Reviews engineering drawings and performs stress analyses for structural integrity and compliance with FAA regulations to create luxury aircraft interior completions for VIPs and Heads of State.
Formerly Zero-G Horizons Technologies, LLC Leaded, managed, and executed R&D projects in project planning, proposal writing, budgeting, concept design, systems design, rapid prototyping, modeling & simulation, optimization, programing, product development, systems integration, testing & evaluation. Awarded US Navy STTR/SBIR Phase I and II projects as a Principal Investigator (PI) for GECCO remotely operated vehicle (ROV) deployed underwater attachment robotic system development for unmanned naval explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) operations. Actively engaged in structural & mechanisms system design and analyses, embedded microcontroller programing, systems integrations, and testing including full system vibration, EMI, and thermal tests at Kennedy Space Center for a SOARS artificial gravity fluid control NASA SBIR Phase I & II projects to deliver Blue Origin suborbital flight and International Space Station microgravity experiment payloads. Developed frontend and backend of CoralTech coral restoration technology database for Coral Restoration Consortium and NOAA.
Taught an engineering graphical communication CATIA class and researched controlled cavitation biofouling removal technology.
Performed maintenance, dispatched maintenance schedule, and managed maintenance records of KUH-1 helicopters. Developed lean, productive, and time-saving maintenance record management codes, and a simple HUMS code decoder. Concurrently worked as a barrack life and career counselor for enlisted men for extended periods due to excellent counseling.
Dramatically reduced computational cost by inventing an efficient multi-level decoupled optimization method that converges over 40% faster and finds over 20% better optimums in average with smoother shape and more better alternative designs. Saved 14.4% of the levelized cost of energy by developing the concept design of an off-shore 2-bladed downwind wind turbine considering environmental loading according to the IEC and DNV GL standards for US Department of Energy. Improved productivity of wind turbine simulations at least 50 times more by developing efficient and systemic automated wind turbine simulation management, postprocessing, and simple stress analysis codes. Successfully reverse engineered to rebuild CAD model design and composite laminate layups of a wind turbine blade.
