Designed a yaw control system to prevent the nacelle from rotating freely
Utilized numerical methods to simulate a vehicle's path with several variables
Solved partial differential equations to simulate heat transfer in spherical objects
Simulated, researched and developed improvements to solve corrosion on a dumbbell
Dumbbell FEA and Corrosion Mitigation with SOLIDWORKS
THE GOAL
Develop an environmentally friendly solution to the corrosion of a dumbbell.
Research the manufacturing process and develop a new process that minimizes material waste.
Design an integrated recycled plastic handle that will reduce the corrosion rate without sacrificing the nominal strength of the bar itself.
SUMMARY OF SKILLS
SOLIDWORKS CAD & FEA
Research & Development
Material Science
Mechanic of Deformable Solids (MODS I & II)
Autonomous Card Dealing Poker Robot
THE GOAL
Create a robot that can deal cards to up to 8 players in a game of poker and deal the 5 'river' cards, both face-up and face-down.
The robot uses C++ pointers and arrays to keep track of each player's balance and decisions so that no chips are required.
This robot successfully makes facilitating a game of poker much easier and efficient.

Who am I?
I am a 3rd year undergraduate student at the University of Waterloo pursuing a degree in Mechanical Engineering. I chose this profession as I am passionate about developing, designing and fabricating innovative solutions to any problem. Outside of engineering, I love camping, sports, and cooking—more about my outside-engineering life below.
