Designing precision automation systems at the intersection of innovation and manufacturability.
Background
Two co-op terms designing automation equipment, from concept sketches to production-ready assemblies. I like figuring out how to make things work faster, fit tighter, and break less.

Automation Cell Design
High-speed 5-component assembly for wearable insulin devices
Challenge
Design a production line assembling 5 components into insulin delivery devices at unprecedented speed while maintaining micron-level precision.
Approach
Iterated pallet design to 80μm stack-up, implemented blended motion profiles, standardized 20% of stations for repeatability.
Impact
Achieved 4x throughput over previous generation with 40% reduction in calibration time.

Offline Feeder
Automated bulk-to-tray feeding with delta robot integration
Challenge
Create a flexible feeder handling 10+ part types from bulk storage to precisely located trays with minimal downtime.
Approach
Developed tray-traffic concept in DraftSight, designed custom O-ring tooling, modeled full system in SolidWorks.
Impact
Increased rate from 45 to 180 PPM while reducing footprint 10% vs previous system.

Tray Handler Feeder
High-precision pick & place pitched as an ATS product line
Challenge
Design a standardized tray handler station fast enough to keep up with high-speed assembly lines while maximizing equipment lifespan.
Approach
Redesigned robot paths, sized servo drives for optimal lifespan, implemented electronic camming for smooth motion.
Impact
3x output increase from baseline, 40% longer equipment lifespan, pitched successfully as ATS product.

About me
Hi there
I'm a second-year mech eng student at Waterloo. Two co-ops in and I've learned how to make drawings that people can actually read, automate assembly lines, and (most importantly) glue things together properly.
I like sappy textbook dedications, penguins, and the trim feature on SolidWorks. Reach out if you feel the same way.
