About
Iām a second-year Mechanical Engineering student at the University of Waterloo with a passion for curiosity-driven learning and turning ideas into reality. My projects explore several areas of engineering, focussing mainly on CAD, CAE, and robotics. When I'm not buried in coursework, you'll probably find me working on my latest project or on the pitch playing rugby.

Skills
I love making things
I've worked on a diverse range of projects, from simple electromechanical devices to complex CAD assemblies. Here are a few of my favorites.
Internal Cycloidal Actuator
Building a internal cycloidal actuator inspired by Aaed Musa's design and MIT's Cheetah.
Open Differential Assembly
Used SolidWorks to model and assemble a simple open differential with 3D printing tolerances in mind.
Dual-Axis Robotic Arm
Used SolidWorks to CAD model and print parts to assemble a dual axis robotic arm with an LED head attachment.
Water Rocket Parachute Deployment Device
Designed a nose cone attachment in SolidWorks to enable parachute deployment at peak flight altitude. Developed a timer mechanism using a toy timer and calibrated based on rocket flight testing to ensure timely parachute deployment.
Rope Break Dynamometer
Constructed a rope break dynamometer using Tetrix and other common household materials to analyze the torque speed curve of the motor. Calculations were done in Excel.
Mechanical Keychain
Used SolidWorks to 3D model the keychain parts with incomplete technical drawings. Assembled as a keychain in SolidWorks Assembly. Utilized manual machining which included: the lathe, drill press, 3-axis mill. Also tapped screw holes and assembled by hand.
Brushed DC Motor
Constructed a brushed DC Motor using upcycled materials like cardboard, Powered by a 9V battery. Soldered coil to commutator and tested continuity of solder joints with multimeter.
