[RESUME]

MISSION: Design and deploy precision microfluidics control system for advanced materials research.

• ▸Engineered closed-loop deposition system achieving ±10-micron precision using Arduino (C++) and custom Python state machine
• ▸Developed PyQT5 GUI for real-time control, error correction, and automated calibration protocols
• ▸Implemented computer vision pipeline with OpenCV (CLAHE enhancement, edge detection) to identify 200μm channels

MISSION: Knowledge transfer and technical training in thermal systems engineering.

• ▸Conducted technical briefings on fluid mechanics, heat transfer, and thermodynamics principles
• ▸Evaluated and provided tactical feedback on engineering problem sets and assignments
• ▸Maintained consistent assessment standards across all cadet submissions

MISSION: Develop and validate lunar habitat systems for extraterrestrial deployment.

• ▸Co-authored winning $150,000 proposal for lunar regolith shielding system and directed structural testing
• ▸Led 6-member engineering team in developing autonomous deployment methods and rocket integration
• ▸Spearheaded LS-Dyna FEA analysis and designed load cell/temperature sensor array to validate structural models
