About
I’m an Integration & Test Specialist at SpaceX in Redmond, Washington, working on bus and payload sub-assemblies for Starlink satellites: production support, test-failure triage, and process improvement.
I studied mechanical engineering at Milwaukee School of Engineering, where I worked as an undergraduate research assistant on controls hardware, built the electronics for an ASME design competition robot, and led a high-power rocket team for the Wisconsin Space Grant Consortium competition.
Before SpaceX I was a Design Engineer I at Premier PV, designing wire harness systems for utility-scale solar projects and building internal engineering tools. I like getting into the weeds: debugging, troubleshooting, and figuring out how things work.
Highlights
- Integration and test for Starlink satellites: bus and payload sub-assemblies at SpaceX.2026–
- Active roll control for a high-power rocket, using a reaction wheel and a PID controller. Team lead.2020–2022
- Complete electronics system for a solar-powered robot: Arduino Nano control, Bluetooth, MOSFET and relay drive, electromagnet payload handling.2022–2023
- PCB, Simulink, and machine-vision research: replaced a breadboard prototype with a PCB and tuned Simulink models against sensor data.2022–2023
- Wire harness systems for utility-scale solar, from customer electrical drawings and CAD models through BOMs, drawings, and UL compliance.2024–2025
- String art generator: a Python program that approximates a photo with straight lines between nails on a circle.Code
