I partook in a team project to design and build a fully autonomous VEX companion robot with the capability of a domestic task: Turning off a stove and bringing a plate to another room. As the mechanical lead, I was in charge of assembling the robot's chassis frame and implementing a functioning single-axis arm design in the span of six weeks, taking into account a weight restriction.

I had the unique opportunity of conducting a sensitivity analysis for a senior design team who were building an aircraft for an annual AIAA Design/Build/Fly competition. Although I was not a direct competition member, I played a key role in helping the team evaluate optimal aircraft design parameters and competition strategies.

I have always been interested in rocketry and 3D-modeling. I began a personal project comparing a high-power rocket from a traditional kit to a fully 3D-printed one with PETG using SOLIDWORKS. This project also included the physical assembly of a traditional rocket kit with aerospace adhesives such as epoxy.

In my computer aided design course, I designed a radial engine that you would typically see from an aircraft during the piston-engine era using Autodesk Inventor.

During the summer, I decided to initiate a software project by developing two versions of a pandemic simulation minigame using C++ and Python.

The game models the spread of a disease across a population, requiring players to strategically manage timing and upgrades. The goal of the game is to spread your plague across the entire country before doctors find a cure for it!

I helped design a wind turbine blade and tower for an engineering team. We decided to implement three blades around this hub with the NACA 4424 airfoil and an angle of attack of 45 degrees. This decision was to increase structural strength for a smaller-scale wind turbine more vulnerable to vigorous winds.

I designed a detailed pulley crane system using SOLIDWORKS, taking for account long-term stress loads for better functionality.
