Ribbon Microphones
I’ve been working on designing and building a collection of custom ribbon transducer based microphones using woodworking, CNC routers, and 3D printing. The microphones are designed to fit seamlessly into an ordinary recording workflow with a unique sound and stunning aesthetics.

The Soundscape
My team for Collaborative Design (ENGR2250) was tasked with understanding the needs, wants, and values of Audio Engineers. After conducting over a dozen user interviews and co-design sessions, we designed a community oriented makerspace concept for amateur and professional audio engineers to connect and collaborate.

Walter the Waiter Robot
For the open-ended final project in Principles of Integrated Engineering (ENGR 2110), my team and I set out to build an autonomous food delivery robot. Over 6 weeks, I designed, fabricated, and tested the mechanical systems of the robot’s drivetrain and swappable modules.

Variably Dense Objects
To wrap up my coursework in Mechanics of Solids and Structures (ENGR2320), I designed and performed an experiment using uniaxial tension tests to determine the influence of infill pattern and density on the mechanical strength of FDM 3D printed parts.

Little Free Pantry/Library
For my Eagle Scout Project, I decided to build a little free pantry/library in my neighborhood in Georgia. Placed strategically at a school bus stop, the installation remains a cornerstone of the community three years later.

Font or Not
In Quantitative Engineering Analysis 1 (ENGX2000), I deep dived into linear algebra and principal component analysis. To wrap up my studies, I made an algorithm in MATLAB to distinguish between images of handwritten characters and computer generated characters.
