Work History

Design Team Lead/Lead Manufacturing Engineer

Project LUDO (Capstone Design Project)
Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Daytona, FL
08.2024 - 05.2025
  • Worked on a 4-member team to create a system to manipulate the given terrain with a novice user and exchangeable manipulators
  • Designed and manufactured a robotic system comprised of over 50 machined aluminum parts and 70 3D printed parts
  • Worked with ROS to control and simulate the system

Design Engineer/Programmer

Electronic Brass Instrument (EBrass)
Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Daytona, FL
01.2024 - 05.2025
  • In a 3-member team, created an electronic alternative to a functioning brass instrument using an Elegoo Mega board with Arduino IDE to control sensor inputs
  • Using a brass mouthpiece, the system could output a range around 4 octaves, with the starting frequency taking variance from the input of an audio sensor and key presses

Lead Design Engineer

Robotic Hand Prototype
Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Daytona, FL
01.2023 - 10.2023
  • As part of the Advanced Humanoid Robotics Lab (AHRL) design team, designed a robotic system to mimic the movements and abilities of a human hand, with precision controls
  • ·The system is controlled using a series of pulley lines that are run through the interior of the fingers to create tendon-like contraction along each of the joints, giving each finger 3 independent points of motion.
