High School Project
In High School with the help of my robotics team, I constructed and programmed a robot capable of autonomously seeding, weeding, tracking, watering, and harvesting plants. A link to an article by WKBN can be referenced below.
Internship Project 1
Custom-designed mechanism designed to lift and lower a large steel plate in order to shield radiation technology when not in use. Course materials relevant to design were dynamics, stress and strain analysis, and CAD Design.
Internship Project 2
Non-invasive control box, which was custom designed and 3D Printed using ESD-safe filament in order to mechanically shut off a high-voltage supply if an operation standard was broken.
3D Printing Projects
Along with an extensive amount of prototyping experience, a couple of 3D prints that were designed and printed by me can be seen on this page.
Miscellaneous custom-designed woodworking tools
Custom printed, precision measured tool insert for a Milwaukee cordless drill

Continuous improvements such as weight savings for competitive edge
The catalog above outlines some of my work so far on the Youngstown State University Baja Team, where 10 students are given the opportunity to execute high-level engineering analysis with an emphasis on proper design iteration and intent. My responsibilities on the team include designing major components of the driveline, as well as design lead. So far we’ve set meaningful targets for this competition season and have made great progress to be a highly competitive team. Utilizing high level analysis techniques like Miner’s Rule for cummulative damage and ANSYS transient analysis we plan on manufacturing high performing precision parts this year. Last year we placed 9th place nationally, and we’re confident we will break into the top 5 this season. Through strong analysis and engineering work we’re able to compete with much larger and better funded teams.
