Future Projects

Clay Ball Minigun

This is a passion project I started a few years ago before I got my 3D printers. I have a lot of different CAD designs already modeled, but I haven't built any prototypes yet. I will probably redesign the system once more before I actually build anything. Essentially it's just a rapid-fire toy gun that shoots biodegradable clay sling-shot ammunition.

Dragonfly Ornithopter

This is a research project one of my classmates pitched to me (inspired by the dragonfly gunship from the movie Dune). We plan to create something next semester in our Aerodynamics class. Hopefully, a research paper will follow!

Machine Learning?

I'm currently trying to teach myself machine learning through online courses. I haven't started any projects yet, but I'm sure I will do something cool in the future.

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.
