Note: The purpose of this portfolio is to provide a narrative-style account of my projects. If you are looking for succinct bullet points, please refer to my linkedin or email me for a copy of my resume.

Solar Sail

Founded SEDS Solar Sail to launch the first student-led solar sail mission into space. Leading team to conduct mission design and R&D of a novel sail deployment system using shape memory alloys.

Current Projects

SEDS

Current Project Coordinator / Former VP leading a burgeoning organization for all who love space. Increased membership fivefold, planned/executed events, and built/ran multiple design teams.

Vestigo

Designed a wearable UWB/IMU device to track real-time location & orientation of analog astronauts at NASA JSC. TSGC Design Challenge Winners.

NASA Internship

My first internship. Produced MBSE tutorials teaching NASA engineers how to create ConOps & Requirements diagrams in MagicDraw.

Project Icarus

Developed a website on the Parker Solar Probe, with visualizations of its instrument data. A lot of Python, JavaScript, HTML, & CSS.

Sick

My first engineering project. Created a prototype forklift safety system using LiDAR/IMU data to prevent tip-overs and collisions. Even filmed a nice little product video for it.

Past Projects

LASR

Research project prototyping a deployable, 5DOF robotic arm for an on-orbit satellite servicing module. Worked on electronics hardware selection, mechanical design, and robotic motion planning.

FOODS

Optimized the geometry of a plastic fork for biodegradability. Worked on finite element analysis (FEA), running optimization algorithms, 3D printing, and testing (breaking forks for science).

NASA Lunabotics

Led end-to-end design, build, & test of a lunar construction robot, achieving successful competition run in our first year. Won the Nova Award for Stellar Systems Engineering by a First Year Team

Axiom Space Internship

Designed & conducted manned, pressurized spacesuit tests for qualification testing. Led software requirements development for spacesuit heart rate monitor.

Aqua Viva

Formed and led an international team to fight water scarcity in the Gambia by using machine learning and satellite data to estimate groundwater level. Best Overall in the NASA Pale Blue Dot Challenge.
