Experience

Maintenance Manager Intern  |  Amazon

Summer 2026
Temple Terrace, FL
  • Designed and engineered a SLAM line conveyor guard rail system that reduced package drops by 47% on the prototype line, exceeding the expected 33% improvement.
  • Performed mechanical analysis of components and assemblies to select an optimal aluminum extrusion profile, meeting all deflection and safety requirements without mid-span support.
  • Analyzed operational data across 9 SLAM lines to quantify the facility-wide impact, identifying an estimated ~$22,000/year in costs from DEA misses caused by package drops.
  • Evaluated 8 design concepts through a weighted decision matrix, assessing mechanical performance, serviceability, and durability to select the highest-performing solution.
  • Built a custom configuration tool to automate guard rail design for any conveyor length, generating panel layouts, drill guides, BOM with cost estimates, and downloadable 3D-printable STL files.
  • Achieved full project payback in ~38 days at $198 material cost; projected facility-wide ROI of ~$22,000/year savings against ~$5,346 total rollout cost.
  • Managed the full project lifecycle from initial concept through mechanism design, prototyping, fabrication, and installation to final handoff; delivered an engineering report and presentation to senior leadership.

Tire Technician  |  Sam's Club

2022 – 2024, 2025 – 2026
Melbourne & Cocoa, FL
  • Evaluated tire and battery conditions across 15+ vehicles daily, diagnosing wear patterns and recommending targeted service solutions.
  • Maintained compliance with safety protocols and quality standards while meeting daily service quotas in a high-volume environment.

Surveying Intern  |  Brevard County Public Works

Summer 2019
Melbourne, FL
  • Collected elevation and site measurement data using optical levels and grade rods to support public infrastructure planning and construction.
