• Designed a sprung telescoping blind system used Solidworks/Cosmosworks FEA to simulate performance. Guided client’s design ideas and animated / directed and promotional video animations for product sales.
• Modeled, sourced and built an adjustable-bracket-mounting system (finger-jointing application) using turnbuckles and lead screws linkages for fine tune positioning.
• Instructed Pro/Engineer WF4, SolidWorks2009, ACAD 2009.
• Redesigned and optimized a food-grade, stainless-steel, automated icing chamber (1million+ installation slurry ice filling machine). Sourced hard to find mix turbines (locally) saving machine shop from in-house production. Optimized machine alignment/repeatability by replacing bent ball joints with simpler custom designed fork linkages/bushings. Prevented client’s customer from pursuing legal action as a result of the upgrade – successful on first filling test.
• Calculated motor hp /torque requirements after sketching and designing a slurry ice-bath chamber lift.

• Concept lead for a uni-axial soil sampling module (designated to weigh less than 1Kg) for a Canadian Space Agency mars rover project proposal – designed: Opening/closing mechanism, sampling process, transmission and sized motor and gears.
• Animated and presented the above design using a projector and cad models to the CSA.
• Design lead tasked with proposing and implementing an upgrade for an autonomous, tracked, multi-configurative bomb disposal robot enabling a continuously adjustable wireless antenna.
• Sourced from stock and custom designed a storm case remote control unit with internal electronic boards to pop up and be pushed down to a seated, stowed position.
• Supervised design team to produce 34 detail drawings in 3 days.
• Initiated and maintained upgrade project schedule for a 7 week delivery including re-design, detailing and machining phases.
• Fabricated and assembled critical electronic board assemblies/components and robotic mechanisms in house saving from outsourcing expenditures.

• Design lead for a wrap-spring and electromagnetic actuated clutch system for IC engines - guided by a Senior Engineer. Performed calculations, designs, drawings and prototype testing, assembly and teardown for what is now a new major product offering. 1st test of the prototype was successful.
• Responsible for design of actuating valves to optimize air flow resulting in optimal engine performance.
• Invented new valve manufacturing technique that decreased production cost by 50%
• Designed plastics with vibration welding, injection molding and over-molding.
• Design team member responsible for sizing, sourcing, installation and tolerancing high speed, temperature, internal pressure and wear resistant seals in an electromagnetic planetary transmission clutch for a hybrid electric vehicle (current Hybrid system seen in Azure Dynamics – FEDEX and UPS delivery trucks).
• Learned and implemented Catia V5 in less than a month – trained staff as a result.
• Improved internal linkage system of a Torque Filter system designed to reduce crank shaft vibration on FEAD (Front end accessory drive) belt system.

• Designed, analyzed and simulated a carbon fiber and aluminum racing wheel using Pro/Engineer, Pro/Mechanica and Solidworks.
• Generated 3D surface tool paths and machined and assembled a 6 piece mold for carbon fiber components.
• Engineered and built a custom ratchet and pawl clutch using a CNC mill and Lathe.
• Sourced and purchased all necessary hardware and materials.
• Used epoxy resins, adhesives, carbon fiber cloth and innovative wrapping techniques to fabricate a hollow bicycle wheel rim section.
• Prepared business plan, marketing plan and presentations based on product research.

• Modeled a reciprocating rock-crusher mechanism and rotating sample storing tray for a geological research science lab on mars rover.
• Designed Solar Blankets on the OBSS (Orbitor Boom Sensing System).
• Implemented Military/Nasa Aerospace Standards in design and manufacturing process.
• Designed cable routing on the Special Purpose Dexterous Manipulator (SPDM) for the unmanned mission to replace Hubble Space Telescope’s gyro/battery module.
• Simplified NASA data-intensive assembly models and their drawings allowing a safe and timely Discovery launch (Return to Flight Program)
