Projects

During my years of experience, I've undertaken many projects that have furthered my love for engineering. Here are just a few from school, work and my personal life.

University Projects

MATLAB Carnot Cycle Project

Using MATLAB, created a program that can analyze a number of factors about the work and heat rate of an Ideal Carnot Cycle. Helped develop an interest in coding and a love for thermodynamics.

Coke Can Stirling Engine

Designed a rudimentary Coke can engine in Soldiworks and then built it as a final project for MEE120. The device included a flywheel, a heat source, a make shift piston using a balloon, as well as a wire crankshaft.

Engineering Ethics Study: Hyatt Regency Walkway Collapse

Studied the Hyatt Regency Walkway collapse for my Engineering Ethics course. Helped me gain an understanding for the importance of building codes, engineering societal expectations, and the importance of clarity within design work.

Rheinmetall Internship Projects

Lynx Tank Solidworks Modeling

Made an accurate 3D model of the famous Lynx OMFV for presentational purposes. Took over 2-3 days of fully modeling and reiterating.

Camera Module and FOV Modeling

Modeled the camera and FOV spread of the Trailblazer vision system that mounts to various Rheinmetall vehicles. Learned much about infrared cameras and 360° situational awareness technology.

Mk93 Production Floor Fixture

Designed a fixture that helped production floor workers assemble the Rheinmetall Mk93 mount. Improved general workplace ergonomics.

Camera Module Custom Tripod

With another intern, spearheaded the design of a new fixture to present Rheinmetall cameras modules at AUSA 2022. Estimated cost of the project was $125,000. Learned about sourcing, receiving quotes, and strengthened my teamwork, design and leadership skills.
