  The goal of this research is to implement a vaccine registry that will be available for use on a smart phone based device. Our objective in this research is to create a user centered design of an existing database for use in rural countries. Through the use of smart phones rural countries will be able to track children’s’ immunization records to improve coverage and increase follow-up.

• Airframe Tool Engineering Rotation Intern

  • Jun 2010 - Aug 2010

  During my internship at Boeing I worked on two main projects. For the first project I was given a tool that was used on the 737 production line that kept breaking during use. After meeting with several engineers and mechanics I was able to submit a redesign of the tool using Catia V5 that is currently used in the 737 production line at the Renton factory. My second project was to reduce the Renton Tool Flow Time (time it takes to design a tool) that they were currently using. Taking the existing flow time, I created an excel worksheet, crunched numbers, and met with designers. From the information I gathered I was able to create a new flow time that accurately reflected how long it would take a designer to create a tool. Show less

• Undergraduate Researcher

  • Aug 2009 - Sep 2009

  The goal of this HCDE research was to design an informational kiosk that can be placed in various locations on campus thus being an available resource to visitors on campus as well as students. Taking advantage of the visitors’ office my group and I compiled a list of questions to ask them so we would know the most important information to include in the kiosk. We then designed a prototype using PowerPoint and then conducted user research. After minimal revisions our design was presented on time at a University of Washington symposium. My group and I were able to create a user centered information kiosk that would be available in various locations and provide information for everyone. Show less

  • Jun 2009 - Aug 2009

  For my first internship at The Boeing Company I worked on an intense 9 week project focusing on an analysis of a pre-existing system they used to record and keep track of changes regarding various information that were being made. Going through the system I discovered that the main issue was the lack of visibility. At the end of my internship I was able to present a completed plan of action to the Chief Engineer that showcased the problems, the statistics and the reasoning behind my findings, and lastly plans for implementation to increase the visibility for the users. Through this analysis I was able to support the ramp up in 737 production. Show less
