EXPERIENCE

November 2013- June 2014 Program Design Engineer, Proman, Manosque, France
Developed, tested, and supervised implementation of income statement program with Myreport Builder software integrated in Microsoft Excel. The Program was designed to utilize accounting software to automatically report data, save report, and send it to every Proman agency. The Program combined the requirements of and is utilized by several departments (legal, accounting, sales), increasing efficiency and compatibility between departments. Verified the validity of the Program by testing against prior software. Trained employees to efficiently utilize the Program, authored training manual, and provided technical support for the Program.

March2012-August 2012 Materials Engineer, ASTRIUM Space Transportation, St Médard en Jalles, France
Corrected and validated a numerical model employing Fortran, an imperative programming language suited to numeric and scientific computation, to simulate the Filament winding process for composite materials used in
aerospace. Established a numerical model on COMSOL Multiphysics, a finite element analysis and simulation software, to compare multiple models. Ran several simulations of material behavior: determined pressure and fiber tension, utilized simulation data to select sensors, and planned experiments to analyze sensor behavior. Acted as a liaison between R&D and experiment teams; led team meetings. Calibrated piezoelectric sensors and designed experiments to observe the fiber relaxation with different resins in order to optimize on the filament winding process.
