ABOUT ME
I'm a Mechanical Engineering student at Purdue University with a 3.9 GPA, specializing in propulsion systems, CAD design, and machine learning applications. I've optimized complex engineering systems including resistojet propulsion and habitat designs, improving efficiency by 25-60%. Currently conducting research in Batch CFRO while developing expertise in NX, Python, and water filtration systems.
Bell Tower Desk Organizer
A bell tower desk organizer was designed and planned for manufacture as a Purdue themed product that combines a hammer stand, digital clock housing, pencil drawer storage, and a mounted nameplate featuring a CNC machined fountain. The project...
Purdue Hammer
An aluminum hammer was fabricated by machining a hammer head and handle from hex and round stock using manual milling, drilling, tapping, turning, threading, knurling, and finishing operations. The activity provided hands-on experience with...
CNC Nameplate
A CNC nameplate was manufactured from aluminum stock by generating and simulating Mastercam milling toolpaths for drilling, pocketing, contouring, and engraving, then machining the part on a Tormach 770M. The activity reinforced CNC programming,...
Miniature Engineering Fountain
A mini engineering fountain was manufactured from aluminum by combining CNC turning operations (facing, roughing, finishing, and a second setup) with follow on CNC milling to drill and pocket detailed features between spires. The project...
Audio Equalizer
A three band audio equalizer with an integrated power amplifier was designed, built, and tested to shape and boost audio signals in low, mid, and high frequency ranges using active filters, adjustable gain stages, and a summing amplifier. The...
Digital Alarm Clock
A digital clock was assembled by populating a pre etched PCB with through hole electronic components and soldering each connection to create a reliable circuit. The lab built practical skills in component identification, soldering quality control,...
Phone Holder
A phone holder was fabricated from plywood using CO2 laser cutting and a digital fabrication workflow to produce interlocking parts and a gear-based angle adjustment mechanism. The project provided hands-on experience with laser cutting...
Sheet Metal Pencil Holder
A pencil holder was fabricated from sheet metal using processes such as laser cutting, bending, riveting, and spot welding. The activity provided hands-on experience with fundamental manufacturing techniques commonly used in industry, including...
