I have logged over 1000 hours in OnShape learning parametric modelling and top-down design. Modelling full robots that consist of complex assemblies like continuous elevators, coaxial gearboxes, swerve modules. This has allowed me to develop a remarkably fast CAD workflow, allowing me to design a robust robot for the 2025 FRC season in only 3 days. The robot saw no mechanical failures at in-season competitions.

I solo designed and led fabrication for the robots of the 2024 and 2025 FRC seasons. Toast was the season robot and Kiwi the offseason robot (9993) for 2024. Kiwi was a 0-DOF Robot build with a strict size constrain of 20"x24" and a 1 week build time, despite this, Kiwi had a 4 piece autonomous routine, allowing us to win the offseason event 4R and NTX. The 2025 robot DepthCharge, designed in 3 days, had a 3 piece autonomous and propelled the team's world EPA percentile from top 40% to top 15%, a milestone in the team's history.
Through FRC, I also learned how to operate the Lathe, generate G-Code (Fusion 360) for CNC operations (Mach3Mill controlled) to manufacture parts for FRC robots.
For my senior project in High School, I designed a 4 DOF robot using BEAR Series actuators from Westwood robotics (LA). With a modular wrist and base, to hot swap end effectors, and place the robot onto drivetrains or turrets with ease.
