My team designed a mechanism for Vidir Vertical Storage Solutions to load 2,500 lbs. products into their storage carousels. We built and tested a prototype to validate our design.

Our team designed a powertrain that uses planetary gears to safely transmit power in the UMSAE Baja vehicle. We created a 3:5 scale model using FDM 3D printing.

I learned how to apply practical tolerances to a design and became proficient in communicating design intent using Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T).

I learned about stress and strain in composite and multifunctional materials such as carbon-fibre reinforced polymers (CFRP). Topics included anisotropic elasticity, failure criterion, and design philosophies. For my final project, my team designed an 8-ply carbon-fibre shaft, and I used ANSYS to conduct finite element analysis (FEA).

Designed and fabricated a highly adjustable 3D printed microscope mount used for imaging the entire surface of amphibian embryos. Nine microscopes are arrayed in a spherical formation around an imaging stage to create whole surface images of objects anywhere from 0.5 mm^3 to 60 mm^3 in size.

After being contracted by FeedFlo on a couple of projects, I joined full-time to lead the mechanical re-design and ramp up manufacturing of their feed measurement sensor.

After presenting at the Top 20 and Top 5 Finale, FeedFlo was announced as winner of the Startup TNT Summit VIII Manitoba Division in November 2023.

This included adding a new three-point hitch, fertilizer box, ground-driven metering drive, parking legs, and a fresh powdercoat paint job.

I designed custom parts in SolidWorks and Fusion 360, and 3D printed end-use parts for clients.

I sold 3D printers to customers across the world using eBay, Amazon, and my own Shopify e-commerce store. I also offered servicing of 3D printers - diagnosing issues and resolving them for customers.

Working closely with other mechanical engineering students, I designed and built the electrical system for a 3D printed powered upper body exoskeleton, and programmed the controls in Arduino IDE to operate via joystick and myoelectric sensors attached to the user. I modelled and 3D printed the enclosures for the microcontroller and joystick, with emergency stops integrated into each.

Unfortunately, I am unable to share photos of any projects that I was involved with.

In order to reduce natural gas usage, I implemented a system to automatically adjust the heat of the beverage can warming machine based on the dewpoint temperature in the warehouse. This ensures that the cans are heated to the dewpoint temperature prior to storage in order to prevent condensation, but not unnecessarily overheated. My co-worker and I developed the system using empirical data and thorough validation.

I machined custom wooden pieces with a DIY CNC router, a custom enclosure, and a homemade cyclone dust collection system. I used Fusion 360 CAD & CAM for designing models and generating toolpaths for the CNC.

I built a reinforced drain plate with zinc primer and powdercoat finish.
