Elevated Water Tank Design-Optimized volumes for elevated water tanks, including structural analysis-Analyzed trade-off between location/elevation and cost/effectivenessPreliminary Forensic Analysis-Assisted in the analysis of a faulty system and determining the potential causes of such a fault-Determined the location of lightning strikes in an area over the course of a day and analyzed the probability of occurrence in a specified areaEnvironmental Analysis, Wetland and Rainfall-Programming in VB (Microsoft Visual Basic), Creation of a program to convert and sort data for rainfall in a 1 year period in increments of 5 minutes to monthly increments, flagging periods of intense rain and average amountsWaterfront Redevelopment Design-AutoCAD, creation of drafts for various test concepts in the redevelopment of waterfront lands in Toronto-Assignment included the analysis of water supply, and treatment of storm waterDesign Report for Internal and External Pumping Station-Determined levels at which lead and lag pumps for PLC and Float control systems would need to initiate and stop at with reference to high water levels -Verified information in Design Report to ensure accuracy and consistency across Specifications Report and O&M ManualConcrete calculations for barriers and framework of Internal and external pumping stations-Performed a volumetric analysis to determine the amount of concrete required for the pumping station’s various sections, including dry areas, wet areas, and emergency storagePedestrian Walkway Design-Conducted a preliminary design for lighting path along a Pedestrian Walkway-Design called for the inclusion of LED lights at raised curb portion of the bridge and the projection down onto the walkway

Was a research assistant at the Bio-Mechatronics and Autonomous Systems Laboratory at the University of Toronto-Research Focus was in the Robotic Urban Search and Rescue area, specifically Multi-Robot Cooperation-Worked on having multiple mobile robots collaborating and collectively making decisions about sensing and moving within their environment-Goal was to increase efficiency in the exploration of urban disaster areas through the use of multiple robots capable of semi-autonomously navigating and mapping their environment

Participation in value analysis studies and industry related R&D projects-Was a member of the research and development team, working on leading edge tailgate systems-Lead benchmarking and analysis for the design and implementation of competitor’s products-Participated in numerous design reviews on current designs, and in house design of productRedesign of Testing Fixture-Lead a team of 4 to determine why values obtained from a testing apparatus did not match theoretical predictions-Ended up redesigning a new fixture from scratch and changing calculation methods for theoretical predictions such that over simplifications on energy losses were avoidedForensic Engineering, Hinges and Parking Brakes-Located and determined the point of failure on a parking brake and winch system returned for service checks-Utilized various equipment such as microscopes, calipers, and video equipment to quantify the extent of the failure, and exhibit the resultant effect on the systemDesign, build, testing and analysis of prototypes-Was integral to the design, building, and testing of a tailgate damper system-Computer modeling (KeyCreator) of mechanical systems with follow-up testing to validate modelsAssisting in product cost estimating, and the preparation of quotations-Created a re-sale analysis document detailing the costs associated with the selling of scrap metal produced for all of the hinge and park brakes run by the company, and compared these to a proposed OEM resale program that was offered to Flex N Gate.-This document was integral in the decision to not accept the proposed resale program, and ended up saving Flex N Gate Bradford hundreds of thousands of dollarsCapability Analysis-Lead a capability analysis of an in production hood hinge, included the acquisition of parts, measurement of data, and presentation of data to management team, with follow-up for changes made to design
