Mechanical Engineer at University of Colorado

Engineering student passionate about hands-on design, problem solving, and creating solutions that make a real impact.

About Me

I’m a mechanical engineering student at the University of Colorado with a passion for practical problem-solving and design. I enjoy taking concepts from idea to prototype, whether that’s in the shop, in simulation, or through collaborative team projects.

Outside of class, I’m always looking for opportunities to expand my skills, from CAD modeling and prototyping to data analysis. I’m especially drawn to projects that merge mechanical design with real-world impact.

In my free time, I enjoy golfing, building things, and exploring how engineering can shape the future.

Projects

Freshman Projects Class

Designed and manufactured a thermo-coupling device using readily avaiable Peltiar modules and heat sinks that produced enough power to charge a phone. I primarily focused on 3D modeling and rapid prototyping to generate accurate renders and prototypes.

Skills: CAD , 3D Printing, Testing

CU Boulder Formula SAE

Using an Emerson Micro Motion Flow meter, 3 peers and I optimized the cooling system for a Formula SAE racecar. Using this data we were able to calculate neccesary flow rates and cooling system geometry to extract the most power form the engine.

Skills: SolidWorks, Thermal Analysis, Design Optimization

SolidWorks Final Project

For my final project for my fabrication class, I designed and modeled a complete skateboard in SolidWorks using hand taken measurements from a physical board. I utilized Solidworks techniques that I learned in class to translate real-world dimensions into an accurate 3D assembly with detailed components and renderings.

Skills: MATLAB, Thermodynamics, Data Analysis
