consultant • Jan. 2018 - May 2018

Middle River Aircraft Systems (MRAS) is a subsidiary of GE Aviation and one of the world’s leading suppliers of jet engine nacelles (engine housings) and thrust reversers (jet brakes) for both General Electric and Pratt & Whitney engines. They were looking to ramp up production in the Airbus A320 program and in order to accomplish this task, production bottlenecks must be minimized. My team and I were tasked to support MRAS in meeting the demands of an increased production schedule by optimizing part flow from the stockroom to assembly area in the A320 program. Check out our final recommendation presentation.

EN Engineering

Project Engineer, Gas Distribution • May 2017 - Aug. 2017

I assisted project engineers in day to day tasks with natural gas pipeline and facility design for Baltimore Gas and Electric and Washington Gas Light Company. Personally, I designed, processed and performed engineering feasibility reviews for gas conversions and abandonments. Check out my Intern Presentation

iMakr Store

Intern • January 2016

At the largest 3D printing retailer on the East Coast, I performed maintenance on 3D printers, printed 3D objects for customers and helped sell accessories on the retail side.

Skills

Through my various experiences and projects, I have gained skills in many programs like SolidWorks, CATIA, PTC Creo, Autodesk Inventor, MATLAB, Python (pandas), Meshmixer, and the Microsoft Office Suite,. In addition, through my interest in product development, I have learned a great deal of new product development tools and skills like 3D Printing/Rapid Prototyping, Design Failure Mode & Effect Analysis (DFMEA), Design for Manufacturing Methods (Injection Molding, Machining, Stamping, Casting, Forging), Stack-Up Analysis, Lean Six Sigma, Kaizen Methodologies, House of Quality, DMAIC and DMEDI, Multi-Attribute Utility Analysis, Fisbone/Ishikawa Diagram, Why Ladder Diagram and Garvin's 8 Dimensions of Quality.
