Computer-Aided Design (CAD)

I have a lot of experience in CAD! I've been using Solidworks professionally for 4 years, and I am currently learning Siemens NX, ANSYS, and Revit. I also have exposure to Inventor (high school robotics team). See some of the drawings and simulations I've done below! I've also used Solidworks extensively for my school projects.

I've been doing some freelance CAD work for a rapid-prototyping/patent firm called Petrus Solutions for the last 4 years. I'm usually contracted out to model consumer product ideas in SolidWorks and create 2D drawings for use in patent applications. I've aided in the creation of 18 patents to date! Unfortunately, the patents I've done are sensitive to public viewing at this time, but please check out my GD&T and school projects!

GD&T

I took an elective course called Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing (GD&T). The class was based in Solidworks, where I drafted detailed sketches of mechanical parts that could be machined by a manufacturer. Click the icon to the left to see some examples!

FEA

I am currently taking an elective course called Finite Element Analysis (FEA). The class is based in ANSYS and uses simulation software to calculate stresses, deformation, and safety factors in mechanical parts. Click the icon to the left to see some examples!

About Me

Hi! I’m a mechanical engineer with a passion for building cool things—whether it’s a humanoid robot, a hydroelectric RC car, or a trebuchet that launches softballs! I earned my B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Weber State University in 2023, where I also conducted research on humanoid telepresence robotics and experimental fluid dynamics. I’m especially drawn to hands-on design work and love seeing ideas come to life in SolidWorks and on the shop floor. Outside of engineering, you’ll probably find me on the tennis court, watching a great movie, or planning my next travel adventure. I’m always up for a new challenge that lets me blend creativity with technical problem-solving.
