Work History
Temperatur Sensor Project
Boston University (Self-Directed)
09.2024 - 12.2024
- Conceptualized, built, and programmed a fully functional device with a user-friendly interface, applying expertise gained from mechanical and electrical workshops.
- Leveraged CAD software (OnShape) to develop detailed 3D models for various device components.
- Manufactured components with precision using 3D printing and machining techniques to ensure seamless integration.
- Integrated and wired circuits featuring LEDs, sensors, and actuators, utilizing Arduino programming for effective instrumentation and control.
Tractive System Intro Project
Boston University Terrier Motorsport
09.2024 - 11.2024
- I researched and designed a low-voltage mock tractive system, incorporating key components such as a power supply, motor, motor controller, AIRs, shutoff button, and discharge circuit.
- I ensured the system met design requirements, including achieving a rotational speed of 10,000 RPM, proper component sizing, and implementing safety measures such as fusing and precharge/discharge circuits.
- I utilized professional assembly techniques, such as soldering and MOLEX connectors, to create a reliable and robust electrical system.
