Optimization problem for a balsa wood truss. The purpose of this project was to maximize specific strength, given geometric constraint. I preformed stress failure analysis to make all members fail at the same load.

My first university engineering project. Where me and my team designed a curb assist for dogs in wheelchairs. I the mechanical member of the group, and this is the first time I used CAD to complete a project.

Conceptual design study for a piezo driven robotic hand. Focusing on 1-DOF for a finger. This was part of my ME 598 technical elective course on smart materials, and I wanted to use this as an opportunity to explore how practical piezoelectric motion is for one of my main interests, robotic manipulators. (Spoilers: It is not very practical)

Continuing my passion for developing mechatronic systems, I joined the University of Waterloo Robotics Team (UWRT) where I got to work on a more challenging mars rover project and compete at the University Rover Challenge (URC).

Highschool FRC robotics team (1482). I spent 500+ hours here making my first robots! Competed in 5 robotics competition over 3 FRC games (Aerial Assist, Recycle Rush & FIRST STRONGHOLD). I was a core member my first year on the team, and was a leader and teach the following two years.

Excluding the continual use of tools for projects and day-day fixes, I have over 5 years of shop and hands-on experience, including formal training in welding & fabrication, manual metal machining on a mills and lathes, various metal benders and shears (including hydraulic), and many power tools and hand tools.
