SpaceRyde

• Canada
• Aviation and Aerospace Component Manufacturing
• 1 - 100 Employee

• Propulsion Intern

  • Jan 2022 - Sep 2022

  I am excited to be working at SpaceRyde as a propulsion intern. During my time at SpaceRyde so far this position has been an amazing experience exposing me to a wide variety of projects and giving me an equal variety of new skills. My main project at SpaceRyde has been working on Canada’s first orbital rocket engine. During my time at SpaceRyde I have helped design, build and test this engine. From doing technician work to detailed design and analysis of propulsion components on the engine, the depth of experience at SpaceRyde has been amazing for me. I look forward to completing my internship with SpaceRyde and seeing great things continue to happen at the company. Show less



UBC Mechanical Engineering

• Canada
• Higher Education
• 1 - 100 Employee

• Research Assistant

  • May 2021 - Sep 2021

  I am extremely grateful to have gotten the opportunity to work in one of UBC’s mechanical engineering department labs at the Energy and Aerosols Laboratory (EAL). Throughout this position I was able to learn in depth how masks really work and which was an interesting insight into mask policies during COVID. I was lucky enough to have professor Steven Rogak as my supervisor in the lab and got to learn about everything going on in the lab from one of the best. My main project was to measure and quantify the filtration properties of non-woven fabrics and evaluate their performance relative to each other. This research built off of a previous research effort done in the lab evaluating a wide variety of material commonly found or available in household settings. By focusing on the higher performing materials (non-woven fabrics) from the previous research we sought to find the best materials in this group and build DIY mask filters which we tested as well. The paper for this work is currently under revision and will be made available as soon as that process is complete. My work on this project consisted of modifying the current laboratory set up, working with a differential mobility analyzer (DMA) column, working with sodium chloride nebulizers, performing repeatable laboratory tests and analyzing data/plotting results using Python. I also had another project that I worked on in parallel to my main project. This was to develop a low cost way to evaluate mask fit in rural settings so a large scale survey could be done to determine the effect this had on COVID cases. My work consisted of designing a mouthpiece to help measure air flow rate when breathing, designing a GUI for the users to observe the tests with, testing the setup using various configurations, developing a mathematical model that qualified the mask fit and analyzing data/plotting results using Python.

NETGEAR

• United States
• Computer Networking Products
• 700 & Above Employee

• Senior Mechanical Engineering Co-Op

  • Sep 2020 - Dec 2020

  During my second work term at Netgear I developed the skills I got from my first work term further. I learned more about the design and manufacturing process for tolling injection molded parts. I implemented changes and gave feedback for different parts and their corresponding mold analysis reports. During this time, I furthered my knowledge in TracePro by detailing a few new processes for accurate simulations of light pipes for dispersion on exit surfaces, shadows and light bleed. I also did some detailed design on parts by my self with design review sessions with my co-workers/mentors. I kept my self busy throughout this time improving on jig designs which we used for drilling holes for RF testing as well as crating a training package for easy onboarding of new employees for the mechanical department.Aside from this work I kept on performing my usual assignments doing drawings for new parts and updating old drawings to reflect necessary changes as well as occasional mold flows for parts to make sure new features don’t cause problems with the molding process down the line. Reflecting upon my co-op experience with Netgear as a whole I believe that not only did I get to learn new things and reinforce what I already knew, but I also got a unique experience of working in a strong team mostly from home. While I did have some interaction with people in person most of my work term was done from home which shows not only my skills as a team player, but also my ability to stay busy and be self starting. I also realized just how important iterative design is, while you may get the design right the first time it is unlikely. I was able to use software such as “Creo simulation live” to quickly test and modify designs of screw bosses, clips and general geometry. Below is a list of projects which I worked on during my full 8 months with Netgear.1. RAX702. RAXE5003. LM12004. SXK80 Show less

• Junior Mechanical Engineering Co-Op

  • May 2020 - Sep 2020

  During this time I worked with a close team of mechanical engineers. I worked in depth at doing detailed design with CAD models in CREO, as well as doing simulations, ray tracing and mold flow analysis. This position boosted not only my CAD skills, but also my knowledge of injection molded parts and mechanical design of enclosures.
