• Leading a club of over 50 undergraduate students across 6 sub-teams with a shared passion for robotics.• Managing and growing the club's $30k+ budget, ensuring long-term sustainability.

Evanston, Illinois, United States

• Designed in SolidWorks and built a 3 lb combat robot "Blur" featuring a 10k RPM kinetic weapon, titanium armor, and a CNC-milled UHMW body.• Creating robust wiring harnesses and selecting electrical components to control DC motors with speed controllers and radio control.• Conducting dynamic FEA analysis to simulate high-energy robot impacts and validate design geometry.• Training new members, planning travel, and coordinating development of new robots as the combat robotics lead.

Evanston, Illinois, United States

• Developing personal projects such as a robotic hand which mimics wrist and finger motions tracked by a wearable glove controller.

Evanston, Illinois, United States

• Instructing students on usage of SLA and FDM 3D printers, CNC machines, laser cutters, soldering equipment, and basic shop tools to support product development of student led startup companies.

Saline, Michigan, United States

• Contributed to 3 Ford R&D projects focused on vehicle sensor integration and testing for future features.• Designed electronics enclosures and sensor mounts to cleanly integrate components into test vehicles.• Prototyped design evolutions rapidly using 3D printers, plasma cutters, mills, and other shop tools.• Executed system-level validation test plans and wrote in-depth technical documentation.

Evanston, Illinois, United States

Responsible for facilitating all club purchases while ensuring that club assets are kept orderly and well maintained. Generally contributing to club leadership as a member of the club's exec board.

Kokomo, Indiana, United States

• Designed (SolidWorks) various mechanical robot parts such as sheet metal brackets, gears, bearing retainers, and shaft adapters to offer off-the-shelf part options to FIRST robotics teams. • Drafted over 40 technical drawings to communicate product details with customers and manufacturers. • Created a sheet metal “snap latch” product, collaborating with suppliers to ensure manufacturability.

Elkhart, Indiana, United States

• Filmed and edited promotional marketing videos for ETHOS' Lab in a Bag program.• Assisted in teaching hands-on lessons in STEM to youth in the Elkhart Community through GEARS Robotics Center and ETHOS summer programming.• Packaged educational STEM kits for use in Elkhart area schools.

Elkhart, Indiana, United States

• Contributed to all branches of the team during a five-year span where the team successfully won eight state championship titles and three international invitationals.• Designed, fabricated (CNC milling/3D printing), and tested mechanical systems to create highly competitive robots for each season.• Developed reliable and competitive autonomous programming featuring path following and computer vision algorithms along with intuitive teleoperated control that made use of sensor feedback to enhance driver capabilities.• Organized several community-based FIRST events with over 100 youth participants. • Documented design and software evolutions.• Acted as team spokesman for all five years.
