My Experiences
Below is a brief overview of all of the experience, both professional and personal, that has led me to where I am today.
HighRes Biosolutions
My current role at HighRes Biosolutions has taught me countless skills in the world of robotics and lab automation. In this role, I work primarily with an automated liquid handler in integrated environments to help develop our customer's lab processes.
Neurosafe
Myself and a group of 4 others developed a completely novel device to disrupt the current surgical flow of Intra-Cranial Pressure crises from two major surgeries to one. We won an NBIB prize for $15,000 and have filed a patent for the design with the help of RPI.
Medline Industries
This was my first real engineering experience. I worked for a manufacturing division of the gigantic Medline, where I utilized my skills and learned about the medical device industry.
Lambda Chi Alpha
Lambda Chi at RPI helped shape my college experience. I held numerous leadership roles, including President, during the most tumultuous times the Fraternity had experienced (COVID). Under my leadership, we not only survived, we thrived.
Engineering Design Project
My first experience in a group project in college. We set out to tackle the difficult problem of poor sleep that we were plagued with. Read about our design and thought process!
HighRes Biosolutions
June 2022 - Present
At HighRes, I work with a variety of lab automation solutions in an integrated environment to help customer success.
I am tasked specifically with our first-party liquid handling device. I travel to customer sites and integrate devices onto larger systems.
I also do specific support work for customers as well. I troubleshoot device issues which often requires disassembly and reassembly of the device to be able to see and replace motors, boards, and other critical components. It also includes work with Oracle and PostGres databases to fix critical software problems.
On top of that, I develop liquid techniques to improve pipetting for customers across a wide variety of scientific applications.
Neurosafe
January 2022 - May 2022
My Capstone project with a group of 4 others that won an NBIB prize for 15,000$ for a novel design and is now patent pending.

Medline Industries
January 2021 - January 2022 (Co-Op)
My responsibilities at Medline varied throughout my year there. I updated countless drawings, submitted ECOs, and worked extensively with Solidworks PDM.
Also alongside their new automation process, I developed fixturing to determine the optimal contact angles and UV cure distances in order to optimize their process. I used a Markforged printer with nylon laced filament to produce these parts. I then inlaid them with press-in brass fittings. I utilized existing tools to mount these fixtures to at a controlled distance and angle.
The device needed to easily flip between two different curing methods, easily update contact angles, syringe distances, etc. The pictured device is what I came up with for this. I then wrote a work instruction on how to operate it.
Lambda Chi Alpha
Fall 2018 - Spring 2022
Lambda Chi shaped a lot of my college experience. During COVID, it was the rock I relied on to make it through classes and then co-op.
My leadership roles in the fraternity taught me a lot about the best leadership strategies for myself, how to work with a variety of different learning and working styles, as well as how to interact with numerous groups in different roles of authority.
During my time as President, our fraternity was one of the few to thrive during COVID. We recruited the largest rush class of the school, at 18 people, and maintained our status as the largest fraternity on campus. Alongside this, we maintained the highest Greek GPA for the two semesters I was president. We also raised more than 1500$ for our national philanthropy and ~2800 lbs of food for our local food shelter.
I also had the responsibility of moving our chapter back into our fraternity house after our institute let us.
I learned a lot here and also managed to set us up for future success. We are still a top performing Lambda chapter nationally and the top fraternity at RPI.
Engineering Design Project
Fall 2019
This project was my first experience in college working in group environment. In a few short weeks, my team of four developed a novel solution to an issue that plagues everyone: Good sleep and a gentle awakening
- My job on this team was designing a fixation device that could universally fit onto any set of venation blinds (with standard twist and pulley controls)
- Working with the team I came up with numerous design iterations that resulted in the final product show
- It is rudimentary but for the time frame given, it was very effective. Steps to be taken afterwards to productive this were to change to a microcontroller, reduce motor size, and create a better looking housing.
