Welcome To My Portfolio
Who
As a mechanical engineering student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, I specialize in designing systems that integrate technical precision with visual refinement. My education has provided a robust foundation in engineering principles, and my approach is guided by the belief that effective solutions must balance functional performance with aesthetic coherence. I tackle challenges with a practical mindset, emphasizing intelligent material selection, efficient manufacturing processes, and structural integrity. To me, engineering is about creating solutions that not only solve problems but also resonate with end-users—because the most impactful designs are those that are both purposeful and thoughtfully crafted.

Algorithmic Stock Trading
2025
This Python-based market analysis toolkit emerged from a shared interest between me and my dad in algorithmic stock trading. Building off of of his starting point and existing data library, I have developed a program for testing out portfolio rebalancing strategies on previous market data. The system consists of 3 main parts. The first is historical data handling and preprocessing, this amounts to over 60 gb of csv data. Then modular strategy implementation and backtesting. Finally the results, performance analysis and data visualization. Current algorithm appliesa unique approach to modeling market structure across multiple timeframes, identifying patterns perceptually invisible to conventional indicators. Rigorous backtesting validates performance while protecting against overfitting risks. Extensive data visualization informed the development of this proprietary market behavior prediction method. Currently undergoing real-world testing, the system shows promising results across diverse market conditions.

Desalination Device
2024
This portable solar water purification system tackles water access problems in coastal Baja Mexico without reliable power. Built in a 250mm x 250mm weatherproof case, it combines membrane filtration with solar distillation principles from MIT's D-Lab and Italian energy research. The system produces 6 liters of clean drinking water daily using only sunlight, meeting WHO standards with 99.8% bacteria removal. Through careful material choices and simplified assembly, component costs dropped 60% while parts count decreased 40%, hitting the $300 manufacturing target. Field testing across different salinity and turbidity conditions proved its effectiveness for communities facing water insecurity.

Electric Skateboard
2022
This custom electric skateboard combines woodworking craftsmanship with practical engineering. The 2000W belt-driven system reaches 18 mph with an 8-mile range, all built for $450. The reclaimed wood deck features a carefully engineered flex pattern, paired with 3D-printed waterproof enclosures to protect electronics. Using a 5065 motor with modified firmware settings boosted torque 15% over stock configurations. The project showcases effective integration of mechanical design, electrical systems, and fabrication techniques.

Clothing Design
2025
This series of apparel designs merged creative work with tangible community impact. Working with brands like Hidden NY and institutions including USC and UW-Madison, each design connected with specific audiences while supporting charitable causes. The Langdon Hockey Invitational shirt raised $8,000 alone, contributing to over $15,000 in total charitable funds across all projects. User feedback shaped each design before production, ensuring both visual appeal and manufacturing feasibility. The work transformed everyday clothing into meaningful community support while maintaining professional documentation from concept sketches to final production specifications.

FPV RACING DRONE
2024
This racing drone modified a Diatone Tyrant S chassis to achieve exceptional performance. Custom 3D-printed housings protect the electronics while maintaining ideal weight distribution for precise control at speeds up to 85 mph. Careful firmware adjustments and control system tuning dramatically improved flight stability and responsiveness. By sourcing quality second-hand components, the build maintained professional-grade performance despite minimal cost. Comprehensive technical documentation enables ongoing refinement and potential replication of the design.
