Work with Connor
About
Hey y'all! I’m a Princeton engineering student and Army ROTC cadet. I help students with college applications, service academy and ROTC applications, and SAT and ACT Math. We can work on an essay, practice an interview, or go through the math problems giving you trouble.
Connor’s Service Academies & ROTC Qualifications
10+ Service Academies & ROTC clients
Hey all! I'm Connor, and undergraduate at Princeton University studying Chemical and Biological Engineering (and grabbing 3 minors too!), and incoming SpaceX engineer. At Princeton, I'm the top ranked army ROTC cadet, scored 1 point off perfect on the Army Fitness Test, and have received Distinguished Military Graduate honors. Outside of ROTC, I've completed multiple engineering internships including one with SpaceX, and also worked in 3 labs, resulting in a paper currently being published to Nature. I've helped numerous cadet candidates and high school students navigate college, ROTC, and service academy applications, and I can also help you navigate career paths from college to either the military or the engineering world. I'm looking forward to chatting!

Why do I coach?
I went to a public high school and remember how much there was to figure out with so few resources when applying to college and making decisions on my future, include whether or not to serve. I enjoy helping students talk through their options and take the next step with more confidence.
Work Experience
Intern
SpaceX
May 2026 - September 2026
- Created defect detection computer vision model, automating $3.8 million in manual labor per year. - Created material detection system tracking $2.6 million in raw material per year. - Designed copper bath treatment process 25% more efficient than previous processes in removing organic concentrate.
Intern
Entegris
April 2025 - August 2025
- Engineered Python image analysis program to calculate confocal index of organic/metallic residues at ppm/ppb levels, improving efficiency by 900% compared to laser confocal microscopes. - Built defect-detection algorithm for polymer membranes imaged under darkfield microscopy; turbulence filter identified defects down to 0.4% scale. - Quantified concentration–signal strength relationships through FTIR data analysis. - Characterized 150+ polymer membranes using SEM, EDS, and FTIR for performance evaluation in cleanroom settings.
