Building at the intersection of engineering precision, hands-on fabrication, and applied design.
I'm a first-year Mechanical Engineering student at Binghamton University's Watson College, where my work spans ANSYS CFD simulation, carbon fiber composite manufacturing, CAD design, and combat robotics — all through active student engineering teams.
Outside of school I've spent years on automotive projects: rebuilding salvage vehicles, custom vinyl wrapping, interior upholstery, and electrical modifications. I'm drawn to systems-level problem solving and hands-on work that produces something real and tangible.
In 2022 I founded Cosmic PCs — a custom computer building business averaging 3–5 orders a week — which gave me early experience in team management, customer relations, and e-commerce operations that I still draw from today.
Operate and manage multiple FDM systems fabricating student-submitted parts. Monitor, calibrate, and troubleshoot 3D printers. Use laser scanning tools for reverse engineering. Manage print workflows via MakerLab database and assist students in preparing CAD models for additive manufacturing.
Design and test airfoils in ANSYS Fluent and Fusion 360. Generate refined meshes with inflation layers, calculate lift/drag coefficients, visualize pressure and velocity distributions. Manufacture components via 3K and 12K carbon fiber layups — mold prep, vacuum bagging, curing, and finishing. Key projects: Nosecone, Front Wing V2, 3D-printed female molds.
Designed frame, chain guard, and brake caliper bracket in Fusion 360 as part of master chassis assembly. Developed fabrication skills including MIG welding, notching, and surface prep. Created 3D-printed pre-fab mockups to validate fitment. First full chassis now complete.
Design, build, and compete with a 1lb antweight combat robot in a team of 3. Iterate CAD in Fusion 360, 3D print and machine components, and solder/integrate drive motors, radio systems, LiPo batteries, and weapon motors. Test and refine based on stress data.
Built and maintained cosmicpcs.us, averaging 3–5 custom PC orders/week through Instagram and Facebook. Supervised a team of 3 using Gantt Charts. Created per-client hardware parts-lists with cost/performance analysis. Tracked sales and inventory in Excel and produced social media build content.
Provide personalized electronics recommendations. Support device setup, troubleshooting, and configuration to reduce return rates. Monitor inventory, maintain displays, and use POS systems for transactions and price auditing.
Developed IRB-style research documents and semi-structured interview protocols. Transcribed interviews via Otter.ai, built a codebook using En-vivo and Apriori coding, and presented findings on AI in School Counseling to an academic panel.
Designed in Fusion 360, CFD simulation in ANSYS Fluent — refined meshes with inflation layers, lift/drag coefficients, pressure/velocity distributions. DXF for waterjet manufacturing. Full 3K and 12K carbon fiber composite layups with vacuum bagging and post-processing.
Full frame, chain guard, and caliper bracket in Fusion 360. MIG welded with 3D-printed pre-fit mockups. First full chassis iteration complete and assembled.
Directional g-force fans via Arduino + SIMHUB CAN-BUS, real automotive tachometer reading in-game RPM via Arduino Nano, custom 3D-printed mounts, VR-ready dual monitor setup.
Full CAD-to-fabrication: Fusion 360, 3D printing, machining, complete electronics integration with weapon motors and radio system. Competed and iterated through multiple design cycles.
Multiple salvage vehicle rebuilds, custom two-tone vinyl wrap, window tinting, alcantara door panels, custom leather steering wheel, full seat reupholstery, valved exhaust wiring, and aftermarket audio installs.
IRB-style protocols, semi-structured interviews, En-vivo and Apriori coding. Presented findings to an academic panel. Published research paper on AI's future role in school counseling.
