Featured work

What I have built

Three of seven projects. Each one opens onto the CAD, the analysis, the build photos, and what actually broke.

OA-001

The Evren Phoenix controller beside an assembled ear piece fitted to a silicone ear model

Evren Technologies Internship

Cut electrode-pad fabrication time 85% and built ear-worn bioelectronic devices from prototype to assembly.

OA-002

Finished machined compressed-air engine held in hand, showing the aluminum base, flywheel, piston block, and connecting rod

Air-Engine Mixer

Machined a running compressed-air engine and engineered the attachment that turns it into a variable-speed mason-jar mixer, from raw stock through a full design-for-manufacturing package.

OA-003

CAD-modeled rocket prepared for wind tunnel testing on a rod fixture

Swamp Launch Rocket Design and CFD

ANSYS Fluent CFD on HiPerGator with drag within 15% of RASAero, validated on a dual-load-cell wind-tunnel rig.

About

Who I am

I gravitate toward engineering that ends in hardware — something you can machine, instrument, and break. The projects I have enjoyed most all started as CAD and finished on a test stand.

That runs from ANSYS Fluent and MATLAB on one end to carbon layup, a manual lathe, and load-cell rigs on the other. Doing both halves is the point: an analysis nobody validated is still a guess.
