I build physical systems and ship real things.
Iteration, prototyping, and testing until it works. I care about making things that actually exist in the world — not just designs that look good on a slide.
About
I build across hardware, performance systems, and automation infrastructure. My work spans drivetrain optimization, structural analysis, thermal concepts, and building full-stack systems from scratch. I'm interested in engineering that connects physical design, modeling, and scalable execution.
- Designing and optimizing the drivetrain system for Queen's Formula SAE Electric vehicle.
- Performing gear ratio, chain, and sprocket analysis to balance torque, speed, and efficiency.
- Modelling and integrating drivetrain components in SolidWorks for performance validation.
- Helped build and grow a student-led additive manufacturing team focused on hands-on fabrication and practical engineering applications.
- Currently designing and building a 3D printer from scratch, focusing on mechanical precision, calibration, and print reliability for functional engineering parts.
- Built a late-night food delivery service for university students, managing operations and logistics.
- Built automated ordering and payment workflows using Twilio, Make.com, and Stripe to streamline operations.
- Installed, wired, and troubleshot fluid and mechanical systems (pumps, filters, irrigation).
- Diagnosed and repaired mechanical faults under real-world field conditions.
- Gained practical experience applying engineering fundamentals in an independent, hands-on environment.
- Diagnosed hardware/software issues and implemented solutions under time constraints.
- Developed structured problem-solving and documentation skills for system-level reliability.
- Created, optimized, and printed custom prototypes using PLA, PETG, and resin printers.
- Collaborated with clients and designers to translate CAD models into physical components, ensuring dimensional accuracy and DFM compliance.
Projects
A few things I've built.
Redesigned and structurally optimized our FSAE sprocket to cut unnecessary mass while keeping strength and chain reliability under race loads.
Focus Topology optimization workflow from FEA result to final machined geometry.
Analyzed gear ratios, chain sizing, motor torque curves, and lap simulation data to tune our electric drivetrain for acceleration without sacrificing durability.
Focus Tuning gear ratios against real lap simulation outputs, not just static calculations.
Designed a system concept that centralizes hardware failure data across revisions so engineering teams can actually see patterns instead of losing insights in spreadsheets.
Focus Prototyping a failure-tracking schema and UI from scratch.
Built a fully automated SMS-based ordering system with live inventory, Stripe payments, and delivery routing logic so a student-run food operation could scale without chaos.
Focus Connecting Twilio, Stripe, and routing APIs into a live, working system.
Developed a thermal isolation concept to improve system efficiency and manage heat transfer between critical vehicle subsystems under real-world operating constraints.
Focus Prototyping a partition geometry that fits within existing packaging constraints.
Designed a modular electric scooter concept focused on structural integrity, safety compliance, and real-world usability instead of just aesthetics.
Focus Building out structural geometry and load paths from the frame up.
Led the design and validation of a competition-ready steering wheel assembly balancing ergonomics, structural integrity, and manufacturability.
Focus Designing and iterating on the assembly until it passed competition load requirements.
