I design & test the next generation of hydrogen fuel cell products coming to market. My role is a mix of project management, design, and data analysis. I work with production, quality, and test engineers to bring designs to production through iterative prototyping and testing. I help create all documentation required to qualify a product for.

• I use CAD, FEA, and math to develop and design new technologies and draft the engineering drawings necessary to bring these concepts to life. At a high level, my work includes:
• Designing, prototyping, and testing an automated materials handling SCARA type robot with EOAT delivering material handling speeds twice as fast as previous designs.
• Developing tightly choreographed sequences for automated robotic production processes with respect to optimizing cycle times and efficiency.
• Earning buyoff from key stakeholders through well-received presentations and testing/validation procedures.
• Supporting the development of a novel EOAT designIn addition to my technical work, I took initiative to improve the onboarding process for junior engineers and interns by developing an onboarding process consisting of.

• Award Winning Fourth Year Capstone Project. I helped lead a team of fellow mechanical engineering students to achieve the following:
• Developed a drone using aerodynamics driven design principles.
• Conducted a high-level configuration study and then optimized a proposed candidate using XFLR, ANSYS, and SolidWorks
• Verified aerodynamic performance of the drone by building and glide testing a half scale prototype
• Awarded the John Weber Scholarship in Mechanical Engineering for excellence in an Aviation focused project.

• I used CAD and FEA software to develop and design new technologies and draft the engineering drawings necessary to bring these concepts to life. At a high level, my work included:
• Developing alternative injection molding technology to reduce costs by $0.5 million for PET injection units.
• Designing custom machines and solutions per customer requests.
• Prototyping first of its kind, manually operated molding machine to collect specialized samples compliant with material testing requirements.
• Supporting multiple simultaneous prototype products launches.

• Increased speed and improved handling performance of an IndyCar racing vehicle by designing dynamically controlled aerodynamic surfaces to optimize production of downforce and reduce lateral weight transfer.
• Designed and analyzed an Active Aerodynamic rear wing using SolidWorks and MATLAB by employing algorithms to select linkage dimensions for optimal force and motion transmission.
• Successfully managed project by delegating tasks, overseeing design process, and delivering detailed technical reports and engineering drawings.

Northern Ontario, Canada

• Completed a contract with a contractor retention rate of less than 40% due to grueling work and conditions, with daily effort being a similar order of magnitude as running half a marathon.
• Achieved 90-95% planting quality standards while working unsupervised for up to 12 hours.

Toronto, Ontario, Canada

- Elected Team Lead by vote - Coordinated a team of five students in drafting a conceptual design specification document- Conducted an open ended design cycle to develop disaster mitigation systems for addressing the effects of natural disasters on the Haitian agricultural sector. - Demonstrated the feasibility of these designs by developing CAD designs.
