CAD and Manufacturing
Has worked in various manufacturing environments in multiple stages of product development from design and evaluation to actual manifestation using materials such as PLA, Wood, Acrylics, Carbon Fiber, Aluminum, Steel, and Brass. Familiar with digital design programs such as Solidworks, AutoCad, Onshape, and Prototrak all using Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing standards in accordance with ASME Y14.5-2009 and ISO B8888 international standards. Have actually implemented these designs using hardware such as mills (manual and computer guided), lathes, bandsaws, laser printers, 3D printers, and various hand tools
Stirling Engine
Designed and manufactured a 30+ piece custom component heat engine which reached over 2400 RPM
Constructed by hand and use of mills (prototrack and manual), lathes, and band saws from various metals including stainless steel, steel, aluminum, and bronze
Functions via heating the rear cylinder which causes movement of two pistons to ultimately drive the flywheel

Electric Racecar Accumulator (Battery)
Helped to implement a 480V accumulator divided into an upper secondary used to manage the pack as well as distribute power and a lower primary used to safely house and monitor cells in a 72S 8P configuration. Personally worked on the CAD design and manufacturing for both as well as several PCB boards including the DC-DC and Interface

Chest Mounted Search and Rescue Light
Created a PCB and accompanying case using a 3D printer and PLA to function as a portable, rechargeable light using two CREE LEDs powered by one 18650 with recharge built in. Has multiple on board modes including low power, strobe, and regular

Tolerance Stack Up of Above Stirling Engine
Used GD&T and Engineering Drawing Creation and Examination as well as Solidworks to create a virtual model, a worst case scenario analysis was created of the Stirling Engine CAD Assembly to verify if under a pure in tolerance manufacturing, there exists such a combination of parts such that it does not function
