B.S. Applied Physics

Career Path: 

Currently working as a Test and Evaluation Systems Engineer at Spectrolab, a wholly owned subsidiary of Boeing, where we design and manufacture industry leading solar cells and solar panel arrays featured on satellites and as well as the ones on the ISS. There I design test systems and software that perform electrical characterization of our solar products at the bare cell level.

Prior to that I worked as a Characterization Engineer at Luxima Technology, where I helped conduct optical and electrical characterization on high speed CMOS sensors for use in industrial, medical, and entertainment industries.

Currently doing some self paced study into robotic process automation as well as software automation to help broaden my toolset to improve my ability to provide robust and efficiency solutions at work.

Career Experience: 
Semiconductors (image sensors/solar cells). Electrical and Optical Simulation, software development, optical simulation, and rest system design.
Personal Interests: 
Outside of that, I am currently training up to run a half marathon and rediscovering my love for music. I currently play the guitar and have done so for the last 16 years, and have experience with the flute, trumpet, and piccolo.
Additionally I enjoy playing board games as well.
