Projects
Tear Drop Camper Project – Personal Project
- Modeled the camper body, frame, and axle/suspension mounting in SolidWorks with fully dimensioned drawings for fabrication.
- Used SolidWorks SimulationXpress to analyze frame stresses under load; iterated the design to reduce weight by 15% while maintaining target safety factor.
- Designed integrated 12 VDC and 120 VAC power systems for off‑grid operation, including load calculations and component selection.
- Selected and installed a rubber‑ride axle matched to camper weight and load limits to improve ride quality at highway speeds.
- 3D‑printed and iterated numerous components (interior brackets, fixtures, etc.) to ensure fit and function.
