OBJECTIVE
Mechanical Engineering position
EDUCATION:
Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI), Worcester, MA
Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering, GPA: 3.09/4.00 May 2016
RELEVANT COURSES IN MAJOR:
 Nanomaterial & Nanotechnology, Ceramics, Plastics, Materials & Processing, Food Engineering, Fluid
Dynamics, Thermodynamics, Heat Transfer, Kinematics.
EXPERIENCE:
Intern/Volunteer at FMC Technologies, Rio de Janeiro, RJ (Brazil) May 2012 – Aug 2012
 Rotated stations weekly in an Engineering Facility for Subsea operation hardware, software, machinery, and
robotics.
 Carried out stress testing and the application of mesh layers to undersea equipment/components through
ANSYS.
 Areas of interest and study were: Welding crew; machining and milling operations; installation simulation;
production engineering; stress analysis/testing; pressure and heat lab. Witnessed firsthand manifold and
christmas tree completion and assembly.
PROJECTS:
Major Qualifying Project (MQP), WPI (A+ grade received) August 2015– May 2016
 Collaborated with a Civil engineering major to further previous tensile testing of current on the market fire
hoses.
 Tested the thermal and mechanical properties of various fire hoses in higher temperatures ranging from 50°C
to 300°C using an insulated ceramic cup lined with heating coils.
 Simulated and compared the tensile testing with heat of current hoses and alternative materials, in order to
suggest a hose design with new materials that still meets the current criteria.
Thermofluid Design and Analysis: Geothermal Cooling System, WPI Oct 2014 – Dec 2014
 Designed a cooling system for a 4,000 square foot house in mid-summer Massachusetts using a series of heat-
exchangers and expansion valves, ideas were drawn up in SOLIDWORKS.
 Calculated the required specs and found the correct material of the tubes in the shell and tube heat exchanger
and those underground in order to successfully decrease the temperature from ~100 degrees Fahrenheit to 75
degrees.
 Modeled and maximized the initial and 15 years running costs for the cooling system in Matlab.
Trader/Analyst for Interactive Qualifying Project (IQP), WPI (A+ grade received) Aug 2013- May 2014
 Formulated strategies for trading stocks and Forex using Tradestation.
 Developed a system for executing trades when the designated parameters were met. The study was conducted
over a 28 week period with the goal of adapting our system in order to increase survivability in the market.
 Applied market knowledge with skills in statistics and programing algorithms – successfully generated
simulated alpha (profit).
 One of the three portfolios managed to realize a 21.89% virtual increase over 44 day period.
