I take hardware from sketch to spec — CAD models, structural analysis, and manufacturable parts that hold their tolerances in the real world.
Who's building this
I'm a mechanical engineer who likes problems with a physical answer — where a sketch turns into a CAD model, the model gets stress-tested, and the part eventually shows up on a bench and either works or doesn't.
My background spans product design, structural (FEA) analysis, and design-for-manufacturing across prototyping and small-batch production. I care about tolerances, not just concepts — a good idea that can't be machined isn't finished yet.
Outside of formal projects, I spend time in the shop refining fixtures, prototyping with a 3D printer, and reading failure-analysis case studies for fun.

Selected projects
Topology-optimized a load-bearing bracket in ANSYS, cutting mass by 34% while holding the original factor of safety.
Designed and CFD-optimized a plate-fin heat exchanger for a 20% smaller footprint at equal thermal load.
Designed a tendon-driven gripper for irregular objects, additively manufactured for rapid design iteration.
Ran fatigue-life simulation on a control arm against real load-case data, flagging a failure mode before tooling.
