Engineering Portfolio
Mechanical Engineering at Georgia Tech — propulsion, materials research, space robotics, and rapid prototyping.
Mechanical Engineering Lead — NASA L'SPACE Program
Led the mechanical architecture for a lunar rover optimized for cryogenic exploration in Permanently Shadowed Regions (PSRs). Scope included a high-torque percussive-rotary drill for volatile extraction and a passive thermal control system to safeguard core infrastructure.
Delivered a structurally optimized rover engineered for extreme lunar terrain. The design enables closed-loop power via regenerative fuel cells to sustain operations through the lunar night and shields sensitive avionics from catastrophic freezing in 40K environments.
Materials Engineering Intern — Department of Energy, Fermilab
Decreased surface contaminants in superconducting materials used in particle accelerators at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory.
With the best oxidation technique, 20% of surface carbides were eliminated, theoretically improving material performance and allowing accelerator energy to be used more efficiently.
Mechanical Engineer — RoboJackets
Designed and machined a 500g autonomous bot to participate in robowrestling matches.
Will compete at regional and national levels, continuously iterating on fixes and match strategy.
Rapid Prototyping & CAD Design — Magnetic Charging Mount
Designed a mounting solution to secure a smartphone to a standard university bed frame (lofted). Optimized alarm proximity for the user while mitigating audio disturbance for roommates, within tight space constraints.
Achieved a functional interference fit supporting the phone and charger without adhesives. Reduced device drops to zero and successfully localized alarm audio — finalized within 2 iterations.
