Courtland Bailey
Hi, I'm Courtland, a junior in Industrial Engineering at Purdue University, focused on product design, materials research, and manufacturing and supply chain operations planning.
I built this portfolio to show the work behind that focus, from designing satellite at Northrop Grumman to founding the biggest organization on a new campus from the ground up, all building toward a career in manufacturing and supply chain operations management.
