Baltimore, Maryland Area

Developed simpler, cheaper, and more intuitive U-lock bracket solutions compatible with Kryptonite Bike Locks. During this project I have designed prototypes by drawing, 3D modelling, 3D printing, and casting on a $15,000 budget. I also presented progress to professional engineers at biweekly meetings as well as conducted end-user testing of our solutions.
