University of Illinois Urbana Champaign - Mechanical Engineer - Computer Science
Created a renewable, grid-independent de-icing system by coupling vibration energy harvesting with resistive heating in concrete.
Engineered a working two-speed transmission with an automatic braking system, using CAD modeling and FEA analysis to create a functional prototype capable of lifting and lowering a 2 kg load.
Spearheaded the development of a modular 3D printing testbed at Modix3d, enabling the seamless testing of various hot-end assemblies with minimal custom hardware and software.
This project involved designing and prototyping a mechanical food chopper, starting with a manual version for users with dexterity challenges and evolving into an automated, motorized model.
Designed and built a complex Rube Goldberg machine to turn off a light, starting with a marble and incorporating at least 10 different mechanical steps.
Upgraded an open-source particle analysis application with advanced image processing techniques to accurately measure coffee grind consistency and detect fines.
Drawing upon three seasons of participation in the FIRST Tech Challenge robotics competition, I cultivated a passion for engineering and computer science.
