My Projects

Skills Utilized: Soldering Woodworking 3D Printing Engineering Sketches In winter 2023, I started building a custom electric guitar from scratch using particle board. This project is ongoing, and updates will be shared as progress continues: Process So Far: Shaping the Body: Using a jigsaw, I cut the guitar body out of particle board. The body comprises two laminated boards bonded with wood glue. Small holes were drilled in specific areas to allow wiring to pass through. I sanded the edges with fine-grit sandpaper to ensure a smooth finish and avoid splinters. Fig 1. Guitar sketch on particle board Fig 2. The two wood boards are laminated using wood glue Fig 3. Cavity for controller and wirings on the back of the guitar Installing Pickups: Humbucker pickups were mounted on the guitar body. These pickups reduce electrical noise and interference and ensure clean signal transmission from the strings. Next Steps: Install the output jack onto the guitar body.

During my co-op term in the spring of 2024, I spent eight months working as an R&D engineer for Mustang Survival. My primary focus was testing the inflation performance of portable flotation devices (PFDs) in cold water environments. Below, I've outlined the typical daily procedures involved in these tests: Morning Preparation: Adhering to ISO standards, the PFDs are packed in the morning and placed inside a Thermotron chamber for five hours. This simulates a cold-use scenario where a user might wear the PFD for an extended period before entering the water. Fig 1. Thermotron Chamber Fig 2. PFDs are stored in the Thermotron Chamber for five hours Water Tank Setup: The water tank is prepared according to ISO requirements, maintaining a temperature close to 0°C to replicate freezing conditions. A water chiller and ice maker are combined to achieve the desired temperature before testing begins. Fig 3. Water tank for Cold Inflation Testing (Water Chiller on the right) Testing Proces...
