About Me
I am a student at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign transfering to the University of Illinois at Chicago to pursue a mechanical engineering degree. My love of engineering stems primarily from automobiles and small aircraft and now with my desired major I can pursue a career in motorsport.
At UIUC, I’ve expanded into new areas including two-stage rocketry, avionics, and engineering design projects. This portfolio is a place to highlight my work and document the skills I’m developing in CAD, electronics, and more. I am excited to keep exploring, learning, and work on some awesome projects.

CAD Design
40%
I have a good foundation in fusion 360 from coursework and have taken on a couple projects in solidworks include a engine assembly and studying to get my certificate.
Automotive
40%
I have been working on cars for the better part of 3 years now and have learned a extensive amount about automobiles. I can confidently take apart anything on my 2016 ford focus ST and replace or reinstall that part.
Robotics
10%
I have hands-on robotics experience through avionics and embedded systems work, including sensors, microcontrollers, and mechanical integration. I understand control basics and system behavior. I rated myself at 10% because I want to advance in projects on my own and not with help.
Electronics
15%
I have a solid understanding of circuits, microcontrollers, wiring, sensors, and basic PCB concepts. I can prototype and debug hardware systems effectively. I gave myself 15% because I want to improve in PCB layout, and because I have a lot more to learn.
Research
60%
I am skilled at learning new technical material, analyzing data, finding patterns, and applying research to real engineering problems. My academic and project experience have helped me think critically and synthesize information. I chose 60% because I am still developing deeper research abilities—literature mastery, modeling, and producing formal technical documentation.
Finite Element Analysis
30%
I have done a few FEA's and believe I can only get better at them the more I practice. However because I have only done about three varients of FEA I think 30% is accurate
Programming & Automation
40%
I understand programming fundamentals and can build automation tools, integrate APIs, and write problem-solving scripts. I am comfortable in Python and have experience with JavaScript through web development. I rated myself at 40% because I want to improve my algorithmic thinking, learn advanced data processing, and structure larger engineering software projects.
My Projects
Solidwork Certification
Achieved a Solidworks Certification to prove my knowledge of the software.
FEA and CFD analysis on modeled system
A CAD model using solidworks of a vehicle to test efficency and suggest and support an improvement.
4 cylinder engine rotating assembly
A project to gain skills in other CAD software in this case solidworks.
Rocket Filter (FEA)
Finite element analysis on a rocket filter to study random vibration behavior during flight.
Web Developement
This portfolio, built to document my work and practice applying engineering and web tools. As well as a few others.
