About
I am a mechanical engineering student focused on CAD design, finite element analysis, and manufacturing. I love the process of designing a purposeful, usable product, and I am especially interested in manufacturing it to become a real product.
Outside of studies and professional work, I study the cello, workout at the gym, and expand my skillset. Whether it is origami, photography, web design, content creation, or another skill, I strive to always learn more.
Engineering Portfolio
About My Engineering Work
I am experienced in Siemens NX and SolidWorks through academic coursework, Rensselaer Motorsport, and personal design projects.
My focus lies in purposeful design, manufacturability, and validation through FEA.
My current projects include the design and fabrication of a new pit cart for Rensselaer Motorsport and a fully modeled V12 engine recreation.
Toilet Fill Valve
This is a recreation of a toilet fill valve assembly in Siemens NX.
The objective of this project is to demonstrate various modeling techniques, assembly creation, and part relationships.
Rensselaer Motorsport Check-In Box
This box is a custom enclosure made in SolidWorks for a ID check in system at Rensselaer Motorsport.
It houses a breadboard, three LEDs, and ID reader. It is designed for easy storage and removal of components and quick iteration for design changes.
Truss Structural Analysis
This study is a structural optimization project using SolidWorks Simulation.
I increased this rear wing truss FOS by 1.4 through geometry refinement and stress redistribution. This work aided aero development for Rensselaer Motorsport's '25-26 car.
Machining & Manufacturing
This is a machined replica of a lightsaber from Star Wars built in an engineering processes class. The replica in the image was manually machined, but another was made in a CNC.
This project has an emphasis on tolerances, surface finish, and mastery of various manufacturing techniques.
