Experience

Tidal Flight – VA based hybrid electric seaplane startup

• Designed and fabricated robust interactive teaching tools with embedded microprocessors and sensors, simplifying Beta’s all-electric aircraft innovations into user-friendly learning experiences
• Designed and fabricated a full-scale, investor- and customer-facing flight simulator with a fully integrated cockpit, using NX, CAM, ShopBot CNC, large format 3D printing, and custom PCB-driven controls; engineered structural support for a 6-person occupied load and conducted human-factors analysis per FAA guidelines.
• Stood up a fully operational workshop and office space from an empty hangar within 2 months of joining.
• Assisted the team at scale-model flight testing for government CRADA missions, producing process and experience documentation.
• Produced 40+ refined scale models of Beta’s products in 6 weeks for the CEO use in technical advising and shareholder meetings

Beta Technologies – Vermont based electric aircraft manufacturer

• Started as Rapid Prototyping & Additive Manufacturing Intern, managing a fleet of 18 3D printers and laser cutters (Prusa, Bambu, Markforged, ULS, Trotec), sustaining 24-hour production and 30+ daily prints while optimizing design workflows and material documentation for engineering teams.
• Promoted to Team Lead of 5 engineers; engineered and fabricated interactive exhibits integrating microcontrollers, sensors, and custom hardware with retired aircraft components (SolidWorks, Onshape, Arduino) to explain Beta’s all-electric aircraft systems to students, executives, and community partners.
• Presented exhibits to the board of directors and 10,000+ students; delivered weekly updates in company-wide meetings to 500+ employees.
• Produced 48 unique polished scale models in 6 weeks for executive briefings and shareholder meetings using 3D printing, laser cutting, CNC, vacuum forming, and packaging design.
• Implemented Jira ticketing and Confluence documentation workflows, streamlining fabrication requests and increasing cross-team transparency company-wide.

MIT Media Lab – Fluid Interfaces Group

• Designed and fabricated 6 museum-quality installations exploring brain-computer interface technology for international exhibition
• Guided 300+ visitors through technical exhibitions over 6 days at the DA-Z International Art Festival
• Mentored 4 prop designers in advanced prototyping techniques and material selection
• Developed and tested novel fabrication methods for complex prototype development

Volunteering & Teaching

MIT Beaverworks Summer Institute

• Delivered a 4-week immersive course on e-textiles and wearable technology, emphasizing hands-on learning, rapid prototyping, and cross-disciplinary design to 22 high school students. 
• Taught foundational skills in electronic prototyping with Arduino and small-scale textile manufacturing using knitting, weaving, and sewing machines.
• Guided students through novel wearable sensor creation using materials like conductive threads, yarns, and fabrics using e-sewing techniques and textile manufacturing machines.
• Mentored students through full design cycles—from ideation and technical exploration to final presentation—resulting in functional wearable prototypes solving real-world problems.
