My work across multiple companies, where I’ve combined engineering, manufacturing, and problem-solving to drive innovation.
At Nth Cycle, my work blended hands-on manufacturing with analytical CAD modeling, directly supporting the company’s core tech development. A significant part of my role involved CNC toolpathing and fabrication, ensuring the precise production of PVC, PP, and acrylic components for both prototype and commercial-scale systems. Operating a 4’x8’ vacuum CNC table, I developed and executed over 50 custom Fusion toolpaths, maintaining tight tolerances and quality standards. Beyond machining, I tackled solvent welding, epoxy work, and custom jig solutions to retrofit and refine in-house technology and perform various feature tests.
One of my key projects involved developing a simplified fluid flow model of Nth Cycle’s core technology to analyze how expanding the cell stack would impact the rest of the system. I also collaborated on design for manufacturability (DFM) and design for assembly (DFA) initiatives, optimizing in-house production and standardizing processes to shift assembly from the engineering design team to a dedicated team of plant operators. From modeling to machining, my work played a direct role in refining and scaling the company's cutting-edge electro-extraction technology for commercial deployment.
During my time at Alloy Enterprises, much of my work focused on designing demo parts that showcased the unique capabilities of the company’s novel manufacturing process. One of my most significant achievements during my six-month co-op was pioneering the ability to apply external texturing to as-built parts, even for complex, inorganic shapes. This breakthrough expanded design possibilities and included textures such as male and female knurling, floret patterns, diamond-like mesh, among others — all developed using Ntopology and SolidWorks. I also worked on lattice structure implementation for thermal applications - above is a simple cube example that was CT scanned and cross sectioned.
Beyond creating demo parts for trade shows and prospective customers/investors, I collaborated directly with engineers from various companies to educate them on this cutting-edge manufacturing technology. I also assisted in redesigning their components to align with our manufacturing constraints. Unfortunately, due to intellectual property protections, the 10+ customer projects I contributed to cannot be shared in this portfolio.
