Actuator center-of-gravity comparison
Compared the mass properties of two actuator assemblies in NX to support a design-viability decision.

Engineering Tools & Analysis
Engineering work that makes recurring calculations, design decisions, and technical information easier for a team to use.
2024
C-Ring Calculator
I recreated a Mathcad-based C-ring calculator in Excel to give colleagues a familiar alternative with the same functionality. I also created a user guide to support the transition.
2024
Fluid Property Macros
I updated Excel fluid-property macros to reflect revised handbook equations and guidance. A comparison document and updating guide helped colleagues understand the changes and maintain the macros.
2024–2025
Component Databases
Work on valve and actuator databases involved organizing component information for future design and selection tasks. The 2024 effort made progress but remained incomplete at that stage.
In 2025, I used drawings and NX models to document actuator material makeup and added that information to the internal database.
2024
Tool Baselining
I evaluated internal engineering tools as a first-time user, recording completion time and feedback. The work established a reference for usability and future comparisons.
The presentation reports approximately 32.33 hours on average across three baselined tools. This is a measured baseline duration, not a claim of hours saved.
Additional projects · LinkedIn & résumé
Supporting design decisions.
Requirements compliance
Reviewed drawings, NX models, and technical documentation against general requirements and recorded the compliance assessment.
Pressure-drop tool updates
Extended an Excel-based tool to support rough-wall pipes and Tee/Wye intersections at different angles.
Material S–N curves
Generated fatigue-curve information for aluminum under different manufacturing and surface-treatment conditions.
Tool documentation & actuator data
Organized tool revisions, limitations, and supporting actuator data so information could be reused across engineering workflows.
Engineering deviations · 2026
Assessed customer-requested design deviations and material substitutions, considering feasibility, technical risk, and potential effects on component performance.
