About

A versatile engineer across design, analysis, and the field.

My work moves between CAD, simulation, manufacturing, controls, and on-site installation. The range is the point: I adapt to the tool and the problem in front of me.

Mechanical engineering graduate (University of Manitoba, Co-op/IIP) with two years of industry experience at Manitoba Hydro across design and quality engineering. I build detailed SolidWorks and Inventor models, produce fabrication and installation drawings, apply GD&T (ASME Y14.5) and Design for Manufacturability, and validate designs with finite element analysis. Project work covers automated inspection and robotics, renewable energy systems, controls, and biomaterials, backed by a 3.76 GPA and Dean's Honour List standing.

Two internships at Manitoba Hydro covered both ends of engineering practice. In the Generation Design Department I modelled components, released fabrication and installation drawings in Autodesk Inventor, ran tolerance analysis and FEA, and supported field commissioning. Earlier, in quality engineering, I executed inspection plans, tracked non-conformances, and built AI document automation that reduced manual data entry across multiple active projects.

Versatility and Adaptability

  • Worked both sides of the design cycle at Manitoba Hydro: CAD modelling, drawing release, and FEA in design engineering (GDD), and inspection, non-conformance tracking, and process automation in quality engineering (CSD).
  • Produced production hardware in two CAD environments: SolidWorks for academic and capstone work, and Autodesk Inventor for issued Manitoba Hydro fabrication and installation drawings.
  • Delivered across four engineering domains in coursework: robotic inspection and automation, renewable energy systems, mechatronic controls, and biomaterials characterization.
  • Moved between design and field: released drawings, then supported installation and commissioning, resolving design-to-field discrepancies on site.
  • Combined mechanical work with software and automation: a CAD-driven robot inspection workflow, a Python navigation controller, and AI document automation in Power Automate.

Engineering Interests
