Mechanical Engineering Portfolio

Recent Mechanical Engineering graduate focused on design, prototyping, and hands-on problem solving.

I am a recent UTA Mechanical Engineering graduate with project experience in CAD, manufacturing, prototyping, and electromechanical systems. My work includes a senior design autogyro, a heavy-duty tow bar assembly, and a servo-actuated balancing platform.

Core Strengths

  • Mechanical design in SolidWorks
  • Manufacturing and assembly planning
  • Prototyping and 3D printing workflows
  • Technical documentation and presentations
  • Hands-on troubleshooting and integration

Featured Projects

These projects highlight my experience in mechanical design, manufacturability, technical communication, and building systems that work in practice.

Autogyro CAD model and prototype

Senior Design Capstone: Autogyro

Developed detailed SolidWorks CAD models for key autogyro components, including the canopy, fuselage, and airfoil geometries. Helped reduce total component weight by 32% through optimized print settings and material selection.

About Me

I am interested in roles where I can contribute through design, prototyping, documentation, and practical engineering problem solving. I enjoy taking a concept, turning it into a design, and working through the challenges until it becomes something real and functional.

  • B.S. in Mechanical Engineering, University of Texas at Arlington
  • Background in CAD, prototyping, and project-based engineering work
  • Interested in mechanical design, manufacturing, and entry-level engineering roles

Technical Skills
