University of California, Irvine

Bachelor of Science - Mechanical Engineering Graduation: June 2017

Bachelor of Arts - Business Economics Cumulative GPA: 3.33, Mechanical Engineering GPA: 3.45 Related Courses: Advanced Biomems, Technical Communications, Advanced Manufacturing, FEA, CFD Work History

Mast Innovations - Electro-Mechanical Engineer Intern June 2016 - February 2017 Analyzed, designed, and developed solutions for engineering challenges involving respiratory mask production machinery. Met project objectives such as obtaining operational information, improving reliability, and conducting maintenance by the production deadline.

Used Solidworks to generate electrical schematics, 3D models, and machine part engineering drawings

Troubleshot, improved, repaired, and maintained machinery. Hired professionals, conducted production stud- ies with customers, and redesigned parts to increase efficiency, durability, and user friendliness. Ensured modifications to machinery maintained maintenance feasibility. Designed and fabricated a pressure testing system prototype to be used as part of a medical device.

Sized valves and pumps, designed the electrical circuit, and ensured code compliance with UL508A and NFPA 70. Helped fabricate prototype and make electrical connections Design Infini - Wheel Design Engineering Intern April 2016 - September 2016 Created, modified, and developed solutions for automotive wheel and wheel accessory CAD designs.

Used solid modeling, surface modeling, and 3D sketching techniques on Solidworks to design and modify CAD models of automotive wheels and accessories to meet performance specifications and SAE compliance

Coordinated with customers to ensure their wheel designs qualifications were matched in a timely manner Projects & Related Experience

Datsun/Nissan Restoration and Modification Projects Transformed inoperable cars into reliable vehicles for daily and track use and by improving performance, reliability, and safety with engineering concepts, parts fabrication, and research.

Conducted CFD analysis on turbo pipe tee intersection to reduce turbulence and fabricated improved turbo pipe, resulting in a noticeable performance improvement

Worked with several types of engine sensors such as air flow meters, crankshaft angle sensors, oxygen sensors, temperature sensors, and throttle position sensors to troubleshoot engine failure and provide driver with live engine data

RC Rock Crawler Conversion Kit - CAD and Design Engineer April 2016 - June 2016 Designed and manufactured a simple and affordable RC vehicle conversion kit compatible with Maisto RC 1/12 scale rock crawlers, enabling the vehicle to climb 7” tall stairs and traverse 5” deep water. Recorded all test methods and protocols in the engineering documents and conducted engineering reviews.

Created accurate Solidworks assembly of vehicle for stair climb simulation. Designed suspension shock ex- tenders and longer suspension links using the simulation to ensure sufficient ground clearance when stair climbing. 3D printed suspension shocks extenders and suspension links.

Conducted failure analysis on a suspension link of a design iteration and a cost analysis of the final product. Advanced Manufacturing Robot Fish - Project Manager April 2016 - June 2016 Led a team to designed a lifelike, waterproof, and affordable robotic fish to compete autonomously in an underwater race against other teams.

Managed team by delegating tasks to team members, meeting deadlines, and maximizing testing time

Control system consisted of recycled parts from previous engineering projects including a programmable arduino board, rechargeable battery, servos, and switches

Designed all casings, fins, and moulds on Solidworks and 3D printed designs to reduce prototype costs Technical Skills

Solidworks Technical Documentation FEA Patran/Nastran MS Office Ansys (Fluent & Aim)

MATLAB Engine Controls Electrical Circuits Product Development Milling/Lathing 3D Printing
