I have 6 years of industry experience as a mechanical engineer specializing in product design, 3D modeling, prototyping, drafting, and Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing per ASME Y14.5 Standards. I have a wide range of experience from small projects to high volume manufacturing product design, and testing to ensure the product will be successful and cost effective. I am also creative and work well with others to clearly define the goals and requirements while being open minded to innovative solutions.

I have made the most of every opportunity to study under expert craftsmen, inventors, product designers, doctors, and engineers to hone his ability to bring increasingly more complex new products to reality. This includes working with some of the foremost physicians tackling difficult challenges in current and next generation LVADs, artificial hearts, blood pumps, and other highly complex class III medical devices. Products I have designed and built are in Times Square, the Disney Parks, the Smithsonian, and implanted in people around the world. To date, I am named as inventor on a half dozen granted and pending patents, including core technologies in products for companies such as Baxa (now Baxter), Thoratec (now Abbott), and Covidien (now Abbott). I started my engineering training with a B.S. Engineering Degree, with a Mechanical Specialty from the Colorado School of Mines. I ontinue my education by working with many Industry & Trade Associations, University Programs, Business Groups and start-up Incubators. I also regularly attend major conferences, training programs, and other industry events in design and related fields including simulation & medical conferences specific to class III active implantable devices and blood pumps. My passion is to improve the world by blending user-focused design, tenacity, and old-world craftsmanship with an intimate understanding of the latest technologies. I exist at the intersection of the digital revolution, old world craftsmanship, and user-focused design. Which is why I always ask - what can I make for you? "… I am, and ever will be, a white-socks, pocket-protector, nerdy engineer — born under the second law of thermodynamics, steeped in the steam tables, in love with free-body diagrams, transformed by Laplace, and propelled by compressible flow. As an engineer, I take a substantial amount of pride in the accomplishments of my profession." - Neil Armstrong

My passion is product design; I love taking on challenging design problems and developing robust, cost effective solutions. I have 7 years of experience in mechanical design; in that time, I’ve worked on projects ranging from candle molds and custom guitar picks to exhaust manifolds and lube pumps. I’m proficient in 3D CAD design, and I currently use Fusion 360 for freelance work. Specialties: • Design for fluid flow: Optimized geometry for pulsed (like an exhaust manifold) and steady state (like coolant passages) flow conditions. Do not currently possess CFD analysis capability for freelance work, but have years of experience optimizing flow passages for high performance applications, and can apply that experience to any fluid design project. • Design for 3D printing: There is a common misconception that 3D printers can create any shape that can be imagined. While 3D printing can create shapes that are impossible with traditional manufacturing techniques, it has its own, unique limitations. Without a solid understanding of these limitations and how to account for them, 3D printing projects can become very frustrating very fast. • Design of mechanisms: Designing a system of parts that work together requires a considerable body of knowledge on top of simple part design. Assemblies must be robust against manufacturing variation, assembly variation, and have appropriate surface finishes in order to ensure that the parts will always go together and function as intended. • 2D drawings and GT&T: In most cases, the 2D drawing is still the legal document that defines the part; developing a drawing with a robust datum structure and proper tolerances is a critical part of turning an idea into a producible reality. Other proficiencies: • Design for sand casting: material selection, optimizing parting lines, core design. • Seal design: radial and face seal o-ring interfaces, as well as gasket sealing flanges. • Bolted joint design: proper bolt size and grade selection, grip length, thread engagement.

I am a motivated student working towards a degree in Biomedical Engineering at Cal Poly with a concentration in Mechanical Design. I am currently looking for opportunities to offer my services as a design engineer in any mechanical design or manufacturing projects. I believe my experience reflects my proficiency in mechanical design and engineering.
