Mechanical engineering student at CU Boulder, minoring in engineering management. Chassis and structural design, CAD, and manufacturing — currently leading chassis & powertrain for Formula SAE and co-running SPEEDIA.
CAD to the machine shop floor — four builds, with the numbers each one hit.
Designed a helmet-mounted, ergonomic media controller built to run in sub-32°F weather. Put the 3D-printed casing through 5 rounds of crash testing, kept it usable up to 30 feet from the device, and designed for assembly to cut build time 30% versus the first prototypes.
Designed and modeled 4+ precision CAD welding jigs in SolidWorks to locate and constrain suspension tabs during fabrication, building manufacturing constraints and weld sequencing into every design. Leading a small group building a suspension validation device to test 5+ configurations.
Designed and constrained 5+ parts in SolidWorks for a compressed-air engine rated under 10 PSI, then machined every part on mills and lathes to within ±0.001 in. Ran the finished engine at 2.4 PSI with a small team.
Led a team of 20 from 30th place in the region to 4th the following year. Built the robot around modular subsystems so the team could swap design ideas heading into competition, and focused on size constraints to improve maneuverability and durability.
Professional roles outside the workshop.
Managed organizational materials, keeping communication consistent from the school to students, and handled 500+ inquiries in the first 6 months.
Coordinated 3 multi-team social media campaigns and maintained direct client relationships, and built 10+ documentation processes for future teams.
Mechanical engineering student (minor: Engineering Management) with hands-on experience in chassis and structural design, seeking a manufacturing or mechanical design internship to apply CAD, production, and simulation skills in a performance-based engineering environment.
What keeps me moving outside the workshop.
Write-ups on builds, competitions, and things learned along the way.
This is where longer posts about projects, competitions, and lessons learned will live.
Reach out about internships, projects, or anything chassis-and-manufacturing shaped.
