Mechanical Engineer with experience in design, prototyping, assembly, and testing of industrial equipment, custom tooling, remote handling equipment, medical devices, hydraulic equipment, remote sensors, and prosthetic devices with broad hands-on experience in R&D, fabrication, and rapid prototyping to help drive practical engineered solutions for rapid deployment.

I am a mechanical design engineer with over 20 years of experience in developing, testing, and implementing technical product prototypes for various industries and applications. I currently work at TDA Research, a leading provider of innovative research and development solutions for the government and private sectors.

My core competencies include electro-mechanical design, 3D computer aided design (3D CAD), bill of materials (BOM) development, and strategic engineering calculations. I have a proven track record of designing and engineering final working prototypes of multiple compact water putrefaction systems, a lightweight air-cooled shirt for welders and wearers of bomb suits, and a potable low power autoclave. I have also utilized Solidworks, Mathcad, and other software and tools to create and modify CAD models, drawings, and complex assemblies, as well as to perform simulations and evaluations of mathematical models.

I am passionate about innovation and solving complex problems with creative and cost-effective solutions. I enjoy collaborating with multidisciplinary teams and clients to deliver high-quality products that meet or exceed their expectations and specifications. I am always eager to learn new skills and technologies, and to apply them to my current and future projects. My goal is to continue to grow as a mechanical design engineer and to contribute to the advancement of science and engineering.
