Each entry names the role it came from, a short summary, and the skills and tools it drew on. Skills link through to where else they've been applied.
Lucid Motors·Senior Engineer, CAE Tools Specialist
Ran full-vehicle CFD analyses on GPU-accelerated hardware, built automation tools, and improved post-processing scripts to unblock the CAE team.
Lucid Motors·Senior Engineer, CAE Tools Specialist
Created a multi-year HPC roadmap balancing budget, program needs, and evolving CAE workloads including AI-assisted approaches.
NASA·Research AST, Fluid Mechanics
Wrote Tcl/Tk and Python tooling for pre-processing, data handling, and repeatable workflows across aircraft and launch-vehicle programs. Delivered speedups up to 60x with lower error.
NASA·Research AST, Fluid Mechanics
Multi-year applied CFD campaign supporting the Transonic Truss-Braced Wing program, including validation, sensitivity studies, and workflow development.
SpaceX·Associate Engineer
Automated aero-structural optimization workflows interfacing with NX and ANSYS, reducing design cycle time by 20–200x, and set up fully coupled FSI simulations with deformation-robust structured grids.
EponaShoe·Mechanical Engineer
Converted design schematics into a robust, highly parametric SolidWorks model built to support fast, stable iteration.
Prototype Vehicles Laboratory·Lead Aerodynamicist / Team Organizer
Designed a modular wind-tunnel model for fast configuration changes, planned the test matrix, and validated CFD against tunnel results while mentoring teammates on meshing and solver setup.
Cal Poly Senior Aircraft Design·Aerodynamics and Performance Lead
Led aerodynamics and performance for a senior aircraft design project. Translated FAA regulations and RFP requirements into constraints, trade studies, CAD, and MATLAB sizing tools.
Formula SAE at Cal Poly·Aero Team Member
Contributed to aerodynamic package design and fabrication for the Cal Poly Formula SAE car, from CFD-driven concept to carbon fiber layup.
