PROFESSIONAL INTERNSHIPS

HP Inc. Retail Solutions

R&D Engineering Intern - Spring, TX/Fort Collins, CO                                                                                        Jun 2019 - Jun 2020

  • Designed and built hardware for an automated testing machine to quantify and compare the specs of different types of barcode scanners, as well as to identify which set of parameters optimize their performance.

  • Co-lead a sustainability strategy for the Retail Solutions department to implement various sustainable features within HP retail products, such as increasing post-consumer recycled plastic and ocean bound plastic content.

  • Collaborated with multidisciplinary and cross-functional teams to formulate a more comprehensive sustainability proposal.

  • Refined and improved the locking mechanism design of a tablet charger to increase ease of manufacturability and meet standards for injection molding.

  • Currently prototyping a set of scale model parts using 3D printing technology to demonstrate to customers all possible configurations of a new point of sales system.

Materials Intern - Fort Collins, CO                                                                                                                      Sep 2018 - May 2019

  • Proposed and conducted a design of experiments to characterize the optimal angle that 3D parts should be oriented at when using the HP Multi Jet Fusion 3D printer to maximize material properties.

  • Utilized field emission electron microscope and differential scanning calorimetry technology to evaluate the composition of different 3D printed parts.

  • Analyzed the design of a folding plate using topology optimization techniques, reducing its weight by over 35%.

R&D Engineering Intern - Houston, TX                                                                                                               Jun 2018 - Aug 2018

  • Designed and built hardware for a new automated life cycle testing machine, engineered to more accurately simulate the docking process of a mobile retail device.

  • Modeled all parts in Solidworks and utilized HP Multi Jet Fusion 3D printing technology for rapid prototyping.

  • Executed the implementation and creation of life-cycle testing machine, which provided a more accurate representation of the lifetime of the product and saved over $30,000 per testing fixture.

  • Developed a white paper about an HP retail solution, later used by technical consultants and sales representatives.

Medtronic

Manufacturing Intern - Boulder, CO                                                                                                                     Dec 2017 - Jan 2018

  • Engaged in Class 100,000 clean-room operations to support assembly and production of electrosurgical pencils.

  • Mastered higher-level skill set of manufacturing procedures, equipment, and quality assurance needed to deliver high quality surgical products.

PROJECTS

Transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation Electrodes (Senior Capstone)

Lead CAD Designer - Fort Collins, CO                                                                                                                 Jul 2019 - May 2020

  • Developed novel electrodes to record EEG signals / administer alternating current stimulation, which earned third place out of all  2020 Biomedical Engineering Senior Design Projects.

  • Created the conceptual and detailed design of 2 in 1 electrodes and fabricated CAD models of molds to aid in cheap and rapid manufacturing methods and aided in the material development of a conductive silicone.

  • Took on the organizational responsibilities of the project, which included updating the BOM and parts list, managing the budget, coordinating meeting minutes, and recording meeting minutes.

Twin Screw Supercharger Model

Team Lead - Fort Collins, CO                                                                                                                              Jan 2020 - May 2020

  • Lead a team of eight students to successfully produce a scaled down CAD model of a twin screw supercharger to be used for demonstrational purposes. Oversaw all aspects of the project, including the 3D design, drawings, renders, and presentation.

  • Considered design for additive manufacturing (DfAM) to aid in the modeling of the supercharger and designed accompanying parts to increase the functionality of the model, making it more representative of how a true twin screw supercharger works.

Pinball Machine

Team Member - Fort Collins, CO                                                                                                                        Jan 2019 - May 2019

  • Designed and built a fully functioning pinball machine with three fellow engineering students and placed in the Top 5 Projects in the class.

  • Wired and coded various electronics featured in the project, including the LED lights, pop bumpers, flippers, speakers, and the coin sensor using a PIC and several Arduinos.

  • Modeled and 3D printed all the components on the playing field, increasing the complexity and playability of the game.

Soccer Playing RC Car

Project Lead - Fort Collins, CO                                                                                                                            Mar 2018 - Apr 2018

  • Constructed a remote-controlled car with three fellow engineering students to compete in a robotics competition through the implementation of an Arduino and Bluetooth remote, earning first place in the tournament.
