Mechanical Engineering Portfolio

Mechanical Engineering Honours, UTS

I use this site to show CAD models, robot hardware, prototypes, testing, documentation, and sensor-integrated mechanical systems through concise project pages.

What I build

Mechanical work shown with enough context to understand the design.

Robot hardware packaged around sensors, wiring, power, and access.
CAD parts and mechanisms that need to be made, adjusted, and tested.
Project pages that show enough of the design path to understand the work.

Projects

Public projects: 15
Focus: Robot hardware, CAD, sensing, testing
Format: Project pages, CAD views, prototype photos

Portfolio focus

The work is organised around practical mechanical engineering: robot hardware, mechanical subsystem design, sensor integration, and clear documentation.

Robot hardware

Robot hardware, sensing packages, CAD layouts, and prototype records that explain the main design decisions.

Mechanical subsystem design

CAD packaging, prototypes, manufacturability, service access, testing plans, and user-aware constraints treated as part of the design work.

Vibration and monitoring interest

Current interest in linking measured behaviour, vibration, and operating state with validated data before making stronger claims.

Current interests

Sensor-integrated mechanical systems

Mechanical platforms where geometry, sensing, and system behaviour can be connected through practical prototypes and honest test notes.

Sensor-based robot hardware

Compact robot hardware designed around cameras, sensors, controllers, power layout, wiring paths, and access for fixes.

Vibration and monitoring interest

A current interest in using measured vibration and mechanical behaviour to understand health, performance, and operating state when validated data is available.

Cobotics, HRI, and mechanical subsystems

Human-centred robot hardware and mechanical subsystem work shaped by modularity, manufacturability, safe interaction, testing, and clear documentation.

How I work

CAD and packaging

Mechanical layout, interface geometry, mounting, access, fit, and tolerancing notes.

Prototyping and fabrication

Printed, fabricated, assembled, and revised hardware records with makeability kept visible.

Sensing and mechatronic integration

Sensor, controller, wiring, power, and robot-hardware integration.

Testing and documentation

Design notes, selected visuals, test planning, and records that explain decisions.
