UMass Internship | May 2020 - May 2021

I worked with the University of Massachusetts Medical School's Facilities Engineering & Management Department as a CAD Drafting Intern beginning in May 2020. During the course of the internship, I was responsible for space data collection and entry, maintaining and updating CAD drawings and databases, and creating 3D renderings, high-quality graphics, and conceptual architectural studies. In addition to office work, I also went out into the field to accurately update as-built drawings and observe the implementation of my CAD drawings. I learned how to use the MEP version of Revit as well as Bluebeam.

Biophilic Church | December 2019

In the Architectural Lighting class, we were told to design a place of unity in our neighborhood that would take full advantage of daylighting while implementing appropriate artificial lighting strategies. My partner and I decided to focus on a church, taking into account solar alignment strategies and religious themes in the design. Halfway through the course, we also built a model in order to test different lighting and how it would affect the church - and what changes we could make to improve it. Throughout this term, we used Sketchup, Revit, Enscape, and Dialux to accurately design and model the church.

Efficient Showerhead Design | December 2018

For the 2019 Solar Decathlon competition in Africa, participants were challenged to design and construct a “high-performance building so energy efficient that its annual energy use can easily be offset with renewable energy” (2019 Competition Guide). Since we were not an official part of the team that designed the building, we focused on the aspect of water, as reducing water usage is one of the most essential problems that people have to deal with in Africa. For our final submission, we created a fully-functioning, 3D-printed, low-flow showerhead to be used by WPI's Solar Decathlon team.
