Welcome to my portfolio website! I am excited to share some of my personal projects with you.
Please take a look around, just put everything back how you found it.
This website looks amateur because it is!
I coded it myself.
I was on the Baja SAE team for my Senior Design Project for the 2025/2026 school year. Baja SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) is an international collegiate competition in which students design, build, test, and race an all-terrain single seat vehicle. The competition includes multiple dynamic events, including hill climb, rock crawl, and a four-hour endurance event.
In preparation for building a steel mountain bike frame, I have been practicing TIG welding. Here are samples from practices joints I did this fall.
I am learning to spray paint! Here are a few projects I painted recently, included a bike frame, a climbing helmet, and my Baja SAE chassis (done by Brandon Hays from Sendy Custom Shop)!
In Summer 2025, I spent a month studying under Doug Fattic, an internationally renowned frame builder. In my studies, I learned to design and build a custom steel lugged bicycle...
In January 2025, I began working under Nathalie Vriend in her Granular Flow Lab. The lab is full of incredible individuals, thanks in part to Nathalie's commitment to our hollistic and scientific success. Here is a non-comprehensive overview of what I did in the lab.
Spring Loaded Camming Devices (SLCD), or cams, work by translating a downward force into an outward force. Friction between the cam and the rock is the primary force that counteracts the weight of a fall...
In the Fall of 2024, I landed a job as a machine shop assistant for the MCEN 1025 class at CU, a freshman-level engineering class focused on introducing CAD modeling, engineering drawings, geometric dimensioning and tolerancing, and manufacturing methods to students...
My final project for MCEN 3030 Component Design was to make a drill powered tricycle. We took this project very seriously (just look at that paintjob!).
As an engineering student and trad climber, I had always looked at cams and thought “I could make this”. What better way to learn than the hard way?
How does drafting affect the power output required by a front, middle, and back rider in a paceline at varying speeds? Will a longer line of cyclists be faster at a given power output than a single rider?
A crack machine is a training device that emulates cracks in rocks, typically from finger to fist size. They are used to practice strength and technique for crack climbing outdoors...
Stronger, lighter, and cheaper are recurring themes when searching for a material to use in applications from biomedical to construction. In both of these industries, Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) has found its place across many industries...
Aluminum 6061 is one of the most widely used metals in consumer products. It is heralded for its affordability, machinability, strength to weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and versatility. It is used in car parts, soda cans, fishing reels...
For my final project in MCEN 1025, I was tasked with modeling and assembling an object in my house with a minimum of 3 components. This was the start of my focus on cam design as a part of my portfolio...
I've made some big updates to my website. The original version was coded from scratch, and I mean SCRATCH scratch. The current version uses a template from html5up.net. Now my site utilizes JavaScript and the code is (slightly) cleaner. Enter at your own risk! There is no way back!
THIS ENTRY IS INCOMPLETE.
Every college house has a few beers in the fridge. The most dedicated students may even have a separate mini fridge. The select few who take their beer as seriously as their education, inevitably, build themselves a keezer...
