Message

At Boeing Defense and Space, I provide stress analysis for military derivative aircraft. I completed stress reports for aircraft modification projects, including military installations on Head of State aircraft and E7 aircraft.

I was the lead stress engineer for the Poland Head of State 737 modification, delivering the required substantiation. I worked with design, manufacturing, and other groups to support a safe and efficient product.

At Garmin International, I acted as a Garmin ODA structures UM, reviewing and approving structural analysis reports, certification plans, drawings, compliance documents, and test plans and reports for STC projects. I also supported MRB activity and projects from early planning through FAA coordination, testing, analysis, and STC completion.

Across my career, I completed certification plans and structural and mechanical compliance documents, and completed hundreds of detail, assembly, and installation drawings using CATIA, SolidWorks, AutoCAD, and limited Pro/E. My work has also included certification testing and structural design coordination.
