What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that fosters innovation and offers opportunities for growth in aerospace and software development.

I am a highly driven software developer and aerospace engineer with a strong academic background and hands-on experience in the field. I graduated from Mississippi State University with a Bachelor of Science in Aerospace Engineering, achieving a major GPA of 3.86. My education has equipped me with a solid foundation in engineering principles, complemented by a minor in Mathematics.

Currently, I work at Penta Research Inc. as a Software Developer, where I support defense contracts by conducting performance analysis of missile defense simulations. My role involves interpreting complex data, implementing machine learning algorithms, and developing plotting suites to enhance data visualization. Previously, I interned with the Mississippi Department of Transportation, where I designed finite element analysis models and developed MATLAB programs to improve engineering processes. My collaborative projects, such as designing an aircraft for firefighting missions, have honed my ability to work effectively in teams and communicate technical concepts clearly.
