Who I am
I am a third-year UBC mechanical engineering student who is interested in mechanical design, automation, and manufacturing methods. I am also a team lead in the Formula UBC Racing design team. I lead the Steering, Brakes & Driver Controls sub-team, where I manage a team of 7 people designing and building the mechanical driver controls. In this team, we design and manufacture a student racecar from scratch every year, and compete at FSAE Michigan.
​​
I am always neck deep in projects, which is where I learnt all that I know. You can find those in the portfolio section.

I also like to believe I have a life outside of engineering, I really enjoy writing poetry, exploring abandoned places, and going on long drives :)
What I can do
What I have done
Pedal Box (Formula UBC)
I designed and manufactured a throttle and brake pedal system for the 2023-24 Formula UBC racecar. This time, we prioritized reliability and manufacturability heavily, leading to some very interesting designs that greatly reduced the number of parts.
Bolt-Action Aluminum Pen
I designed a premium quality pen to be made out of scrap aluminum that I found. I designed and machined the pen in a total of 6 hours. It accepts standard ink refills and I carry it with me everywhere I go.
CNC Router (Personal Project)
I designed and made a CNC router that could reliably machine hardwoods, and aluminum. It was designed to cost under 200$ to make. It machines hardwoods and soft metals great, but it is a little loud when taking big cuts in aluminum. I use it to make engraved gifts for my friends :)
High-End Food Service Robot (Competition)
I participated in a design competition in a team of 3 to design a full working model of a food service robot meant to be mass produced. We then presented our design which met all the requirements and was the 2nd cheapest out of 13 teams.
All my smaller miscellaneous projects
Anodized Titanium Chopsticks
Made on a lathe. Did you know Titanium can be anodized without any dyes or chemicals? All you need is electricity!
Custom Made Gear
One of many parts I had to make to fix up a broken mini lathe. I made it myself because it costs 129$ for a non plastic one.
Desk Toy
Steering Column Mount
This was one of my first projects. It was made entirely on a lathe out of aluminum. It makes a sine wave as it rolls.
CNC Machined Aluminum, Home anodized. This one did require some chemicals to anodize though.
