Designs get tested
before they're trusted.
Mechanical Engineering graduate specializing in simulation-driven design — CAD, FEA, CFD, and iterative prototyping — across marine propulsion, drivetrains, and renewable energy systems. Now targeting automotive & manufacturing engineering roles.
- Designed and iterated a marine propulsion drivetrain in SolidWorks for a 25-knot speed target, 1,160 N of estimated hydrodynamic drag, and a 25 kW power constraint; evaluated propulsion geometry and mechanical packaging tradeoffs.
- Developed detailed assemblies for drive shafts, bevel gears, bearing supports, and propeller mounts; applied CFD and FEA to assess fluid loading, structural stress, and drivetrain interfaces before revising components.
- Reduced control supply voltage by 75% (20 V to 5 V) using a buck converter; integrated H-bridge motor control, a DC motor, and linear actuators to support electrically powered steering and propeller tilt.
- Built and refined drivetrain prototypes to examine torque transfer, shaft alignment, and mechanical fit; translated integration observations into updated CAD assemblies and revised subsystem interfaces.
E-Bike Gearbox Design Report
Academic Engineering Project · Mechanical Design, Gear Analysis & CADApr 2025 – Aug 2025
Group capstone for MECH 3409 (Machine Elements Design): a two-stage spur gearbox engineered to step down a 700 rpm, 10 N·m e-bike motor to hit a 30 km/h top speed. Weighed a planetary layout against a simple spur design and selected spur gearing for its simplicity, serviceability, and cost — then carried it through AGMA bending/contact analysis and FEA validation.
Designed a two-stage 2.4:1 spur-gear reduction with a calculated 58% reduction in output shaft speed, working to 10 N·m torque, 30 km/h vehicle speed, and under-8-kg requirements. Performed AGMA gear-tooth bending and contact-stress calculations and FEA, selected carbon steel for the gearing and shafts, specified an aluminum housing, and prepared drawings and a complete bill of materials.
Owned the introduction, performance requirements & constraints, and final design-requirements/conclusion sections, and edited the team's presentation video.
Floating Solar Sun-Tracking System
Team Design Project · Mechanical Design & Sensor IntegrationJan 2025 – Apr 2025
Designed floating mechanical structures supporting solar panels with dynamic sun-tracking capability, from hand-sketched concept through to a dimensioned CAD assembly.
- —Modeled floating structures and panel supports in CAD for buoyancy, stability, and water exposure.
- —Collaborated on integrating sensor-based sun tracking with mechanical actuation for adjustable panel orientation.
- —Integrated sensor-based control (LDR, IMU, ultrasonic) for automated tracking.
Autonomous Seeding Robot
MECH 2502 Instrumentation & Measurement Techniques · Team ProjectWinter 2024
Built a two-layer autonomous robot that plants and waters seeds for reforestation and erosion control. The lower layer holds the mechanical systems: three seed containers dispensed by a stepper-driven rotary feeder, plus a water tank, pump and flow sensor. The upper layer keeps the breadboard and DAQs away from water.
- —Used a Hall-effect water flow sensor to meter the right amount of water for each seed type, and a colour sensor to identify seeds.
- —Controlled seed spacing with an encoder-equipped DC motor driven through a MOSFET.
- —Collected sensor data with USB-6001 and Quanser Q8-USB DAQs and processed it in a LabVIEW VI.
Arduino IDE Go-Kart
Ground-up RC go-kart build: designed the chassis, gearbox, and drivetrain in CAD, generated a full bill of materials, then wired and programmed the electronics on breadboard for functional testing.Jun 2025
Elastic Powered Go-Kart
Miniature 3D-printed car powered entirely by a wound elastic band — no motor. Iterated from a skeletal frame concept to an aerodynamic printed body, designing the gear train that stores and releases elastic energy.May 2025
