Explore Projects01 / Selected work
A selection of projects showing my approach to design, prototyping, fabrication, testing, and iteration.
01Redesigned the battery system for the University of Portland EVGP electric kart as part of a senior capstone project. The work focused on improving the mechanical layout and integration of the battery and powertrain while balancing packaging, manufacturability, and performance requirements.
02Designed and fabricated a compact enclosure to house and organize male and female thermocouple connectors used in testing. The enclosure improved organization, protected the connectors, and made the setup easier to access and manage during testing.de.
03Ongoing personal projects focused on solving practical mechanical problems through design, repair, modification, and fabrication. Projects have included hands-on automotive work, custom mounts, and other small mechanical solutions developed through hands-on troubleshooting and iteration.
Project approach
I start by defining the problem, identifying the important requirements, and understanding the constraints that will shape the design.
I develop practical solutions through CAD, component selection, prototyping, fabrication, and hands-on assembly.
I evaluate how the solution performs, troubleshoot issues, and make changes based on what I learn through testing and real-world use.
02 / About
I’m a mechanical engineer with a strong interest in hands-on design, testing, fabrication, and problem-solving. My experience spans automotive and powertrain projects, prototyping, machining, and hardware development, and I enjoy working through the full process from concept to build and test.
My background includes mechanical design, CAD, 3D printing, machining, testing, data acquisition, and hands-on hardware work. Through internships, school projects, and personal projects, I’ve worked with electric motor and inverter systems, battery and powertrain design, sensor instrumentation, soldering, wiring, and mechanical fabrication. Outside of formal engineering work, I enjoy working on cars, exploring mechanical and electrical systems, and experimenting with guitar and musical-instrument components. I’m drawn to projects where I can learn by building, troubleshooting, and improving real hardware.
