annual cycle and labor time reduction goals.
• Implemented new compilation process of 2148-image datasets using MatLab to assist with defect
inspection and reduced total cycle time by over 50%.
• Assisted Production Engineers with ad-hoc data analyses to support decision making.
May '18 - April '20
Strategic Sourcing Initiative
• Lead engineer responsible for the validation and implementation of over 500 newly-sourced steel,
hydraulic, and electrical components covering 3 major product lines, contributing to the
realization upwards of $4M in cost savings.
• Took initiative to manage project timelines across 5 facilities as the Global Pump Validation
Lead and minimized duplication of work and unnecessary allocation of resources, thereby
implementing new products ahead of schedule and resulting in an additional upwards of $100K
in cost savings.
• Supported implementation of lean business practices through production life cycle and
supply chain.
Data Analytics & Process Improvements
• Designed model to predict price of new parts using several disparate data sets across
engineering
and global supply chain, increasing price prediction accuracy from 70% to 94%.
• Created an automated machine weight data entry, cleaning, analysis, and storage pipeline based
on customer feedback, ensuring quality of assembled machines and serial label information,
and improving brand perception.
• Developed and implemented a web-based tool (Flask) that queries BOM data directly from ERP
and presents differences in a user-friendly and exportable format, reducing task time by 100%.
• Created Python scripts to automate SQL queries, report generation, and file transfers to
reduce SG&A.
September '16 - March '18
• Managed a 6-member team and project timelines, with a 3rd place overall finish at
national competition.
• Executed top-level design decisions around the electric drivetrain system such as
purchasing,
packaging, and manufacturing.
• Justified optimal gear reduction of the car based on simulation results of the
competition drive course.
• Established sponsor relations with local businesses and received over $10K in
value of services and donations.
• Redesigned and manufactured eCar motor mounts and gearbox mounts to
improve packaging, and serviceability.

• Wrote a MatLab script that utilizes Classical Laminate Theory to predict laminate and
sandwich panel deflection under 3-point bend loading to within 10% of testing results
• Conducted tests to prove structural equivalency of the box while decreasing overall weight
by 13% from previous aluminium design
Mechanical Design
Improvements from T28:
• In-line motor and gearbox mounting with increased overall stiffness, ensuring concentricity of power transfer components.
• New mounting design also allowed for ease of installation and service. Previous design had poor chassis jigging and also required heavy motors to be removed if gearboxes needed to be serviced.
• Outboard gearboxes not only allowed for better serviceability but also for a smaller and lighter chassis and more aggressive undertray.
• Long lead time out-of-house processes was required for half-shafts but delays were minimized by avoiding major redesigns.
• Validation of CV boot material was done through tensile tests. Correct selection of material resulted in better lubricant retention during drives.
