Professional Experience

  • Boston Dynamics, Boston Dynamics, Waltham, Massachusetts, 2019 - Present
    • Leads additive manufacturing within a world-class rapid prototyping facility, delivering 22,000+ polymer and metal parts annually across 4,000+ unique orders to support R&D and low-volume productionof advanced mobile robotics. Oversees all fleet operations, including programming, scheduling, and maintenance, across MJF, DMLS, FDM, SLA, and post-processing systems.
    • Fabricated structural metal body components for multiple generations of Atlas humanoid platform, owning the process end-to-end from print strategy through finishing — enabled by qualifying new Scalmalloy print parameters on an EOS M290 through DoE-based testing and third-party mechanical validation
    • Built an internal “click-to-buy” web app for automated quoting and order tracking, delivering a self-service platform that scaled to absorb a 3x increase in annual part volume and more than 2x increase in orders.
    • Developed process parameters to integrate chemical vapor smoothing into production, improving surface finish and eliminating particulate shedding for end-use polymer parts.
    • Defined technical and infrastructure requirements for a fleet management platform to monitor, schedule, and automate a distributed FDM print farm, in collaboration with IT and facilities.
    • Wrote operational documentation and onboarded an incoming AM technologist to full independence, maintaining uninterrupted production coverage.
  • Engineering Technician, Desktop Metal, Burlington, Massachusetts, 2017 - 2019
    • Hired to support development of alpha-stage bound metal 3D printers, advanced into process engineering, and became a key resource across technical, product, and marketing teams. Eventually selected as sole technician to spin-up a new product line based on adapting third-party hardware to the company’s binder-jetting process.
    • Led hands-on bring-up of a new metal AM product line, reporting directly to the CTO. Built out lab infrastructure to meet metal-powder safety requirements, designed and executed on-printer experiments to validate trial binder agents, and partnered with an overseas hardware team to ship the product to market as the DM Shop System.
    • Became the company’s primary Multi Jet Fusion technician, building an in-house prototyping pipeline and training additional operators in machine maintenance and job programming.
    • Trained in DoE methodology, designing and executing formal experiments to refine print process variables. Developed the parameter set for a high-resolution 150-micron nozzle
  • Designer & Fabricator, The Factory NYC, Brooklyn, New York, 2017
    • Produced scenery and installations, and created functional props using custom electronics and micro-controller programming for high-visibility retail, fashion and marketing events. Operated, programmed, and maintained CNC router.
  • Software Engineer — Contract, QualityLogic, Los Angeles, California — Remote, 2016
    • Performed quality assurance testing and documented performance issues for 3D printing slicer software, building protocols to provide pixel-precise analysis of data. Designed test cases and managed testing plans to determine interoperability, compliance and performance.
  • Production Technician, Normal Ears, New York, New York, 2014 - 2015
    • Manufactured and assembled custom-fit earphones, using 3D printing and laser cutting in a real-time environment to create mass-customizable consumer products at scale. Ideated new product concepts and fabricated product displays for retail environments and business development presentations.
    • Optimized manufacturing processes by streamlining workflow, reducing production time for a single pair of earphones by 40%.
  • Junior UI/UX Designer — Contract, LightSail Education, New York, New York, 2014
    • Designed and produced visual assets and UX/UI for this interactive, tabletbased literacy education platform. Developed new features via wireframes, created visual design mock-ups and high-fidelity prototypes.
  • Editorial Assistant, McMurry/TMG, New York, New York, 2012 - 2014
    • Provided copywriting, editing and composition design for print and digital materials for this content marketing agency serving clients in hospitality, healthcare, and luxury goods. Collaborated with editorial and creative directors in producing new content and managing freelancers
