Acoustical Consulting

My first love and the beginning of my engineering career. Here is a list of some notable projects I worked on while an acoustical consultant at Charles M. Salter Associates, Inc. My projects focused on the commercial, residential, mixed use, and education sectors.

The Swaliga Foundation

Founded in 2012, The Swaliga Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit whose mission is to cultivate learning globally by inspiring young people to connect their passion to successful careers. This is accomplished through education in science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM). I serve on the organization’s board as a director and the Chairman.

Digital Farm Lab

What started as a Meetup community named Urban AgTech, evolved into a crowdfunded project to build a Personal Food Computer (TM). The Digital Farm Lab’s mission was to improve food security by bringing agricultural production into the digital age.

H2Grow

As a subcontractor with Isabel Technologies, Inc, I collaborated with the World Food Programme Innovation Accelerator to design a construction guide for building a low-cost hydroponic growing system for refugees in Chad, Africa.
