About Me

I bring hands-on experience from assembling industrial control panels at Brock Solutions to rebuilding engines at an automotive performance shop. My projects span embedded systems, robotics, and product design—including a Spin Master collaboration and competition-winning line-following robots.

Whether it's interpreting schematics for AC distribution units, modeling blade mechanisms in SolidWorks, or leading a team through a 5-month roller coaster build, I focus on turning engineering concepts into working solutions.

Spin Master Collaboration • 4-Month Project

Toy Design Project

Collaborated on a 4-month design project for Spin Master, developing a toy concept featuring a controlled spinning descent mechanism. Contributed design concepts for the spinning mechanism as a member of the spinning object sub-team. Created sketches exploring blade shapes and deployment methods for optimal descent stability. Used SolidWorks CAD to model and visualize design concepts for prototype testing and evaluation.
