Tesla
Situation:
Need to update the Model 3 and Y Aeroshield.
Task:
Update my assigned part for the new integration requirements with suspension lateral link.
Action:
Worked with the chassis team and vehicle integration team to develop various prototypes of different aeroshield to meet requirements, settling on the cheapest one. Then meeting with supplier to do RFQ, DFM, and mold flow. Design work done in 3Dexperience.
Results:
Aeroshield for the Model 3 and Y updated for all the requirements.
Boeing
Situation:
Need to update the 777x-8 wings for the freighter version.
Task:
Update my assigned wing rib assembly for the new freighter loads.
Action:
Worked with the stress team to perform structural analysis on the ribs to see what parts of the geometry needed to be updated, integrated a new wiring harness into the assembly. Spoke with technicians and machinist to improve roller bolt installation time by adding more access for cotter pin install as well as creating the MBD to Boeing Spec in Catia V5.
Results:
Rib assembly for the 777x-8 wing updated for all the requirements.
Jemco
Situation:
Work in volume production of aerospace components.
Task:
Understand create volume CNC manufacturing methods to optimize production.
Action:
Setting up machines, inspecting finished parts, and designing tooling in NX10 for manufacturing and inspection to ramp up production.
Results:
Tooling fixtures that created helped dramatically reduce the amount of time it takes to set up parts for inspection.

Monocoque
Situation:
The monocoque is the single largest and one of the most important parts that is made for the car every year.
Task:
Lead and coordinate the process of designing and manufacturing a single piece composite monocoque.
Action:
Take the monocoque geometry and draft up tooling. Use tooling for resin infusion for composite tooling. Coordinate team lay up prepreg in pseudo clean room to avoid FOD. Vacuum bag autoclave cure.
Results:
Finished monocoque can be used by rest of team to integrate.
Structural Testing
Situation:
Need composite structures with strength equivalent to steel tubes for chassis.
Task:
Optimize and tune the most mass efficient composite structures as well as for doing RCA on issues in structural design.
Action:
Designed and ran three point bend, perimeter shear, and bolt tear out test on various composite structures in various different orientations to get a wide range of data. Studies to extract values such as stiffness, UTS, shear strengths, etc. Here is a tool I used for some initial calculations.
Results:
Using this data able to make better decisions and lay up schedules in terms of mass optimization.
Pedal Tray
Situation:
Need an ergonomic pedal tray for a formula style car, that is able to take 2000 N load normal to the brake pedal face.
Task:
Design, manufacture and assemble a pedal tray that meets the requirements in the most mass efficient way possible.
Action:
Parametric model designed in solidworks. I-Beam arm geometry using Alum 7075. FOS validation using ANSYS FEA. Parts milled and assembled, then tested and installed.
Results:
Car has a function pedal tray system, meeting all requirements while being light as possible.
Seat
Situation:
Create a seat that is ergonomical for 90% height drivers.
Task:
Design and manufacture a seat the meets all requirements.
Action:
Surface modeled seat and tooling. Manufactured mold and laid up and cured. Trimmed to final geometry and integrated.
Results:
Seat the meets the requirements of the team and driver.

FRC
In high school I was the director of engineering for my FRC robotics team. This job required me to be in charge of the design and CAD of the robots along side the manufacturing assembly and testing.
We were fortunate enough to win a world championship and be a division finalist during my time on the team.
I also created a set of youtube tutorials to teach the future members of the team how to design and CAD found here.

Kawasaki Ninja 400
I have a Ninja 400 that work on in my spare time, making upgrades and repairs.
FPV Drone
I also have an FPV drone which I made using off the shelf components.
