PROJECT EXPERIENCE

 

Gearbox Design | Team of 6 | October 2025 –Present | Design a front differential to make a Baja vehicle 4WD

▪        Led and managed team by using MS Office & meeting planning to ensure deadlines were met.

▪        Developed CAD model using SOLIDWORKS to create a design to ensure functionality and fit.

▪        Analysis of the Factor of Safety for components to ensure the safety and durability of the product.

▪        Manufactured using CNC, Lathe, Mill, and other processes to create the final design.

 

Rescue Robot Design | Team of 8 | August 2023 – July 2025 | Design a rescue robot to help in disaster situations, such as a building collapse, keeping costs low to repair, manufacture, and assemble.

▪        Brainstormed various constraints by using criteria assessment, such as weight, dimensions, and cost, to ensure the project met performance and achievability.

▪        Developed refined sketches with dimensions and produced a CAD model assembly in SOLIDWORKS to confirm functionality and fit.

▪        Manufactured model with prototype materials using CNC and 3D printing to evaluate functionality in the real world.

 

Remote Control Vehicle Design | Team of 8 | Jan 2023 –June 2023 | Build a 20MPH remote-controlled Roomba.

▪        Manufactured and assembled parts using 3D printing and soldering to test real-world functionality.

▪        Tested using a 20-meter sprint to measure top speed (21 MPH), acceleration, and traction.
