ABOUT ME
With a Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering through Arizona State University, and a passion to innovate modern technologies and designs, I strive to integrate into a team as a well-educated Mechanical Engineer, ready to take on the challenges and problems of the world's ever changing technological demands. I plan to accomplish this by using my skills in problem solving and evaluation, critical thinking, and open-minded trial and error. If you'd like to know more, keep reading or let's get in touch.
EDUCATION
My Studies
MECHANICAL ENGINEERING, B.S.E. ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY
August 2015 - May 2019
I earned my Bachelor's of Science in Engineering degree on an academic scholarship from Arizona State University in 2019. Throughout the four years of schooling, I took notable classes such as Engineering Mechanics, Mechanism Analysis, Heat Transfer, Manufacturing Processes, Control Systems, Finite Element Analysis and Computational Fluid Dynamics in ANSYS, and Computer Aided Design in Solidworks. Graduating summa cum laude from an ABET Accredited program, I believe I am fully equipped to integrate into an effective engineering team.
MY SKILLS
Tricks of the Trade
SOLIDWORKS
With over 8 years of Solidworks Design and Analysis experience, paired with a Certified Solidworks Associaite certification, I am able to efficiently and creatively design, adapt, innovate, and analyze models to create new, complex solutions.
MECHANICAL ANALYSIS
With an education in Mechanical Engineering, the ability to mechanically analyze a problem is second-nature to me. Stress analysis, thermal analysis, deformation studies, and mechanism design are just a few of the relevant areas of study that I have developed throughout my schooling.
RAPID PROTOTYPING
Combining the ability to rapidly and creatively generate unique designs, 3D print them, and analyze them for functionality and accuracy, my ability to generate one-of-a-kind solutions to problems is second to none.
MANUFACTURING
Skills such as shop tool know-how, CNC machining, mold-making, carpentry, 3D printing, and laser cutting are just a few of the manufacturing skills that I have acquired throughout my years of Engineering schooling and tinkering.
MY EXPERIENCE
Roles & Responsibilities
MANUFACTURING ENGINEER -Â SENIOR DESIGN PROJECT
August 2018 - May 2019
While completing my degree at ASU, I served as my team's Manufacturing Engineer in my senior design course. My responsibilities included Solidworks modeling of the entire prototype, analyzing and selecting manufacturing processes for each component, leading and delegating manufacturing processes, designing circuitry, and carrying out all thermal and structural analyses. I was responsible for delivering a working prototype at the end of the two-semester course.
FACILITIES MANAGER - NEW LIFE COMMUNITY CHURCH
June 2012Â - Current
While working as a facilities manager, I was responsible for managing the upkeep of the campus, overseeing multiple facilities employees and volunteers, coordinating work schedules and responsibilities, and communicating with all ministry leaders to further develop and maintain their respective spaces. A few notable accomplishments include assisting in facilitation of six campus remodels, designing and implementing multiple stage sets, streamlining employee/volunteer scheduling, and training multiple employees to assist in day-to-day facility operations.
MY PROJECTS
Design Portfolio
CAPSTONE SENIOR DESIGN PROJECT
Solar-Powered Autonomous Pool Skimmer
The solar-powered autonomous pool skimmer was designed to be an affordable, easy-to-use, and efficient method of skimming the debris from the surface of a pool. I served as my team's Manufacturing Engineer as a senior at ASU, where my responsibilities were to design a working prototype, and manufacture that prototype. Pictured is the prototype I designed and built. The project was a success, as we delivered a working prototype, while learning valuable engineering lessons such as best methods of manufacturing for certain scenarios, and receiving real-world analysis experience.
HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR DESIGN PROJECT
3D Printer Filament Extruder
Upon the completion of three high school engineering courses, I was tasked to design and develop a new product throughout the fourth engineering course. The product I designed and built is pictured: a machine that created 3D printer filament from stock plastic pellets. The purpose of this machine was for the average consumer to have the ability to quickly and cost-effectively produce filament for their desktop 3D printers. The project was successful, creating working filament for a fraction of the cost of pre-fabricated consumer filament.
