Experience
Cal Poly CubeSat Lab (PolySAT/CPCL)
Aerospace Engineer
As an engineer at one of the most exciting clubs on campus, I had the pleasure of working with a large group of talented and passionate students on actual spacecraft that are or will eventually make their way into space. This invaluable process granted me the ability to work in an environment more similar to the aerospace industry than any other class by providing real deadlines, stakeholders, and money involved on an engineering project.
Systems Engineering - Requirements, schedules, and feasibility reports for CSLI proposals for Aerodynamic De-orbit Experiment (ADE)
ADCS - Python and MATLAB coding for a complimentary filter for PowerSAT
Research - Ongoing self research for continuing the"Pocket Rocket" project, a 1U+ electrothermal propulsion module designed to be built in house for our cube satellites, following the thesis of former student James Harper and headed by former professor Dr. Amelia Greig.
Managing Director of Young Enterprise Company
As a pre-college activity, my involvement in this extracurricular provided me with leadership and communication skills in a business like structure. As a managing director of a group of 14 students running a video game and merchandise company, we were able to raise enough money (200 GBP) to donate to a student charity in London.
Video game development - Coding in C#, animations in Blender
Writing business reports and strategies
Management of students that includes holding meetings, tracking progress delegating appropriate tasks, resolving conflicts.
Presentation of ideas to large groups of other companies and critics
Warehouse Employee
As a summer job working for a seafood company, this minimum wage job taught me to cooperate with other workers including some with language barriers, in a dangerous work environment where injuries can regularly occur.
Clear communication with other workers
Emptying 18-wheelers full of heavy loads up to 50 lbs.
Learning box stacking configurations based on weight and size to maximize stability of a stack.
Operation of mini forklift machinery
