As a Systems Test Engineer for the Delta IV Propulsion Group I was a part of the team that ensured the rocket and all supporting ground systems were ready for launch. My specific areas of expertise were the Swing Arm System, the second stage umbilical interface, and the Hazardous Gas Detection System.

Near the end of my time at United Launch Alliance I was promoted to lead the ground propulsion team, a subset of the Delta IV Prop Group, which focuses on the launch site infrastructure that supports the fueling of the rocket prior to launch.

After completing a masters degree in Finance I began working as a Data Scientist for derivatives markets. Over time this position has evolved and given me the opportunity to complete projects in many areas of the exchange including index design, risk model development, and product design to name a few.

I completed my bachelors degree at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, including a semester-long exchange program at TU Delft in the Netherlands.

I completed my masters degree at the Illinois Institute of Technology Stuart School of Business.
