Projects

Steel Part Design & Testing — Daniels Manufacturing Corporation

CAD 3D/2D • GD&T (ASME Y14.5) • FMEA

  • Designed a critical steel component concept-to-creation with 3D models and 2D drawings complete with GD&T per ASME Y14.5
  • Ran CAD-based stress analysis and applied FMEA to find failure points, improving reliability by ~30%
  • Partnered with R&D and manufacturing to preemptively solve design-to-production challenges

CAD Build & Project Management — TKE Advisor Board, Inc.

AutoCAD Inventor • DFA • Structural Modeling • Team Leadership • Gantt Planning

  • Modeled a large-scale, $2,000 covered patio system; performed shear/strain calculations and materials research
  • Led a 10-person construction team and used Gantt charts to meet schedule and budget constraints
  • Analyzed cost-performance trade-offs to deliver satisfactory results to the customer

Wind Flow Simulation — Burnett Honors College

ANSYS • CFD • Mesh Analysis • Engineering Reporting

  • Simulated internal flow through a tunnel, analyzing changes in velocity profiles and pressure gradients
  • Applied structured meshing to ensure simulation stability and output and interpreted data to support design improvement for embedded structures

Load-Bearing Wall Construction — Catalyst Surf Shop

Load Analysis • Budgeting • Client Collaboration • Real-World Constraint Engineering

  • Drafted construction plans and managed a $1,000 budget with tight materials and schedule limitations
  • Coordinated directly with the customer to meet functional and aesthetic requirements

Full Mechanical & Electrical System Development – GNOR Project

Electromechanical Integration • Closed Loop Controls • Testing & Validation • Fabrication

  • Engineered closed-loop heading control using gyroscope feedback to re-orient after disturbances and verified electronics as a system before hull integration
  • Collaborated on CAD modeling of the hull and mechanical assemblies in Onshape, ensuring dimensional accuracy for motor mounts, rudder linkage, and electronics bay

Indoor Bar Project — TKE Advisor Board, Inc.

AutoCAD Fusion • 2D CAD Drafting • Cradle to Grave Project Management • Technical Documentation

  • Created 2D CAD production drawings and delivered technical documentation to customer to ensure ease of assembly and construction
  • Produced drawing sets, material lists, and risk-mitigation strategies to ensure optimal product lifecycle

Autonomous Maze Robot — Burnett Honors College

C+ • CAD • 3D Printing •Control Systems

  • Utilized C+ and Arduino systems to engineer a maze-navigating robot with a sensor-triggered catapult
  • Modeled 3D printed catapult using 3D CAD for optimal performance

Cantilever Beam Analysis — Design and Analysis of Machine Components UCF

ANSYS APDL • Structural Mechanics • Simulation & Analytical Validation

  • Simulated maximum stress and maximum deflection in ANSYS APDL using material properties.
  • Validated simulation by comparing against closed-form beam theory and calculated % error.
  • Delivered full report and simulation video walkthrough, demonstrating analysis workflow and results.
