### Life Sciences Intern @ Carbon
Jan 2017 – Jan 2017
Engaged with customers, greatly reduced client wait time for sample parts using a supply chain dashboard.

Developed a full stack Excel dashboard to enable engineers to rapidly process
and visualize 3D printing statistics from any individual Carbon printer.

Generated and produced low-cost, high-resolution parts from client submitted
3D files. Optimized client designs to decrease cost and production time.
Validated part accuracy and material consistency

### Engineering Intern @ Fathom
Jan 2016 – Jan 2016 | Durham, North Carolina
Built a framework to collect and accumulate force measurements and time
series data from impact sensors embedded in an athlete insole.
