Technical Lead
2023 - 2026
Development projects at Medtronic typically divide leadership responsibilities for subsystems across senior level individual contributors to distribute the responsibilities. The technical lead is responsible for coordinating development for their subsystem and owns overall subsystem outcomes beyond their own individual contributions.
I filled a subsystem tech lead role for my last two projects at Medtronic.
As a tech lead for our Endoluminal Robotics development project, I coordinated with systems, industrial design, clinical, electrical and software engineering. Our responsibilities were to deliver demo ready versions of our prototype to customers on 3 month cycles, identify project risks, and eliminate those risks.
As a tech lead on the next generation Hugo project, I coordinated between our industrial design, electrical, software and mechanical team to develop prototypes that demonstrated new features, developed tests to define requirements and validated our new features.
Co-op Manager
2023 - 2026
Medtronic's Boston office grew by over 150 software engineers during my time there. I identified a need for more mechanical engineering support in my operating unit and contacted Northeastern University to develop a relationship with their Co-op program.
As a Co-op manager, I selected top quality candidates from a pool of 100+ applicants, conducted interviews, advocated for the role within Medtronic, and worked with HR to create the position each cycle.
I was the primary mentor for the Co-op, responsible for creating projects suited to their learning goals, holding regular design reviews, and teaching general professionalism and engineering skills.
Workshop Manager
2022 - 2026
I oversaw the mechanical workshop space in our office and completed regular safety inspections, inventory management, equipment maintenance, and space priority allocation. During our 2024 office relocation I designed the new lab space and managed transferring all the equipment. While I managed the space, usage increased from 3 to 18 onsite mechanical engineers.
My role ensured that everyone had access to a functioning hardware prototyping space with necessary equipment for their project needs.
Following our victory in the 2018 NASA Mars Ice Challenge, my teammates and I founded the Northeastern University chapter of Students for the Exploration and Development of Space (SEDS). Our goal was to create an organization where students lead independent research and engineering projects, gaining hands-on experience beyond their course curriculums.
In our first year, as founding president I established the club's structure, mentorship programs, and resource allocation to support teams tackling senior capstone-level challenges and research projects. As the organization grew, I transitioned to the role of finance chair, where I developed purchasing workflows and reimbursement processes to streamline funding within the university. After a brief break while on a co-op outside Boston, I returned as president for my final year, overseeing the club's expansion.
By the time I graduated, SEDS had grown to over 100 active members across six research teams, competing in national challenges and driving innovative space-related projects. I continue to support the organization by supporting the alumni network and connecting students with alumni to help mentor teams.
Founding and leading this community of ambitious, driven engineers remains my greatest achievement at Northeastern University.
ASME SolidWorks Instructor
2017-2020
I prepared lesson plans and lectured to four classes of 40 students to prepare them for the SolidWorks 'Certified SolidWorks Associate' exam as a member of the Northeastern University chapter of ASME.
