About Me
I am a fourth-year Engineering Physics student at the University of British Columbia with a focus on mechanical design and robotics. Through design teams and project work, I have gained hands-on experience in CAD, prototyping, fabrication, and testing. I am currently seeking co-op and internship opportunities where I can continue to learn and contribute to meaningful engineering work.
Experience
Aircraft Team Member
UBC Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (UAS)
September 2026 - Present
- Collaborate with a 60+ member team to design and build a new autonomous UAV each year for the AEAC and SUAS international competitions.
- Develop airframe structures using carbon fibre composites, machined aluminium, and 3D-printed parts.
- Designing the suspended landing gear and the propeller motor and ESC mounts for the carbon fibre spars.
Powertrain Team Member
UBC Supermileage
September 2025 - August 2026
- Collaborated on the design and optimization of powertrain systems across the engine and drivetrain subdivisions to maximize vehicle efficiency.
- Designed and modified CAD assemblies for vehicle subsystems, including PCB enclosures and revisions to the cable-actuated braking system.
- Contributed to concept generation and weighted decision matrix evaluation for a drivetrain redesign, and assisted with ECU tuning and testing.
Mechanical Engineering Team Member
Chem-E Car UBC
September 2024 - August 2025
- Designed SolidWorks parts and assemblies for the drivetrain and chassis, iterating through 3D-printed prototypes to optimize manufacturability, rigidity, and weight.
- Developed the motor, gear, and shaft system and integrated it into the chassis for reliable power transmission and precise alignment.
- Designed the chemical reaction and battery chambers for secure containment, ease of assembly, and sensor integration.
Projects
The Scorpion: Autonomous Competition Robot
Lead mechanical engineer on a four-person team that designed, built, and competed a fully autonomous robot in UBC's ENPH 253 competition. Designed the drivetrain, chassis, and a four-degree-of-freedom arm, and developed a claw-mounted LiDAR system for precise object pickup.
Machined Phone Stand
Machined an adjustable phone stand from aluminum and brass using the waterjet cutter, mill, and lathe.
Closed-Loop Motor Speed Control
Built a closed-loop motor speed controller from discrete analog and digital components, using optical sensing, digital counting, and an integrating amplifier to hold a DC motor at a set speed.
