About

Seasoned senior hardware design engineer with day job at NASA working space flight projects. My specialty is machine design for robotic applications, specifically high force/torque density electric actuators. I am an expert in CAD design and GD&T, while also proficient in FEA. I am well rounded with deep understandings of software and electrical systems within robotics and design hardware that considers all three disciplines. I love 3D printing as a hobby and maintain printers at home, some purchased, some home built. Rapid iteration of a design using a 3D printer is a lot of fun for me.
