Worked as an entry-level machinist in a fast-paced, production environment. Interpreted engineering drawings to determine design intent and maximum allowable tolerance stack-ups

Team 29 & 30- Drivetrain Team/ Drivetrain Team Lead• Managed a team of 7 student-engineers• Made top-level design decisions for the powertrain of our next racecar • Provided design insight and performance reviews in weekly one-on-one meetings with team members.• Pursued the sponsorship of, and maintained communication with our team’s gear manufacturing and heat treatment sponsors• Utilized SolidWorks to design motor and gearbox mounting geometry for our electric racecar• Used FEA in ANSYS Workbench to optimize part geometry. Decreased weight in a stiffness driven assembly from the original design by 1.57 pounds while maintaining a theoretical max deflection of under 0.005”• Created and optimized tool paths for the production of the mounts using HSMWorks• Utilized 3-axis, 4-axis, and 5-axis Haas mills to manufacture parts with up to .0005” tolerances• Operated a CMM machine to verify final dimensions of parts were within designed tolerances• Measured directional compliance of mounting system after installation; the result was within 10% of the theoretical model and the system performed as expected at competitionTeam 28- Manufacturing Team• Designed and MIG welded together a cart with a bail-release braking system• Manufactured mounting brackets for many components in our car’s aerodynamics package

• Identified inefficiencies in the assembly line of large-slab scissor lifts • Designed a pneumatic circuit to sequence the actuation of pneumatic cylinders• Prototyped an automated solution for the handling and inspection of welded links• Manufactured and assembled a half-scale model with moving parts for proof of concept• Utilized principles from Jidoka and lean manufacturing

• Used Microsoft Excel to analyze and organize price data• Quantity analysis and pricing of construction materials and labor for various projects• Communicated conclusions and recommendations to clients, contractors and architects• Drafted proposals and attended meetings with clients to develop business

• Utilized CAD to model a frame and sprocket mounting system in a pedal-powered submarine• Used 2-axis mills and lathes to machine parts for a test frame based off of our CAD model• Tested the ergonomics of the system using a welded-together test frame
