Mechanical Engineering | Automation | Infrastructure
A portfolio for mechanical design, automation projects, internship work, and the server infrastructure that keeps the site online.
About Me
I focus on useful engineering work: mechanical systems that can be built, tested, maintained, and explained. My strongest work combines design thinking with hands-on implementation, from CAD models and prototypes to server-backed tools and documentation.
This page is set up so every future project can be dropped in cleanly. Each visual slot has a named placeholder PDF in /assets/documents/, making it clear what to replace when final photos, CAD renders, or diagrams are ready.
Resume
The current resume is available as /assets/documents/resume.pdf.
Featured Work
Project cards include a named PDF placeholder for the image, render, diagram, or drawing that belongs in that spot.
Capstone | Automation
Capstone system placeholder for mechanical architecture, book support, page handling, motion control, lighting, image capture workflow, and lessons learned from testing.
SolidWorks / CAD
Use this card for a polished assembly render, exploded view, drawing package, or design table example.
Mechanical Design
Summarize the problem, constraints, prototype decisions, calculations, validation results, and final outcome.
Homelab / Network
Document Cloudflare Tunnel, Nginx routing, authenticated admin access, Cisco ASA VPN planning, and service separation.
Prototype / Testing
Add a fixture photo, CAD render, test setup, or results graphic for a project where repeatability mattered.
Systems
Use this for a rack photo, network diagram, service map, monitoring dashboard, or backup plan overview.
Technical Range
SolidWorks, assemblies, drawings, tolerancing, material selection, prototyping, design for manufacturing, and design reviews.
Fixture planning, motion sequencing, sensors, camera workflows, repeatable tests, and documentation for future operators.
Requirements, calculations, failure modes, test planning, measured results, and practical improvement cycles.
Linux, Docker Compose, Nginx, Cloudflare Tunnel, basic auth, VPN-aware routing, backups, and service notes.
Experience
Replace with company, dates, responsibilities, tools used, measurable results, and production or design impact.
Highlight the strongest project outcomes: design decisions, what was built, how it was tested, and what improved between revisions.
Maintains this public portfolio and private internal services using Docker, reverse proxying, authentication, and network segmentation concepts.
Homelab / Server Projects
This public site is separate from administrative services. Internal tools stay behind authentication, VPN-aware routing, or private network access rules.
How I Work
Clarify the requirement, constraints, success criteria, and what evidence will prove the design works.
Model the system, compare tradeoffs, document assumptions, and keep fabrication or deployment practical.
Prototype the highest-risk parts first, then tighten the full system around real feedback.
Test against the requirement, capture results, and leave the next person with clear notes.
