Mechanical Engineering and Non-Destructive Evaluation
Hello! I am a third-year student at Iowa State University. I am a Mechanical Engineering major with a minor in Non-Destructive Evaluation. My interests lie in the automotive and aerospace fields. This website is a portfolio of my Formula SAE projects at Iowa State, personal projects, certificates, and my resume.
I have used SOLIDWORKS (CSWP Certified) and AutoCAD since I was a junior in high school, and I have experience with Blender, Fusion 360, Microsoft 365, and MATLAB. I am a hands-on, passionate engineer with prior experience and plenty of room to grow.
My Work Experience
Engineering Co-op
Jan 2025 - Aug 2025
Led CAD, 3D printing, and geometric tolerancing for various production floor fixtures and tooling. Engineered several ergonomic and safety-oriented solutions for a more comfortable work environment. Frequently worked between tight deadlines and communicated between several teams and entities to complete projects.
Manufacturing Intern
May 2024 - Aug 2024
Supported manufacturing efforts through the use of machines such as dies, presses, machine welders, robot welders, label machines, grinders, and sanders. Performed inspections on products to ensure high-quality and standardization. Took responsibility for training several new members in various production areas.
Produce Courtesy
Jul 2019 - Nov 2024
Assisted in meeting both the customer's and the store's demands through partial leadership, training of new members, and high-level communication.
Projects
Formula SAE Drill Point Jig
This project details a 3D-printed and sheet metal drill point jig for mounting suspension points that I oversaw and designed for Cyclone Racing's CR-30 vehicle.
Formula SAE Anti-Dive Clevis
Specialized in-house manufactured front upper A-arm clevis for Cyclone Racing's CR-30, allowing for variable anti-dive tuning.
3D Printer Heated Chamber
Custom Bambu Lab X1C heated chamber I created using a portable heater, wi-fi outlet, and temperature-controlled outlet, among other materials, granting me the ability to print at 60°C and with exotic matierals more consistently.
SolidWorks V6 Twin-Turbo Engine
SolidWorks-modeled 217-part twin-turbo V6 engine, utilized SolidWorks Visualize for renders and animation.
3D Print Various Projects
Various SolidWorks-designed 3D-printed projects, such as personal trash cans (pictured) and Stanley water bottle toppers.
Automotive Repair Work
Various automotive repair work, mostly on my mom's 2007 Toyota Sienna, including sliding door cable repair, spark plug and fuel injector replacement, and sliding door track repair.
