Hello! I’m Matthew King, a third-year Mechanical Engineering student at the University of Florida, minoring in Physics. I actively engage in campus life as the Mentorship Chair for ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers), a member of TPED (Theme Park Engineering and Design), the Sigma Chi fraternity, and the University’s Rock Climbing Club. I’m proficient in SolidWorks, MATLAB (my personal favorite), C++, Microsoft Word, and PowerPoint.Projects:Children’s Developmental Toy: Collaborated to design a toy enhancing coordination and reaction time. Coded in C++ using Arduino components; final model 3D printed via SolidWorks and OnShape.Straw Dispenser 3D Model: Individually designed a functioning straw dispenser in SolidWorks and successfully pitched the design in a final report.2048 Algorithm:Developed a MATLAB program to analyze a screenshot of the 2048 game, updating the board based on player input while tracking the score.Theme Park Attraction Model:Collaborated on designing an attraction’s track and train using LUMION and SolidWorks.Outside of engineering, I’m a passionate Gator fan and love attending sporting events, especially football and basketball. Originally from Valrico, Florida, I also support the Buccaneers, Rays, and Lightning. I enjoy a balanced lifestyle, from video gaming and music (with a passion for listener experience and sound quality) to competitive sports, rock climbing, weight lifting, and competitive fishing—an activity I embraced for about eight years.
