Design and Test Engineer

Creative & Design

Creative and highly driven Design and Mechanical Engineer with an analytical and creative mindset and a passion for developing products that solve real-world problems. Well rounded with skills in conceptualization, technical drawing, design, and hands-on engineering. A collaborative team player with a history of partnering with businesses on projects spanning human factors, biomedical, sports and aerospace technologies. Organized with strong written and verbal communication skills.

Vulcan Technical is my startup company. We are a small scale engineering products company. Primarily we build custom, steel hardtail mountain bikes to exacting ergonomic standards. Each bike is hand built using proprietary algorithms to fit the anatomical measurements of each rider. In addition frames can be optioned to include proprietary, failure resistant, travel junctions that have been developed and tested in house. Additionally, we are working to design a "Soft Stop" retractable dog leash. 

Mechanical and electromechanical engineering work on several proprietary projects as a lead mechanical engineer.  I was also part of a design team that integrated mechanical, electrical and software components. I designed, fabricated and tested electrical and mechanical components and worked with textiles and mechanical hardware.

Mechanical Engineer/ Intern

Worked to design and build test hardware for the research that became my master's thesis. I also developed and implemented novel data capture and analysis systems that were used in the research. In my time as a research contractor I completed 5 research projects examining the interface forces between a rider and their bike as well as examining the external weight distribution of both professional and amateur riders. This information was used to improve current product lines as well as generate new ones.

Independent Research Contractor

Worked for Fay Engineering for two consecutive summers as a technical intern to assist with forensic accident reconstruction. 

•	Tire track analysis
•	Developed courtroom presentation materials 
•	Completed scale model generator coding
•	Articulated debris field reconstruction
