Note: This portfolio is slightly out of date, but I still built some cool things!
Project Overview
This portfolio showcases a range of mechanical design projects, focusing on the intersection of electromechanical systems, industrial automation, and medical devices.
My approach to mechanical design is tied to whole-system requirements: physical structures need to support sensing performance, thermal stability, and reliability in the field.
Expertise
- CAD Modeling & Architecture: Developing complex assemblies and detailed parts with a focus on manufacturing (DFM).
- Finite Element Analysis (FEA): Conducting structural and thermal simulations to validate designs before prototyping.
- Mechanism Design: Creating repeatable, high-precision motion systems for robotics and automation.
- Prototyping & Fabrication: Leveraging 3D printing, CNC machining, and hands-on assembly to iterate rapidly.
- Industrial Systems: Designing ruggedized enclosures and support structures for harsh environments.
"Mechanical design is the bridge between a theoretical system and a physical reality."
Through these projects, I emphasize the importance of rigorous validation and testing to ensure that every mechanical component performs reliably under real-world conditions.
