Skills

Solidworks (4 years) and FEA

Fusion 360 (9 years)

Onshape (2 years)

DFMA and optimizing for machining, sheet metal, 3D printing, laser cutting, welding, servicability etc.

Complex Assemblies

Fully articulated FTC robots designed from the ground up each year from 8th grade to senior year of high school

Working with 3D Scans

Scanning existing items and designing systems around them, as well as modifying and working with the resulting meshes 

Drawings and GD&T

Created many manufacturing drawings with GD&T, tolerance stackup analysis, press fit calculations, fastener calculations

Internal force calculations, failure mode analysis, FEA (both mechanical and thermal), material selection and validation, motion ratio and torque calculations of linkage assemblies

Internal Force Calculations

Stress, strain, deflection, beam bending equations, applying theory and equations to individual parts and assemblies before FEA

FEA and Material Selection

Performed FEA on many components both for work and for personal projects to validate design and material selections

Motion Ratio and Torque

Calculated the motion ratio of linkages to determine the torque needed to actuate the assembly

7 years of building, coding and FTC robots with odometry based autonomous and computer vision

Planning electronics assemblies Soldering wiring harnesses for my minibikes and go-karts

Arduino/ ESP8266 based projects

Ground up FPV racing drone builds

Wiring and Enclosures

3 years of TIG welding mostly tube frame and or assembled waterjet assemblies, some sheet metal repair

Arduino Based Projects

Scanning existing items and designing systems around them, as well as modifying and working with meshes 

Drones

This is one of my old 3" FPV drones I converted into a flying cap for my high school graduation

TIG welding, sheet metal fabrication, grinders, drills, standard shop tools

TIG Welding

3 years of TIG welding mostly tube frame and or assembled waterjet assemblies, some sheet metal repair

TIG Welding (continued)

As well as actually welding I have learned a lot about fixturing and used many other shop tools

Sheet Metal Fabrication

Design and bending sheet metal for both small complex shapes and larger surfaces that require consistent gaps

CNC 3 and 5 axis 

(DT2 and UMC350HD) 

Programming in Mastercam

Conversational on TRAK DRO mill

Manual mill and lathe

Small 5 axis parts

At Cytonome I CNCed many small 3 and 5 axis parts, both running and modifying existing programs as well as writing my own 

Assemblied

I machined many parts for the brake assembly on my minibike, from caliper and rotor mounts to fork clamps

Rotary Table

Sprocket hub I made on a rotary table on a manual mill

As well as maintaining the small vehicles I've created, I've worked on Volvos (S60 and XC70), GMC Acadia, and others with oil changes, drivetrain fluid flushes (trans, diffs, awd), PCV oil trap, 3D printed sway bar bushings, brake pads and rotors, tire changes, etc.

Wiring and Enclosures

3 years of TIG welding mostly tube frame and or assembled waterjet assemblies, some sheet metal repair

Arduino Based Projects

Scanning existing items and designing systems around them, as well as modifying and working with meshes 

Sheet Metal Fabrication

Design and bending sheet metal for both small complex shapes and larger surfaces that require consistent gaps

Laser cut wood, acrylic, sheet metal

Waterjet metal and assemblies

Laser Cut Wood

I laser cut the wing for the Little Tikes Gokart out of plywood

FTC Robots

A majority of the parts and assemblies for the FTC robots were designed and lasercut out of acrylic 

Waterjet Assemblies

The powertrain swap for the KTM were designed to be waterjet and welded together for ease and speed in manufacturing and strength 

Many woodworking projects over the years starting in elementary school

Plywood Shelf

Shelf designed to be made out of 2 sheets of plywood for my room, designed and built in an afternoon

3D Printer Cabinet

Wheeled 3D printer enclosure with filament storage drawer

Pulley Based Standing Desk

Standing desk with frame made of 2x4s that used pulleys and a winch to raise and lower with no electronics

3D printed earrings

Wire based necklaces, rings

Fixing a lot of jewelry

Wire Jewelry

Wire earrings and ear cuffs I've made more recently too

3D Printed Earrings

Many 3D printed earrings over the years as gifts for friends

Rings

Some of the many wire rings I made freshman year before I got actual wire tools
