Position: Research and Development Engineer
Vast is developing artificial gravity space stations with a focus on staving off the permanent biological damage that come from long-term microgravity missions. Ultimately providing the base design requirements of all future spacecraft.
Position: Propulsion Test Lead & Data Acquisition Programmer
Frontier Aerospace Corporation provides custom in-space propulsion solutions, specifically hypergolic, that operate with precision and reliability that is required in deep space.
Position: Automated Driving Design Responsible Engineer
Canoo is a Electric Vehicle startup focused on making smart and cost effective decisions. Such as the first drive-by-wire system.
I was the responsible engineer for cameras, radars, and ultrasonics on the Lifestyle Vehicle.
Position: Test Engineer
Arrivo was a new transportation startup that aimed to increase throughput of freeway lanes by use of active magnetic levitation and smart platooning.
I was part of the R&D team developing the new motor. We built test fixtures and demonstrated their ability to work at various technology expos.
TALUS LOW-G ANCHORING SYSTEM
ESA's Rosetta Mission was a huge success in term of the capability of unmanned exploration. Rosetta was able to orbit and recover an enourmous amount of data from the comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko. Unfortunately the Philae Lander that was tasked to land on the comet could not successfully anchor due to thruster failure.
Our goal is to redesign the Philae's anchoring system so that even with thruster failure, the probe would be able to land. This system uses an active rooting system that expels wire outwards to increase the anchor's footprint.
Position: Vice President & Integration Lead
Hornet Hyperloop is an engineering club at California State University, designed and built a pod that competed in the second iteration of the SpaceX Hyperloop Pod Competition.
Position: Manufacturing Lead
rLoop was a competitor in the SpaceX's Hyperloop Pod Competition in Hawthorne, CA. They were also awarded the SpaceX Innovation Award in the first year's competition. They are now a global team tackling various engineering problems.
Position: Outpost Director
Camp Wolfeboro is ideally located in the high Sierra Nevada Mountains on the shores of the Stanislaus River. Add to that a senior staff with years of staff experiences and the quality young people that have become a junior staff and you get an unbeatable Scouting experience.
Various Positions Held
Small stints of work throughout highschool and college. Nothing special or life changing, but enough to get me by and make some good friends along the way.
