Overview:
Designed and prototyped a custom E Ink display solution for Ingenico credit card readers. The project involved translating client requirements into manufacturable designs, fabricating prototypes using laser cutting and industrial lamination, and iterating based on client feedback throughout the development process.

Skills & Tools:
CAD design (AutoCAD), laser cutting, industrial lamination , prototype assembly, client communication, cross-functional collaboration, design for manufacturing

A handheld medical device labeled 'Sensify' in purple text, with two buttons on top, mounted on a black stand with a spring mechanism.

Overview

Served as Mechanical Tech Lead for Northeastern’s Product development club Generate, guiding a team of 5 mechanical engineers in developing a proof-of-concept modular VR controller system. Provided design critiques, manufacturing guidance, and hands-on prototyping support for custom 3D-printed housings that integrated complex PCB assemblies, haptic feedback mechanisms, and a magnetic connector system for swappable tool modules. Collaborated with electrical and computer engineering teams to deliver a functional prototype.

Skills & Tools: Team leadership, design for manufacturing, design reviews, 3D printing and rapid prototyping, CAD review (OnShape), and electromechanical integration

Lichtenberg Fractal Burning Machine

Personal Project
July 2023

A metal box containing electrical components, wires, and terminals on a white table outdoors.
A piece of wood with a tree branch burned or carved into it, creating a detailed silhouette of several tree branches.
Electrical transformer with colored wires connected to it, housed in a gray metal box, mounted on a light gray surface.

Overview

Repurposed a microwave transformer into a high-voltage circuit to create fractal Lichtenberg figures in wood. The electrical discharge follows the path of least resistance through the wood grain, producing tree-like branching patterns. Implemented multiple safety features including remote switching to mitigate high-voltage hazards during the burning process.

Skills & Tools: High-voltage circuit design, electrical safety systems, risk assessment and mitigation, enclosure fabrication
