About

I am a mechanical engineer with over 8 years of experience in 3D modeling, 2D drafting, and design. I graduated from the University of Central Florida in 2015 with a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering. My technical expertise includes GD&T, creating detailed 2D drawings compliant with ASME Y14 standards, and developing precise 3D models using tools like SolidWorks, CREO, Onshape, and NX.

Throughout my career, I have been fortunate to work on several high-profile projects in the aerospace and defense industries. At Boeing, I contributed to the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket, supporting mission-critical design and development processes that are paving the way for future space exploration. My tenure at Lockheed Martin included work on the Apache helicopter program, where I focused on improving precision, reliability, and functionality within its Target Acquisition System.

At L3Harris, I was involved in the development of the Roman Space Telescope and other satellite programs. My role demanded a keen understanding of the stringent requirements of space systems, ensuring all designs met exacting standards for functionality and durability. Most recently, I supported Blue Origin’s New Glenn rocket, working on the launch tower development and incorporating fall protection measures for construction and assembly teams. These projects reflect my ability to tackle complex challenges and deliver designs that meet both technical and safety standards.

In addition to my professional experience, I have a strong passion for 3D printing and additive manufacturing technologies. This interest complements my engineering expertise, enabling me to prototype, test, and iterate designs efficiently. Whether creating custom components, reverse engineering parts, or exploring innovative solutions, I bring a hands-on approach that bridges the gap between concept and production.

My experience and skills are not confined to aerospace and defense; I am equally adept at tackling mechanical engineering challenges across a variety of industries. From product development and manufacturing support to systems integration and testing, I have the tools, knowledge, and mindset to deliver exceptional results. I take pride in my attention to detail, commitment to quality, and ability to work collaboratively with cross-functional teams to achieve project objectives.

If you’re seeking a versatile and results-driven mechanical engineer, I am confident in my ability to bring value to your project. My expertise, coupled with a passion for engineering and innovation, ensures that I can get the job done—whatever the challenge.
