Professional Experience
Safran Landing Systems — Ajax, ON
Aug 2024 – Aug 2025
- Conducted lock link stability analyses for the MV-75 landing gear program using ADAMS multibody dynamics
- Performed ground load calculations (ground handling & landing conditions) and delivered technical documentation used to inform structural design and stress teams.
- Designed and implemented a Python automation tool to streamline load-analysis pre- and post-processing, reducing manual engineering effort and cutting workflow time by 60%.
- Validated and enhanced legacy engineering tools (e.g., gas spring models), increasing reliability and standardization across the Performance & Dynamics group.
- Drove continuous improvement by submitting 21 IP (Improve) initiatives, exceeding the annual target by 7×; one submission was nominated for Idea of the Month at the site level.
Nanz Pharma — Pickering, ON
Jun 2023 – Sept 2023
- Maintained and created design qualifications and installation qualifications for Air Handling Units (AHU) and Rooftop Units (RTU), ensuring compliance with Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) standards from governmental agencies in a pharmaceutical context, to be submitted to the government for review.
- Employed AutoCAD to create technical mechanical and electrical drawings, resulting in increased accuracy of engineering drawings and improved efficiency of the Regulatory Affairs (RA) department's validation process for the manufacturing plant.
- Demonstrated expertise in dealing with various standards, including ISO, ASTM, and NEMA by integrating them into company-wide Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and preventative maintenance documentation using QT9 quality management system (QMS) software.
- Contributed to the design of a large scale pharmaceutical manufacturing product by sourcing and specifying various parts, including a high shear pump, that enabled the first ever production batch of povidone iodine at the company.
FSAE Competition
University of Toronto Formula SAE Racing — Toronto, ON
Sept 2022 – Present
- Led a team of nine in developing the drivetrain system and successfully integrated with other sections of the car, resulting in 1st, 5th, and 6th place victories in Formula SAE competitions in New Hampshire, Michigan, and the Czech Republic.
- Designed and optimized mechanical components, such as sprockets and mounts, using both hand calculations and ANSYS Finite Element Analysis to achieve mass reductions of over 40%
- Conducted DFMEA on various components, such as driveshafts and sprockets, resulting in harmonic and fatigue analysis to ensure the reliability and durability of the components.
- Designed a compact planetary gearbox for hub-motor integration, including gear-ratio optimization, bearing selection, and spline design using KISSsoft and ANSYS.
- Utilized analytical methods and first principles to determine heat loads and dissipation, developing a MATLAB cooling simulation and STAR-CCM+ heat-transfer model to optimize thermal performance.
- Analyzed real-life testing data to provide feedback for Transient lap simulations and force load cases, enhancing MATLAB simulink model accuracy to less than 7% error.
Certifications
- Certified SOLIDWORKS Professional in Mechanical Design — Dassault Systèmes — Dec 2022
