Designs get tested
before they're trusted.
Recent Mechanical Engineering graduate specializing in simulation-driven design — FEA, CFD, and iterative prototyping — across motorsports, marine propulsion, and renewable energy systems. Now targeting automotive & manufacturing engineering roles.
- Led simulation-driven design (CFD + FEA) of a high-performance propulsion system, reducing drag and validating structural integrity under high-load conditions.
- Engineered the propulsor to hit 25 knots while overcoming 1,160 N of hydrodynamic drag, under a strict 25 kW power ceiling.
- Iterated duct and impeller geometry against hydrodynamic drag, structural load, and drivetrain reliability, then validated the result with a physical prototype.
- Built and tow-tank tested multiple prototype iterations, confirming drivetrain reliability, torque transfer, and subsystem integration under real load.
- Specialized in FEA and CFD simulations, analyzing structural integrity and aerodynamic performance of Formula SAE vehicle components.
- Conducted 20+ FEA simulations (static, fatigue, load cases) to validate chassis strength, improving safety factor by 18% under dynamic loading.
- Performed CFD analysis on airflow and drag, contributing to an estimated 10–12% reduction in aerodynamic drag.
- Optimized component geometry via simulation-driven design, cutting material usage by 15% while holding performance requirements.
- Balanced full-time coursework and a competitive Formula SAE design role alongside a physically demanding, safety-critical logistics job — processing 500+ packages per shift with 100% compliance to safety protocol.
E-Bike Gearbox Design Report
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.
Owned the introduction, performance requirements & constraints, and final design-requirements/conclusion sections, and edited the team's presentation video.
