Additive manufacturing expert with 7 years of technical experience in metals, processes, and developing additive platforms, parameters, and applications. I have valuable expertise in materials development, working in fast-paced cross-functional teams, and training engineers. In my previous role, I owned and executed the development of critical additive engine components from prototype to production, playing a key role in scaling a small additive lab into one of the largest additive factories of its kind. Currently, I am focused on growing and managing a team on developing laser powder bed fusion platforms and applications to push the boundaries of space exploration. My work is driven by a passion for the space industry, leveraging a diverse background in additive manufacturing, joining processes, materials, metallurgy, and modeling.
