Summary

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.

Experience

Manitoba Hydro, Generation Design Department (GDD)

May 2024 – Aug 2025

Mechanical Engineering Intern · Winnipeg, MB

  • Developed detailed CAD models and assemblies in SolidWorks, applying GD&T (ASME Y14.5) and Design for Manufacturability so parts were optimized for fabrication, precision, and compliance with design specifications.
  • Prepared and revised technical drawings, BOMs, and engineering reports; performed tolerance analysis and stack-up reviews to verify fit and function across mating components.
  • Designed and released the Long Spruce Generating Station proximity probe bracket and its installation drawing in Autodesk Inventor, specifying A36 steel weldments, CSA W59/W47.1 welding, fastener torques, and protective coatings.
  • Managed document revisions using Autodesk Vault PDM for version control and release tracking.
  • Conducted Finite Element Analysis to evaluate structural integrity, stress distribution, and performance under load for components and mounts.
  • Provided engineering guidance to field technicians during installation and commissioning, documenting findings and resolving design-to-field discrepancies.

Manitoba Hydro, Construction Services Department (CSD)

May 2023 – Dec 2023

Quality Engineering Intern · Winnipeg, MB

  • Executed Inspection & Test Plans (ITPs), QC record forms, and quality workflow processes in accordance with company standards.
  • Developed GIS-based field applications, optimized post-processing workflows, and improved spatial data accuracy.
  • Integrated AI models with Microsoft Power Automate to extract structured data from PDF documents, reducing manual data entry and increasing data-collection speed across 3+ active projects.
  • Identified and documented non-conformances, tracked corrective actions, and verified timely closeout to maintain compliance.
  • Standardized QC documentation and inspection procedures across projects through cross-functional collaboration, reducing review cycle time.

Selected Projects

Automated Cone Inspection System

MECH 4860, Engineering Design Capstone

An automated inspection cell for Northern Blower Inc. to replace a manual sheet-metal jig that left about 1 in 5 cones flawed. The system holds a ±1/16 in profile tolerance across roughly 40 cone geometries using a Fairino FR10 cobot, a Mitutoyo digital dial gauge, an adjustable 76 in centering table, and a CAD-driven SDK inspection workflow, validated with FEA inside a $30,000 budget.

Unicycle Navigation Controller

MECH 4342, Mechatronics in AI-Driven Robotics

A path-following controller for a nonholonomic unicycle robot navigating a known warehouse map. A* planning with uniform path resampling, heading-error speed scheduling, and near-goal deceleration reached 95 percent success on the nominal test and 100 percent on the stress test, against 35 and 30 percent for the provided baseline.

Eggshell-Alginate Microspheres

MECH 4360, Biomaterials Design

Development and characterization of eggshell-incorporated alginate microspheres as a low-cost scaffold for bone tissue engineering. Eggshell food-waste supplies bioactive calcium; the microspheres were fabricated by ionic crosslinking and evaluated with FTIR, compression testing, rheology, and electrospinning.

RED House Net-Zero Energy Retrofit

MECH 4692, Renewable & Sustainable Energy Design

A whole-home energy retrofit to make an existing Winnipeg house fossil-fuel-free. Solar PV, solar thermal, wind, battery and thermal storage, a biomass stove, and an EV raise the Renewable Energy Ratio from 20.1 to 99.9 percent and reduce about 7,688 kg CO2e/yr to near zero, for $86,699 against a $100,000 budget, with a positive 30-year cash flow.
