Seeking to build a career in mechanical engineering that combines technical skills, teamwork, and continuous learning. Eager to contribute to innovative engineering solutions that deliver real-world impact.

• CSWA

Crane Project | ME 201

• Collaborated with a team to design, model, construct, and test a lightweight crane system meeting load, stability, and efficiency requirements.
• Developed 3D models in SolidWorks and performed FEA stress analysis on laser-cut acrylic beams.
• Fabricated components using laser cutting and 3D printing techniques.
• Programmed crane operations with Arduino.

Drone Structural Optimization Project | SolidWorks, ParetoWorks, FEA

• Optimized a multi-load drone component using SolidWorks and ParetoWorks. Reduced total mass by over 60% while ensuring structural safety across critical load cases.
• Conducted topology optimization targeting a 30% volume reduction. Performed parametric design studies to refine key geometric features like fillets and structural dimensions.
• Evaluated displacement (URES), Von Mises stress, and Factor of Safety (FOS). Balanced performance against asymmetric loading conditions such as hover-lift and tilt-translate profiles.
• Analyzed manufacturing feasibility. Identified trade-offs between computationally ideal topology results and practical production constraints like molding and multi-axis machining.
