UNIVERSITY ROVER COMPETITION
My senior project, and the immersion that cultivated my love for design - I had the fortune of being part of an interdisciplinary team of 30, with backgrounds in Comp. Sci., business, geology, electrical engineering, and mechanical engineering. On this team I took the opportunity to gain my first exposure to working with carbon fiber, water jetting, 3D printing, Arduino, Raspberry Pi... to name a few.
​
I found my place in the robotics sub-team, designing and building two major components: the rotating base and the arm's wrist.
AUTOCAD:
AUTOLISP & DCL
I have developed a strong foundation in programming using AutoLISP. By writing routines, I'm able to automate small tasks and greatly simplify large ones.
​
The drawing of utility poles in bulk can take a tremendous amount of time. Due to the repetitive nature of the task, it's easy for drafters to make simple mistakes. I created a routine which interacts with the drafter via several dialogue windows, making the process simple, efficient, and - as something the department at my employment spends a great amount of resources on, dare I say, lucrative?
STAIRCASE DISPLAY STAND
My girlfriend wanted a small bedside stand to place a few stuffed animals and decorations. Compounding a request from the S/O with a few sales on Milwaukee tools yielded a solid design with surface area worth at least 3 bedside stands.
​
This was an incredibly fun project consisting of plenty of geometry, wood dust (with a face mask), and beautiful power tools.
