Work History

Sip Secure Senior Design Project

Senior Year
2025 - 2026

Currently developing a device focused on detecting drink spiking through electronic sensing methods. Responsible for embedded coding and electronics design including circuit development system integration and signal testing. Contributing to CAD modeling and mechanical layout of the device enclosure. Working within a multidisciplinary senior design team to refine prototypes and transition toward a finalized design.

Precision Machined Metal Clock

Junior Year
2023 - 2024

Machined a fully functional metal clock using manual lathe and milling machines. Achieved dimensional tolerances of plus or minus 0.001 inches across all critical components. Produced engineering drawings selected machining operations and followed machining safety standards throughout fabrication.

Automated Coin Counting and Sorting Machine Mechat

Mechatronics Junior Year
2023 - 2024

Designed and built an automated coin counting and sorting machine capable of dispensing coins on command from pennies through dollar coins. Led electronics and mechanical systems development including embedded coding control logic circuit setup wiring and soldering sensor integration and actuator control. Collaborated within a multidisciplinary team to integrate mechanical electrical and software subsystems. The final system featured a custom mechanical housing inspired by a Minecraft pig design.

Apple Watch Surface Model SolidWorks

Sophomore Year
2022 - 2023

Created a highly detailed SolidWorks surface model of an Apple Watch replicating exact geometry and design features. Applied advanced surface modeling techniques to capture complex curves fillets and aesthetic details. Emphasized dimensional accuracy and professional CAD modeling practices.

Arduino Based Motion Sensor System

Freshmen Year
2021 - 2022
