Previous Projects

Surround Strap

For my senior design project, I collaborated with a group of other mechanical engineers to create a belt that allows the deaf and hard of hearing to feel directional sound in video games. Since the deaf and hard of hearing do not get the same directional indicators from directional sound that most people do, they are at an unfair disadvantage. The surround strap sought to provide a solution to this problem.

Artimus Robotics

I worked for Artimus Robotics as a Mechanical/Electrical Engineering Intern in the summer of 2021. While there I worked primarily on building the program you see in the video on the left where we can see the soft actuators' self-sensing capabilities in real-time. The program could also log high-speed signals for failure and lifetime tests and automatically perform data analysis.

ITLL Capital Asset Inventory

One of my projects as an Engineering Support Student (ESS) at the CU Boulder Integrated Teaching and Learning Laboratory (ITLL) is managing our multi-million dollar capital asset inventory. Specifically, I use our inventory management system, SNIPE, to log information on all capital assets in the building. I track all information about each asset that allows us to know the identity, location, status, warranty, and history of all capital assets.

ITLL Usage Statistical Analysis

One of my projects as an Engineering Support Student (ESS) at the CU Boulder Integrated Teaching and Learning Laboratory (ITLL) was creating a program in Matlab to analyze data of hundreds of thousands of student entry card swipes and computer logins to determine building usage patterns and optimize building staffing schedules.

UV Sunglasses Experiment

This class projected entailed using LabView, and an NI USB-6002 data acquisition device (DAQ) to find to what extent each of the 4 major market sunglasses protects your eyes from harmful UV light. A custom experiment was performed and statistical analysis was done using MatLab. Click below for the project poster, Matlab code, and raw data.

EmergenTek

I worked for EmergenTek as a Robotics Engineer. EmergenTek is a startup company founded by Gary Marshall in 2018 with the goal to create and sell a device that retrofits onto any firetruck ladder control panel that fully automates the process of ladder placement using a series of actuators, saving time during emergencies and saving lives.

Kinect Project

In an effort to attract more customers and learn skills a bit outside my scope, I worked on an interactive window display for the non-profit, PVNET Education & Emerging Technology Center. The goal was to use the Microsoft Kinect V2, along with Autodesk Maya and Unity to display an animated character on a big TV screen that follows the movements of the people who pass by. This project was unfortunately halted due to COVID-19.

Engineering For The Community

This is a continuation of a class project that cut short due to COVID-19. We enjoyed the project enough to want to compete it even after the class ended. I am working remotely with a group of 4 other engineers to help André Houssney, the owner of Jacob Springs Farm, automate the filling up of water tanks that provide water to the entire farm, including the main house. By reading pressure sensor data from the water pipes to a Particle Photon WiFi board, André will have full control over the water level in his tanks directly from his smart phone or he can toggle into automated mode to "set it and forget it".
