Professional Experience

Project Engineer, Advanced Operations Global Engineering Development Program – Stryker (September 2024 – Present)
Rotating across Advanced Operations, R&D, and Upstream Marketing in the Trauma & Extremities division, contributing to orthopedic product development, manufacturing process development, and commercialization.

• Led a cross-functional root-cause investigation into a critical manufacturing issue, coordinating analysis across manufacturing, quality, biocompatibility, and regulatory teams to support corrective actions and reduce scrap by over 30%.
• Designed, prototyped, and evaluated orthopedic implants and surgical instruments through 5+ rounds of laboratory and cadaveric testing, assessing product performance and usability.
• Led supplier and manufacturing process development for additively manufactured and injection-molded components, including design for manufacturability (DFM), prototyping, cleaning process development, and design transfer to a new supplier.
• Supported product strategy and commercialization through Voice of Customer/Voice of Sales analysis, survey development, pre-commercial planning, and operative-technique creation.
• Developed digital workflow tools, including a purchase-order request application with KPI tracking, an AI-powered Voice of Customer analyzer, and an automated drawing management tool.

Robotics Engineering Intern – Oishii (May 2022 – August 2024)
Designed and developed mechanical, electrical, and embedded systems for agricultural robotics and automated pollination systems.

• Designed, assembled, and tested the mechanical, electrical, and embedded systems for a custom robot and robotic beehives.
• Reduced robotic system assembly time by 98% through a redesign applying Design for Assembly (DFA) principles.
• Developed a new electrical architecture incorporating custom PCBs and a DC power distribution system.
• Developed and deployed embedded firmware using Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and Balena for remotely deployed robotic systems.
• Sourced components and managed two contractors through the assembly of 100+ robotic beehives for a new vertical farm.

Continuous Improvement Intern – Stryker (May 2023 – August 2023)
Developed digital manufacturing tools and implemented process improvements to increase production visibility, efficiency, and throughput.

• Conceived and implemented a custom digital throughput and cycle-time tracking solution to enhance production-line visibility.
• Realized annual savings of over $300,000 through process enhancements within a single manufacturing cell.
• Spearheaded two KATA projects to identify and remedy critical capacity bottlenecks, resulting in a 30% increase in throughput.

Project Experience

Mars Rover Wheel – Senior Design Technical Lead (2023 – 2024)
Led the design and development of a terrain-specific rover wheel for the international University Rover Challenge, coordinating engineering tasks across disciplines.

COVID-19 PPE Manufacturing – Project Lead (April 2020 – August 2020)
Designed and prototyped a low-cost, manufacturable face shield to address PPE shortages among frontline healthcare personnel. Led material sourcing, team coordination, budgeting, and stakeholder communication to deliver over 700 face shields.

Leadership & Mentorship

Binghamton University Mars Rover – Chief Mechanical Engineer (April 2023 – June 2024)
Led an 80+ member multidisciplinary team in designing and building a Mars rover for the international University Rover Challenge.

• Directed six sub-team leads and coordinated rover-level design across mechanical, electrical, and controls teams.
• Oversaw team business operations, including finance, sponsorships, and marketing, raising over $60,000 in sponsorships.
• Placed 23rd internationally among 150+ competing universities.

Binghamton University Mars Rover – Mechanical Team Member/Lead (September 2020 – June 2023)
Led mechanical subsystem development and helped establish team-wide engineering practices.

• Planned and led weekly CAD design reviews using Fusion 360 to develop solutions for the rover's robotic arm.
• Established mechanical policies and best practices and created a mechanical onboarding program that trained 20+ new mechanical engineers.
• Designed custom 400:1 reduction cycloidal gearboxes and participated in design reviews with team leadership and technicians.

Frisch Robotics Program – Coach (October 2024 – Present)
Mentor high school students in FIRST Robotics, providing technical guidance in robot design, engineering, and problem-solving. Support curriculum development, instruction, budgeting, and program administration.

Binghamton University Mars Rover – Advisor (June 2024 – Present)
Advise the team's executive board on mechanical engineering, rover design, project management, and team administration.
