my projects

Welcome to my project page, where you will find an assortment of personal, academic, and professional engineering projects that I have undertaken. From personal hobbies to academic assignments to workplace initiatives, this page showcases the diverse range of skills and interests that I bring to the field of engineering.

formula sae projects

JULY 2022 - PRESENT

Designed and implemented an ergonomics system to improve driver experience and performance in an endurance race event.
Conducted data gathering using an ergonomics rig to collect information on the driver's preferred driving position and dimensions.
Built a dashboard using SolidWorks and 0.05" aluminum to enable communication and control between driver and car.
Constructed a steering wheel design inspired by 'MOMO 12' and constructed with carbon PLA printed grips and carbon layup center + MDF for weight reduction.

Check out the UTFR Ergonomics Design Binder

Developed driver seats for both the main student vehicle and the monocoque using carbon fiber and expanding foam to fit drivers' dimensions and contribute to overall vehicle weight reduction.
Tested stability, durability, and driver recognition time for each component of the ergonomics system design.
Employed construction processes and considered constraints such as the accommodation of the 95th percentile male and 5th percentile female drivers.

gradient descent with java

NOVEMBER 2022

I developed a gradient descent project to optimize the parameters of a machine learning model using an iterative optimization algorithm. I implemented the project using object-oriented programming in Java, creating classes to represent the different components of the Gradient Descent algorithm to find the local minimum given a user inputted polynomial.

probe enclosure

AUGUST 2022

I designed a new enclosure for a 400 amp probe, which was an upgrade from the company's standard 200 amp product.

I approached the task with a focus on improving the design for assembly (DFA) and reducing setup time. Through careful study of the probe's functionality and a thorough analysis of its inner system, I was able to rearrange the components and create a new, highly efficient enclosure. I used Proto-case Designer software to design the 3D enclosure and successfully created a product that exceeded the company's expectations. My attention to detail and dedication to improving efficiency make me an asset to any engineering team.
