ObjectivesTo achieve a career in engineering, where I can apply knowledge and experience gained through my education and use my skills in problem solving, design, and research.

Jule Biotechnologies (June 2015 – April 2016) - http://Jule Inc - Biotechnology Position: Lab Technician/QAIn my first six months at Jule Biotechnologies, I spearheaded the development of a novel formulation for a protein separation gel that is now an integral part of Jule’s catalog of products. Ensured product quality through improvements in Jule’s QA program. Instituted significant changes in the manufacturing of Jule's products. Cut production time by 45% while maintaining, and in some cases improving,

product quality.

Joint Center for Earth Systems Technology (JCET) (March 2014 – December 2014)- http://jcet.umbc.edu/Position: Research Assistant I worked with the principal investigator, engineering team, and other research assistantsto aid in the construction and testing of several prototype imaging devices used to analyze atmospheric aerosols and cloud properties Ensured the reliability and survivability of the HARP satellite (Hyper Angular

Rainbow Polarimeter - http://HARP Project ) by characterizing prototype electronics boards in simulated radiation environments. My work centered on the verification of specifications of individual electronic components and analysis of their tolerance to radiation levels.

Working with the principal investigator, researcher and team of electrical and mechanical engineers at the NASA’s Colorado NCAR research aviation facility, I worked to install and align two prototype imaging systems (inboard & wing) aboard aLockheed P3 Orion aircraft. My participation in the project was to work on the instrument mount designs for attaching the systems to the aircraft, and supervise theequipment installation done by the aircraft mechanics. Once actually at the NCAR facility, I worked to maintain, trouble-shoot and operate the two instruments before, during and after the flights.

UMBC Theater Department (October 2012-January2014)Position: Master CarpenterWorking with the UMBC Theater Department on several theatrical productions, I createdstatic and dynamic backdrops, stage props and scenery, fabricating with both wood and metal. I also directed and assisted with the construction efforts of other student workers.

Burt Process Equipment (October 2010 – August 2011) - http://www.burtprocess.com/Position: Fabrication Assistant Assisted with plastic/metal fabrication and plumbing of water and chemical treatment

systems. Performed field installations and maintenance.
