Aerospace Company | Aerospace
Performed virtual testing of an aerospace system for use in space, evaluating harmonic vibration, random vibration, and shock per RTCA DO-160G standards. Modeled the system in SolidWorks and analyzed the model in ANSYS Workbench.
View project sourceCentral Arizona, AZ | R.J. Bacon Design | Residential
Modeled the thermal effects of the Central Arizona desert climate on a new home design with a thermal envelope of nearly 60% glass. Performed a simulation incorporating conduction, convection, and radiation to understand interior temperature variations based on historical weather data.

Designed, built, and installed retractable maintenance walkways used to service projection cameras for the interactive Primordial ride. The walkways lower for servicing and raise to a stowed position during ride operation to remain hidden from riders.
View project sourceGlenwood Springs, CO | Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park | Sports & Recreation
Provided mechanical and control engineering to upgrade the Cliffhanger roller coaster. The upgrades included a new control system and eddy current braking to enhance safety and rider experience.
View project sourceSynerTech Automation | Food & Beverage
Collaborated with Synertech Automation to design and engineer an End of Arm Tool (EOAT) for robotic egg palletizing. The tool lifts egg stacks, handles interlayer dividers, and manages empty pallets.
View project sourceTampa, FL | University of South Florida | Research Facilities
Designed an automated space simulation thermal vacuum chamber. The system features a chilling shroud and platen capable of maintaining precise temperature specifications with programmable vacuum and temperature parameters.
View project sourcePurple Sky Winery | Food & Beverage
Designed, built, and installed a PLC-based temperature control system. The system monitors tank temperatures against user-defined setpoints, operates coolant valves, and maintains historical data logs to support the winemaking process.
View project sourceSafety Management Services | Aerospace
Designed, built, and installed a custom, remote-operated saw to simultaneously cut energetic detonation cord to length for aerospace applications, incorporating specialized safety provisions to prevent activation of explosive compressed powder.
