I’m a mechanical engineer by degree, electrical engineer by trade, and kinda OK at a bunch of other stuff.

Currently I’m part of the team at BETA Technologies, where we’re electrifying flight by pushing the boundaries of today’s technology and developing pragmatic, practical solutions to create a commercially viable aircraft.

Before moving back to Vermont, I was a Calibration Engineer at Ford for 4 years, working on the 2020 Ford Explorer Hybrid, Police, Plug-in (export only), and Lincoln Aviator. I developed a lot of oddball features, including adaptive cruise control, selectable drive modes, automated parking, EV modes for the PHEV, and a lot of the HMI for hybrid operation (meters, range estimation, power flow, efficiency gamification, etc.). This involved tons of testing, instrumentation, data analysis, and systems-level knowledge.

While I was a student at UVM, I worked at a company called Laser Labs, where I designed electronics enclosures, circuit boards, and wrote code for consumer electronics.

I was part of a Formula Hybrid team called the Alternative Energy Racing Organization (AERO) for four years, and have had the opportunity to design systems, fabricate parts, collaborate with my peers, and lead a team.
