Engineering experience
CAD automation, product-model revisions, engineering systems work, test support, and material-review processes in a regulated product environment.
A rapid replacement-part effort that returned planting equipment to service while the production component was unavailable.
Hands-on agricultural work paired with practical CAD, printed tooling, equipment repair, and repeated field validation.
Selected projects
Technical work
I rebuilt the front-wing frame mount around new chassis hard points, used topology optimization to remove inefficient material, and verified the manufacturable result under a 150 lbf vertical load.
Case studyI led the research, specimen design, sponsor coordination, fabrication, testing, and analysis for a controlled comparison of bonded carbon-fiber inserts and welded steel joints.
Case studyI built a Windows application that used the SolidWorks API to automate Go/No-Go inspection gauge-block models, reducing a repeat CAD task from roughly 15 minutes to 3 minutes.
Case studyI designed and built a working desktop CNC mill around standard aluminum extrusion, a water-cooled spindle, servo motion, and extensive 3D-printed structure.
