PROFESSIONAL PROFILE * Senior-level engineering analysis experience performing structural, response/vibration, dynamics, fracture and fatigue, and pressure vessel blast and fragmentation analysis in the aerospace industry * Expertise in technical theory of mechanical engineering areas such as structural and dynamic analysis, fracture mechanics, material science, structural analysis methods as well as design for manufacturing * Experience in practical fundamentals such as manufacturing processes, product design and development, mechanical design, lifecycle testing and mass production techniques that reduce costs of goods while maintaining high levels of quality and reliability * Background in product development for medical devices, particularly in the areas of assistive technology and wheelchair mobility. Experience includes mechanical design, design for manufacturing and assembly, product durability testing and clinical trial study development. * Experience leading teams and projects through design cycles with a strong emphasis on team-based processes that promote collaboration through brainstorming sessions and peer reviews Type of services I can provide: • Structural/stress analysis of components/structures/systems using both linear and nonlinear analysis (using both FEA and analytical methods) to assess the structural integrity and/or provide redesign and optimization options • Dynamic analysis of systems (rigid body motion) to assess functionality, derive loads or calculate kinetic or kinematics of the system. • Lifecycle analysis including fatigue and fracture analysis (using FEA, NASGRO and analytical methods) of systems or components including both high cycle and low cycle fatigue, development of loads and load cycles as well as mitigation strategies • Structural dynamics analysis (using the FEA and analytical methods) including vibration and modal response of components and systems • Mechanical design and development of systems or components to meet functionality and structural integrity requirements • Development of custom analytical tools using Python, Excel or Visual Basic/Excel to meet the needs of the user whether that be a method for reanalyzing system for basic changes in configuration and/or loading, for calculating more complex scenarios and systems or for processing data from testing.

I have over 10 years of experience as a Mechanical Engineer, within both the government and commercial sectors. I hold both a Bachelor's and a Master’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Central Florida (Class of 2008 and 2015 respectively), where I was a member of the American Institute for Aeronautics and Astronautics, as well as the president of the UCF student chapter of the Society of Automotive Engineers. My experience spans many creative and complex projects ranging from automobile braking systems to deployable space antennas. I have extensive experience in conceptualizing, designing, and manufacturing of ruggedized designs for use in sub-sea robotics systems as well as COTS electronics for use in extreme environments. I have succeeded in many designs from concept through small scale manufacturing, both for corporations as well as my own business. My sub-sea design work includes the mechanical design of a marine robotics system that provides for a reconfigurable electronics payload, as well as a universal manipulator mounting system. I have also recently developed a marine buoy which included the design and manufacture of sealed pressure vessels. I currently am developing a line of underwater LED lights which I am in the process of taking from prototype to production. These lights are designed to be rugged and work in the harsh marine environment with essentially zero maintenance. I have previously designed and manufactured a line of license plate mounting brackets for various motorcycles. My Engineering interests are based around the marine and automotive fields, as well as aerospace and consumer goods.
