I’ve spent much of my life making small, practical “odds and ends”—projects driven by curiosity, everyday problems, and the desire to improve things around me. These personal builds are often informal, but they reflect how I think as an engineer: iterative, hands-on, and grounded in real use. Below are a few highlights, including a sliding kennel signage system and a bike joring setup for dogs, each of which grew from noticing a gap and trying to design a better solution.
A series of custom sliding signs designed for animal shelters, developed through multiple iterations and fabrication methods. This project highlights hands-on problem solving, rapid prototyping, and designing for real-world use in community spaces.
A personal prototyping project exploring how to create a safer, more adaptable bike joring setup for dogs. Through testing and iteration, this build reflects the challenges of material choice, durability, and designing for multiple users.
