Featured Projects

Bulls Racing Machining and Manufacturing Lead

FSAE Racing Car in Action

Became a Design Lead at the beginning of the 2025 season. Work with every subsystem on the car to help make sure that their designs are manufacturable. As well as assisting in the development of the parts.

Technical Specifications

  • Chassis: Steel space frame construction
  • Weight: Under 500 lbs total vehicle weight
  • Suspension: Double wishbone front & rear
  • Performance: Placed 10th in skid pad competition

Key Contributions

  • Designed multi-piece Carbon Fiber Mold mold for undertray on FSAE Car
  • Produced specific tightly toleranced components for the car such as sprocket, intake, flanges, and jigging system for suspension K-Point.
  • Developing custom tooling for the FSAE Car

TEACHING FELLOW CLASSMATES

Advanced Welding Work

With a large background in manufacturing I have begun structuring a course to help pass along my knowledge to my fellow teammates. Also, while having conversations with my professors I have been asked to give oral presentations based on my real world experiences in the manufacturing field to help give a perspective on how to design components.

Personal Projects

1997 Ford Ranger

I have a 1997 ford ranger that I bought with a blown up engine, after some research I discovered that I can fit a small block 302 inside of the engine bay with minimal work. So I bought a donor and rebuilt the engine and transmission, completely rewired the truck, and now I'm working on a custom 4 link suspension system for the rear end.

Counter tops and Carpentry

I am a carpenter by trade and I have been in the family business for almost 10 years. I have done projects for companies like Mid-Florida Credit Union as well as Publix grocery stores. I also tinker with small personal projects as well as holiday gifts.

2004 RM 125

2004 RM 125 Motorcycle

This was my first personal mechanical project. I stripped the bike down to the bare frame, put a new top end in the motor, and then rebuilt the bike from the frame up. To this day it's a ripper
