- RESUME
WORK EXPERIENCE
01
Research Assistant
Southern Illinois University of Edwardsville (February 2023- August 2023)
As a Graduate Research Assistant, I contributed significantly to a Department of Defense NDEP ESPECS grant study focused on STEM education kits. I collaborated daily with a diverse team on technical aspects like microprocessors, programming (C, C++, Python), sensors, actuation, and mechanical hardware integration. A notable achievement was a MATLAB/Simulink simulation for rocket dynamics, achieving a 97 percent confidence rate. I used Python for scripting and thrust curve interpolation for consistent delta-t throughout the project.
02
Design Engineering Intern
Mach 33 Engineering
(May 2022- August 2022)
Led the development of a UVC water purifier for a Burundi non-profit, emphasizing innovative clean water solutions. Conducted extensive research on deep ultraviolet (UVC) light technology, designed a state-of-the-art water waveguide system, and ensured safety and efficacy through patent and literature research. Also, assumed leadership in mentoring interns on Sprinter van projects, managing tasks such as cable sizing, electrical harness design, circuit development, sliding plumbing systems, and overall assembly oversight. Applied HVAC system design expertise, especially for RVs, to improve project outcomes.
03
Teaching Assistant
