Three domains, one way of working.
Each one shows the same method on a different problem: map the workflow, automate the parts that are safe to automate, and keep a domain expert on the rest. The domain changes. The method holds. Where the work is anonymized or framed as "how I would architect," the framing is called out. Where there are named platforms, patents, or awards on the public record, they are cited inline.
Drainage studies lose too many hours to data assembly
Three prototype tools I designed in response to friction I observed in conversation with civil and water-resources engineers: drainage-area summaries, ordinance-criteria extraction, and Civil 3D vs SewerGEMS plan QA. Advisory only, every value cited or flagged for review.

How to review a stalled SBIR draft against the criteria that decide it
An illustrative walkthrough of a criterion-linked proposal review: solicitation map, prioritized gap register, technical-thesis pass, revision roadmap, and submission decision memo.

Most techno-economic analyses minimize dollars. This one minimized mass.
A conceptual TEA of fermentation aboard a space mission, under DARPA BSURE. When the scarce resource is launch mass rather than dollars, the cost of every input is repriced. The transferable part is choosing the right objective function before building the model.
Outcome 258 kg/yr lactic acid from a 10 L orbital bioreactor · yeast platform 37% lower system mass · conceptual TEA, FOCAPD 2024
Least-cost feed formulation is a solved problem. Trusting the nutrient matrix is not.
A demonstration pipeline on synthetic data: least-cost ration optimization with provenance on every nutrient value. Cited or flagged, applied to formulation.
