Stuff to include

Design process improvement. I wasn't satisfied with current modeling techniques, so in late 2012 along with a colleague we investigated and implemented a new piece of visualization software that allowed us to iterate faster. I taught myself how to use it, and since then I have created graphics that have been put on the cover of government proposals for aircraft that I have designed, used in executive presentations, and used to send to the 3D printer. Now I teach a weekly class so that my colleagues can also benefit from this technology, and am the go-to guy when people want to turn their undeveloped idea into something stunning.

Rapid prototyping - Experience using a Dimension 1200 3D printer and prepping 3D files for print.  Self-learned tricks of the trade to avoid unattractive prints and wasting material unnecessarily.

Human Powered Vehicle Competition - 2010-2011

For my senior design project I decided to launch the first team out of my school to compete in the ASME Human Powered Vehicle Challenge. I rallied the support of 5 senior engineering classmates and 2 underclassmen engineers, and gathered sponsorships where possible both to fund materials as well as receive personal training to ensure peak rider performance. I designed the fairing, which never made it to full fabrication due to budgetary constraints, learned about drivetrain design, and tested our frame through both virtual and practical strength testing. The race, located in Indianapolis Motor Speedway, resulted in a finish of 4th Place Overall in the Speed Class, along with 2nd place for our design report and 3rd place for the men's sprint event. Considering our experience, I believe we ended up with a well-tested vehicle that struck a good balance between performance, cost, and manufacturability.

Design Build Fly

  -Tight deadlines, minimal budget, underclassmen mostly, first collaborative team (two schools=one team) ever in DBF, management and aircraft design/build experience

Internships

Technical/Design Skills

Aircraft Design Experience - many different clean sheet configurations (rotorcraft, tilt things, and fixed wing), ran teams, won contracts)

Software? - CATIA V5, SolidWorks 2008-2012, modo 601, MATLAB, MathCad, Canvas, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Lightroom, ANSYS FEA, Fluent CFD, meshlab, Microsoft Office, Microsoft Exchange. Platform Experience: Windows 95 through 7. Apple OS 9 through 10.8. iOS and Android.

 CATIA V5 - Extensive experience creating complex 3D geometry of clean-sheet aircraft primarily working in Generative Shape Design and large Products. Functional knowledge of Mechanical Part Design, Freestyle Workbench, and Imagine and Shape Workbench.

SolidWorks  - Part and Product design experience from versions 2007 to 2012. Experience using kinematic modelling, FEA, and CFD analysis to create and validate my designs.
