Projects
Standardized Cart Deisgn
Vactor Manufacturing
As a Summer intern, I redesigned transportation carts used to move boom tube assemblies across the shop floor. The original system required four separate cart designs for similar boom tube variants. I consolidated these into a single, standardized cart that could accommodate all variants, streamlining production and improving material handling efficiency. The new design was created in Autodesk Inventor and emphasized simple manufacturing - utilizing lasered sheet metal and steel tubing to enable quick weldment assembly. The design consisted of a steel tubing base weldment, with a riser weldment where the boom turret was supported and pinned into place. This project simplified internal logistics and reduced the need for multiple custom builds.
Reverse-engineered fixture
Vactor Manufacturing
During my internship with Vactor Manufacturing over the Summer of 2024, I reverse-engineered a fixture model used to manufacture a filter housing. I took dimensions from the physical fixture and outdated AutoCAD drawings and used those to create a 3D model of the fixture in Inventor.
Notecard Dispenser
Personal Project
As a fun side project, I made this notecard dispenser for a friend. I used Inventor to design the dispenser, which could hold about 100 notecards. All the white pieces were 3D printed out of PLA, and the springs were stolen from an old notebook I had lying around.
Wordle App
Video quality is better in fullscreen
AP Computer Science Principles
As a part of my AP Computer Science Principles class as a high school senior, I had to develop a program for a final project. I decided to make an app that functioned identically to the Wordle game. I developed the app in JavaScript on the Code.org interface, as required by the class.
Robot End Effector
First Robotics Team 4143
During my senior year of high school, I led the prototyping, design, and manufacturing of a mechanical claw used to manipulate game pieces in the 2023 FIRST Robotics Competition. My subteam and I designed the claw in Onshape, with the components either sourced off the shelf or fabricated using a CNC router, CNC mill, or 3D printing.
Robot Chassis
FIRST Robotics Team 4143
During my junior year of high school, I manufactured this frame for our 2022 robot as part of my involvement with the FIRST Robotics team. I used Fusion 360 to generate G-code for the frame rails, drive module components, and gusset plates and then fabricated all of these parts using a band saw and a 3-axis CNC mill.
