I am always in search of a new, challenging, fast-paced project I can get involved in. Below are some projects I have worked on in the past, that begin to reflect my experience and the skills I have implemented; you can also view my resume by clicking here.

Drive Unit Test Connector - Tesla, INC
The purpose of this project is to eliminate misalignment failures on the drive unit test connector and increase reliability. As a secondary goal, to better dissipate the heat created by the High Current tests.
Role: Full Design and Manufacturing
Status: Manufactured prototype
ATHLETE BLOOD SAMPLING - senior capstone
The purpose of this project is to develop a self-applied, wearable device that can collect and store a blood sample automatically. An easier and less intrusive way of collecting blood can be used for drug testing on professional athletes, or for athletes to collect samples during training.
Role: Lead on Release mechanism subsystem
Status: Functional Prototype
Seal Retention Re-Design - Tesla, INC
The purpose of this project was to increase the retention of the seals on the test connectors. This decreased downtime and decreased the number of false failures.
Role: Design, Testing, and Deployment
Status: Design implemented to production line
*Simplified and Redacted Graph
Thermal characterization study - tesla, INC
The purpose of this project was to perform a Root Cause Analysis on the lack of connectivity between test connectors and battery packs. After identifying the root of the problem to be thermal excess from the connector: perform a thermal study to determine whether any design changes need to be implemented.
Role: Full Analysis and re-Design
Status: Implemented limits on testing and changed material for improved capabilities
Project Karman - Fin can
The overarching goal of this project is to be the first university-level club to reach the Karman Line (~100 km), which technically marks the beginning of outer space. Specifically, I worked on the fin can for this two-stage rocket.
Role: Co-Design & Manufacturing of the fin can
Status: Two successful launches
Mass spectrometer inlet - new objective, inc
The goal of this project was to alter the basic mass spectrometer inlet in order to add heat control capabilities and 3-axis movement.
Role: Full Design & Manufacturing
Status: Low-volume production implementation
LiteBrite - Enabling engineering
The purpose of this project is to develop a cost-effective motor and cognitive therapy device to promote the user’s basic motor and cognitive skills. User can select between three recognition skills for the user to work on: auditory, color, and textual recognition.
Role: Design and Lead on Programming
Status: Delivered prototype for user testing
