Portfolio
Leaf Walker: A Better Forestry Platform
Problem: Reduce ground impact and improve maneuverability in constrained forestry pathing.
Solution: Developed virtual pivot steering and a bogey-lift mechanism validated through iterative prototyping.
Mechanical engineering, steering geometry, sustainability, iterative design
Tie Rod Tab (UBC Baja SAE)
Problem: Design and manufacture a compact steering linkage mount with reliable load paths.
Solution: Delivered a competition-ready tab with manufacture-focused geometry and review documentation.
Automotive design, CAD workflow, GD&T awareness, design review
SOLIDWORKS 3D Sketch Exporter and 2D/3D Previewer
Problem: Existing workflows were too slow for high-iteration CAD-to-simulation export cycles.
Solution: Built a C# add-in with multi-select export, filtering, axis remapping, and rapid preview validation.
C#, SOLIDWORKS API, tool architecture, automation
Walk in the Parkour Pathfinding Demo
Problem: Random-walk and A* routes were technically valid but not engaging.
Solution: Modeled jump constraints and sampled state space to generate more feasible procedural routes.
Algorithm design, systems simulation, C++, Java, Python
Timberline Trail System
Problem: Trail growth required route, terrain, and maintenance decisions that stay sustainable over time.
Solution: Contributed to planning and build execution with stewardship-first choices and long-term maintenance focus.
Project management, path planning, field execution, sustainability
DrinkBot: Automatic Dog Water Refiller
Problem: Automatic refill needed reliable sensing, enclosure robustness, and user-readable system behavior.
Solution: Integrated strain-gage signal handling, electronics packaging, and custom display behavior into a practical prototype.
