Engineering Projects
I've honed my technical skills over a variety of engineering projects. These projects range anywhere from coding and simulations to physically prototyping and producing robots.
Kobe the Launching Robot
UCLA Mechanical Engineering's capstone project was to develop a robot that would locate and interact with wooden cubes without the use of wheels and user input. My team of 5 Mechanical Engineers developed "Kobe," which picked up and launched the cubes. Due to circumstances with COVID-19, my group was unable to physically assemble the rover in person, and instead simulated its motion on Matlab Simulink.

3D Printed Guitar Accessory
I spearheaded the development of this 3D printed guitar capo that fulfilled my need for a device that quickly allowed me to play different guitar tunings. After three iterations and market research, my team and I finished the working prototype that has no equivalent on the market.
3D Printed Rubber Band Car
To learn Solidworks and test the limitations of 3D printing, I created a rubber band powered vehicle. Using basic Solidworks modeling, I was able to develop a functioning vehicle that traveled a total distance of 15 feet using a single rubber band as its source of power. Through this project, I also learned the fundamentals of FEA and how to condense a project into an engineering drawing.
