2024
Reproduce mechanical components from technical drawings and manufacture them using different machining processes and materials.
I prepared CAD models and engineering drawings, then machined components using machine-shop equipment.
I completed the manufacturing work using steel, aluminum, and plastic, applying dimensional measurements and inspection during fabrication.
Rochester Institute of Technology
September 2026 to Present
Developing mechanical design concepts for an assistive device while evaluating proximity-sensing technologies and speaker or haptic feedback options. Investigating component integration, ergonomic enclosure design, user comfort, assembly requirements, and project constraints.
Mechanical Engineering Course Project
Spring 2025
Designed and manufactured a 3D-printed catapult using CAD, structural calculations, and ANSYS FEA. Evaluated stress concentrations and predicted failure behavior, used 20% gyroid infill for fabrication, and compared simulation predictions with projectile-launch and destructive load testing.
Engineers for a Sustainable World, Rochester Institute of Technology
September 2024 to September 2025
Led mechanical and hydraulic design for a 12 ft by 6 ft hydroponic structure, developing eight CAD models and engineering drawings. Performed flow, pressure-drop, and pump-sizing calculations, evaluated materials and component options, and coordinated a ten-member team while reducing projected system costs by 30%.
Electromechanical Design Project
August 2024 to December 2024
Developed mechanical components and Arduino controls for an automated electromechanical chime system. Performed torque calculations, created CAD models, fabricated parts through laser cutting and 3D printing, and refined actuation timing and alignment to achieve a reported 20% reduction in operating noise.
