Courtland Bailey
Hi, I'm Courtland, a Junior in Industrial Engineering student at Purdue University focused on structures and operations supply chain management.
I created this portfolio to give a closer look at the work behind that focus, from testing satellite hardware at Northrop Grumman to founding a rocketry program from the ground up, and the manufacturing operations path all of it is building toward.
