Projects
Senior Design Project January 2018 – December 2018
Designed a fully functional interactive display exhibit of energy sources used by the railroad industry for the NC Transportation museum; making this the first interactive exhibit in the museum.
Proved the structural integrity and integrated a moving train into the design to reflect energy efficiency of each energy industry.
Aerodynamics Projects
Proved that pickup trucks get better mileage when driving with their tailgate up than down through computational fluid dynamic modeling.
Created a technical report about the aerodynamic advantages of adding a rear underbody spoiler to a race car using the computational fluid dynamic modeling. Analyzed the ground effect, which creates downforce on the car, caused by adding the rear underbody spoiler.
Junior Design Project August 2017 – December 2017
Designed and manufactured an automated compact vehicle that could climb a 45o incline and travel through a narrow course with sharp turns to cut wires at various height.
Proved the structural integrity and drivetrain efficiency of the vehicle using Solidworks Simulation and MathCAD.
American Society Mechanical Engineers Pentathlon Competition August 2015 – April 2016
Led the mechanical and technical design for UNCC’s entry in national robotics competition hosted by ASME; managed a team of eight against aggressive deadlines to deliver against challenging competition constraints.
Designed an automated vehicle with great maneuverability and an average speed of 15mph in addition to the ability to lift a weight of 10lbs as well as shoot a tennis ball.
Further proved the structural integrity of the said design through FEA Analysis of the chassis and drivetrain using Solidworks Simulation.
Professional Experience
Technical Design Lead – Timed Out Escape (Ballantyne, NC) June 2018 – present
Led coding and production execution for more than 10 escape room puzzles/props using automated logic controllers and external sensors
Enabled TCP/IP connectivity for props and established bi-directional integration with central controller system, enabling real-time status polling and remote triggering of puzzles.
Led and coached coworkers on coding approach, source code management, and integrating with physical prop elements and sensors.
Andritz Hydro – Quality Intern (Charlotte, NC) September 2016 – February 2017
Assisted the lead engineer to perform quality checks on various items delivered by the company vendors.
Digitalized the filing system for the ASME and ISO standards used by the company.
Assisted with cost estimates from conceptual design through construction and helped determine resources for projects based on cost estimates and budgetary constraints.
