about

about

I am a Mechanical Engineer with a strong drive to design, build, and refine complex systems across mechanical, electrical, and embedded systems. I have expertise in 3D CAD, finite element and flow analysis, PCB design and layout, and I have a strong background in manufacturing using manual and CNC operated mills and lathes. My skills also include performance testing, data acquisition and analysis, and embedded systems programming.

With a sharp attention to detail and a methodical approach to problem-solving, I excel at turning concepts into robust, manufacturable designs, working across teams to deliver reliable, real world solutions.

METHODS AND APPARATUS TO REMOVE TABS FROM MACHINED PARTS

Patent No.: US 63/483,471 Patent Pending

Issued: April 2025

Description: Developed a precision machining system that automates the removal of support tabs from aerospace components, improving surface finish quality and reducing manual post-processing time. This innovation enhances manufacturing efficiency and consistency in high-tolerance production environments.

Role: Designed the worksurface and safety mechanisms to ensure user protection and structural reliability, while leading performance validation through vibration testing, CFD analysis of the chip collection system, and FEA of all major structural components. Conducted detailed tolerance analysis on precision parts to support manufacturing, and later integrated the machine’s electronic systems to complete functionality.

One of the most significant design challenges involved reducing the weight of the ~300lb worksurface, which was initially necessary for structural support. After client concerns about weight and assembly feasibility, I re-engineered the part by adding weight reduction pockets on the underside, retaining nearly all of its structural integrity while improving safety, handling, and ease of integration.
