I am a mechanical engineer focused on vehicle dynamics, system modelling, mechanical design, and hands-on mechanical prototyping. This portfolio showcases selected projects in electric vehicle simulation, thermal modeling, mechanical prototyping, and small-scale manufacturing.
Built a MATLAB-based vehicle model to reduce mass, drag, and determine driving strategy for a university competition with an ultra-efficient EV, driving ~30% reductions in drag and mass through collaboration and sensitivity studies.
Re-engineered drivetrain to retrofit a limited slip differential into a 1986 Honda Civic, including machining and using CAD for a speedometer gear design with field validation over 15,000 miles.
Built plastic sheet press in a team of 5 within a $210 budget, conducting thermal simulations for determining good heating cartridge placements and assembling the power electronics and controls.
Modified a CR-10 FDM printer for high-temperature polycarbonate printing and developed print settings to reduce warping in structural case components on larger flat prints through iterative testing using Cura.
Designed a 3D-printed case for a Raspberry Pi. Designed for manufacturing, consisting of 3 parts which require no sanding or trimming for fitment after printing. Snaps together, requiring no extra hardware.
