For my primary design project, I designed a custom titanium jewelers saw using topology optimization to make it lightweight but stiff. The saw frame was printed using DMLS, while various handle designs were made using SLA, FDM, and resin casting. For more details on the project please click the yellow button above.

I designed a small plumeria (tropical flower) pendant to be printed out of titanium using the lab's SLM 280 DMLS printer. The plumeria was additionally tetrashelled to reduce internal stresses during the printing process.

At Boeing, I worked as an Integrated Aerostructures and Advanced Metal Structures Equipment Engineering Intern in Auburn Washington. Equipment Engineers are responsible for providing solutions to help maintain, modify, and acquire new equipment/machines. During my internship, I got assigned multiple safety and maintenance related issues with various machines.

This role consisted of a lot of project management. I led cross-functional meetings between other engineers, operators, fabricators, maintenance staff, and safety focals to learn about issues with the machines. Additionally, I worked on researching potential solutions, contacting outside suppliers, and writing reports on my findings and recommendations to solving the issues. 

Along with my projects, I took advantage of Boeing's intern events. I attended dozens of different tours, classes, and interviewed multiple different engineers and managers. I saw firsthand the different manufacturing and assembly processes used throughout Boeing's various Washington sites. Additionally, I got to see how Boeing utilizes different forms of additive manufacturing and even learned about smart materials.
