Established and evaluated operating requirements for automated projector positioning against possible commercial and custom solutions to inform future product development. Methodically quantified positioner characteristics to assess viability with Virtek projectors. Automated assembly and quality assurance workflows by integrating metrology equipment and software with Virtek laser projectors to increase user productivity and accuracy.

Supported first-year engineering students by answering questions and clarifying course concepts to improve academics and understanding. Also created evaluated and provided feedback on student work.

Automated empty carton handling using a 6-axis UR-10e arm to prove feasibility. Conducted FEA using SolidWorks to structurally optimize new assemblies. Designed track-mounted carrier rotator assembly in SolidWorks for painting processes. Produced detailed part and assembly drawings in SolidWorks for R&D.

Designed, manufactured, and built intricate systems using SolidWorks, prototypes, and quantitative analysis, to produce reliable robots capable of winning multiple events. Directed team development of competition robot using project management software to track progress, producing competitive robot designs under strict 4-week deadlines. Created CAD training materials for new members to prepare for future competitions.
