Mechatronics Engineering student at McMaster. I build robots, design mechanical parts, and work on nuclear tooling, ranked in ascending order of paperwork.
Tools I've used to build systems, break prototypes, and occasionally read the documentation.

From CAD files that crashed SolidWorks to mechanisms that survived hardware testing.
12-servo, 3D-printable quadruped designed in Fusion 360, exported to URDF and simulated in MuJoCo. A trot gait controller makes it stand, walk and turn on the spot, and drives the real servos through a PCA9685 board. Works flawlessly in simulation, where gravity is a tidy constant and friction never betrays you.
Proof-of-Concept double wishbone assembly engineered in SolidWorks to control dynamic camber and stabilize a 500 mL sloshing payload over a 33 m track run. Peak mechanical over-engineering for a straight-line sprint, but the kinematic camber curves are undeniable.
Engineered an ergonomic, weatherproof wheelchair storage module for a client with Spina Bifida. Achieved a 3.25:1 load-to-weight ratio with a 0.4 kg carbon-fiber-reinforced structure. Top 3 out of 200+ teams at the McMaster Design Showcase.
Built in 12 hours, which is roughly how long SolidWorks takes to open. Runs a real-time OpenCV hand-tracking pipeline that streams coordinate deltas over UDP to an ESP32, which turns them into tuned stepper pulses without jitter.
A live Python dashboard that calculates and displays earnings down to the microsecond. Built to quantify the exact monetary cost of a 45-minute meeting that definitely could have been an email.
Moves an iPhone's real GPS, not just the IP address like a VPN, to test location-aware apps: live map, scripted routes, and a geofence tester. Also great for convincing my mom I'm at the library and not the bar. Allegedly.
Prototyping, bench testing, and empirically messing around. Click to enlarge.
Organizations that handed me real, high-consequence hardware and have not yet asked for it back.
Passed the timed exam on parts, assemblies, and drawing views without resorting to sketch fixing or crying. VERIFY ↗
Designing custom wheel assemblies and suspension geometry for a 33-meter run. Total mechanical overkill to keep 500 mL of water from sloshing around, but it works.
My Accenture career lasted one orientation before the company was bought back by its former CEO. Since then: 8+ months learning nuclear is 10% tooling design, 90% paperwork. Performed ASD calcs and weldment FEAs, wrote FMEAs, and tested N299.2-rated tooling for Pickering and international CANDU sites.
Placed top 3 out of 200+ teams with a carbon-fiber wheelchair storage unit. Engineered a 3.25:1 strength-to-weight ratio and survived being cross-examined by skeptical P.Eng judges.
Equal parts statics/dynamics, embedded systems, circuit theory, and theoretical math that feels made up until you suddenly need it on co-op.

Sat through a 3-hour CAD exam modeling parts and complex assemblies just to prove I can align a mate without standard assembly errors.
Course on working with Claude Code, Anthropic's agentic coding tool: planning, reviewing, and steering AI-written changes instead of blindly accepting them. Mostly proof I can supervise something that types faster than I can read.
One page. Every bullet point had to fight for its spot.
The condensed version: nuclear tooling at Eclipse Automation, wheel and suspension design for Chem-E-Car, and legged-robot and vision projects. Fits on one page, unlike my SolidWorks feature trees.
