My Work

This is my Project Page. Many projects have not made it up yet or are too small to include. As I produce more ideas and creations, they will show up here!

1986 Pontiac Fiero Restoration

This was a family friend's first car that came into my possession. I have always wanted to have a project car, so this was the perfect opportunity to experiment and learn new skills (replacing a clutch and automotive painting). The car hadn't run in years and was in rough shape on the exterior, so I gave it a re-fresh! Check it out!

Electrathon - NHRHS

Electrathon is a competition that allows students to design, construct, test, and develop competitive electric race vehicles that must follow strict specifications. Two divisions exist: composite and classic. I designed and helped build the first leaning vehicle submitted to the competition. This class launched my love for design and engineering.

CCSU FSAE Team Rear Suspension

I joined the CCSU FSAE Team in 2018 and re-designed and optimized the rear suspension for my Capstone Project. This project improved my vehicle dynamics knowledge and also challenged my machine design and finite element skillset. I introduced myself to topology optimization methods to aid in reducing the weight of the bell crank.

Tooling Design & 3D Printing

During my engineering internship, some tasks required innovative machine and tool designs to improve part handling and equipment versatility. 3D printing was used for many of the complex designs that could not be easily machined.

Mechatronics

I have always had an interest in robotics and mechatronics since they can bring a pile of wires and bolts to life. I have started learning Arduino and will continue to build on my skills and programming to make fun robots and even theme park rides.
