My Resume
Objective
Organized, self-motivated, and enthusiastic dynamics engineer currently working on space vehicles at Northrop Grumman in Redondo Beach, CA. In possession of fantastic analytical, communication, listening, and leadership skills from being a project leader at UCSD, a lead tutor at Fullerton College’s on-campus math lab, and an engineer starting in the aerospace industry during the COVID-19 pandemic. Looking to transition into a more computer science heavy role and contribute to an innovative quick-paced team in regards to system design/development, optimization, analysis, and troubleshooting. Much experience on projects with heavy sensor-software overlap. Please, explore this site and see if I would be a good fit for your position!

Work History
Space Vehicle Engineer
Redondo Beach, CA
September 2020 – Current
- Used NASTRAN and FEMAP to run dynamics simulations and develop models for the James Webb Space Telescope
- Gathered data to be used by launch specialists during scheduled October 2020 launch
- Unix-based job scheduling experience and batch scripting
- Heavily automated tasks/calculations using MATLAB classes and methods that I developed on the job to interface with simulation results files

Summer Engineering Modeling and Analysis Intern
Remote due to COVID-19 Pandemic (EMAG)
June 2020 – September 2020
- Developed from scratch, tested, and validated an automated Java (computer vision/tracking) and Python (data analysis/visualization) code pipeline for use by engineers in the company to analyze large video datasets of microfluidic flows much more accurately and ~100x quicker than previous techniques allowed.
- Packaged the Python portion of the code into a HP proprietary Python class that allows for easy adaptation and advanced visualization of a wide range of current/future flow videos through high-level robust class methods and generation/saving/updating of class attributes in the background.
- Wrote an interactive Python tutorial and documentation for using the class. Left the internship with the codebase running on multiple engineers' computers. Helped devise a plan for future development/distribution/consolidation of results via an internal web app.
Computer Vision and Data Analysis Researcher
UCSD Medically Advanced Devices Laboratory
July 2019 – Current
- Wrote computer code using ImageJ macros and MATLAB to automatically analyze thousands of videos of ejected fluid droplets using machine vision.
- Compiled excel sheet of collected data to aid in developing underlying theory behind ultrasonic fluid droplet ejection.
- Devised a way to queue droplets automatically before being ejected for potential use in a new type of 3D printing technology.
The research setup my team used to capture videos of fluid droplet ejection at 5,000 fps.

Lead Math Tutor
Fullerton College Math Lab
January 2015 – June 2017
- Tutored around 40 students a day in all levels of math offered at the school.
- Was put in charge of the lab on a regular basis when supervisors were busy or on break/lunch.
- Was responsible for locking up the lab at night and administering/proctoring make-up tests to students.
