After College

Bus Timetable Display

I moved to Germany for work where I take the bus everyday. I was tired of missing early buses and waiting on late ones, so I called the public transit API on a Raspberry Pi. While I was at it I put Spotify on there too.

Valentine's Day Gift

I had a few months left on my Adobe subscription after college, so I took a cute picture, extracted the lines in Illustrator, and found out the local library had a laser cutter. Made my own engraved picture display.

Supercharged Fog Machine

In college I fogged out our entire apartment as a prank. It was slow and took forever but it was worth it. My roommates hated it. So naturally, if the opportunity ever arises again, I need to be able to do it like a professional.

Peeler Arm

These are copper coils that weigh thousands of pounds. It takes at least a ton of force to straighten them. We needed peeler table with no room for a peeler table, so I came up with my own solution -and name :). Then I designed, welded, plumbed, and wired it.

Hot Tin Dip

A fully automatic air knife system, designed and fabricated by myself. Each wing is about 200lbs.

Packaging Line

A huge project to get a coil packaging line running from nothing — including managing communication between three separate PLCs together so they could talk to each other, and all of that wiring. That’s also me with one of the maintenance guys, rigging the line up.

College

Formula Electric

I was the suspension lead for our formula electric team. I designed and fabricated the first working suspension in 3 years while leading and teaching a team of 15 students. 4 hub motors, 600V battery, 80kW total power output.

Infinity Pong Table

I was in an engineering fraternity in college: Triangle. We had a lovely makerspace with 3D printers, a CNC router, laser cutter, and more. So I took a semester to build a beautiful, techy table to see what I could do with everything available. For me, this was an art project.

Electric Boat

Senior design project. Got to make a sick boat — 20,000 RPM on 12S LiPo batteries.

Gain Controller Reaction Wheel Pendulum

The last class for my electrical minor. Hard work, but really fun.

Hoverboard Electric Wheelchair

A month left in junior year and classes were slowing down. My frat had random wheelchairs lying around, and hoverboards are fun. So I put them together.

April Fools

Hobby Lobby sells really cheap helicopters.

Internships

Door Seal Applicator @ Tesla

I designed and prototyped a semi-manual door seal applicator for future Model Y medium output assembly lines.

Sliding Boat Display @ Brunswick

My very first internship! I learned a lot here, and my last project was to build a motorized sliding display for a mini expo, where I worked with the UI team.
