This portfolio is a collection of previous work, student projects, and personal research. Growing up in Nelson B.C. drove my lifelong interest in the outdoors. My projects focus on sustainability and energy independence. Creating, repairing, improving.
This ladder rack was designed using AutoCAD and Fusion360. Built with waterjet cutouts, and extruded aluminum rails commonly found on CNC machines.
Ebike
Two wheel drive electric bike. 52v 30ah battery, 60km range. Designed in AutoCAD, waterjet out of 1/8 aluminum.
Battery box
This 48v 42ah universal battery pack was created with 18650 cells. It can output the full 48v, or step down to 12v, and includes usb chargers. The two cell setup allows solar panels to charge one cell, while the other cell outputs.
These two tool caddies were built as part of a level 1 machinist course. Both were designed in Fusion360, cut out of a sheet of 1/8th aluminum, and TiG welded.
An experiment in building a wiring harness from the ground up. Using spare E-bike batteries, this kayak has been converted to electric. 100km range, adjustable steering and throttle control.
Fish
9ft long articulated fish bike. Built for Burning Man 2019. Cut out of 1/4 plywood.
1:250 scale model of the Corra Linn Dam. The model was created from over 3,000 blueprints for the 1930’s era facility. This watertight model was used for dive analysis, emergency planning, employee training, and planning for future upgrades. The model won the Operational Excellence Award 2019.
Carbon fiber prosthetic arm attachment for a kayak paddle. The attachment matches the user’s wrist length, and allows for the same lateral and rotational movement.
This cast was designed for the hind leg of a German Shepherd, and was printed in a nylon rubber composite.The material is more breathable and lighter than a plaster cast
2nd year design project. The robot was 3D printed and designed in AutoCAD. Automated planting robot concept
A 4ft 3D printed scale model of an eight storey furnace in the Kootenays. This model is used for shutdown planning and employee training. Each one of the 250pices is magnetic, and can be taken apart easily.
A micro hydro project, built out of recycled sea cans and small scale Pelton turbines. The PRV station is designed to help phase out the large amount of diesel generators used throughout northern Canada. 2018
Lidar puck mount mount for a surveying drone. Designed in Fusion360, and printed out of nylon. Weight distribution, lidar visibility, and size limitations made this a challenging design project. 2019
Finalist in the NASA allgo competition. Semi-inflatable crane for the Artemis moon missions. Placed 5th out of 132, and the only Canadian.
The Scrollcrane was designed for a 2021 challenge. The requirements were for a small rover that can reflect light into permanently dark (and radiation shielded) craters
Entry for a 2021 hydrogen design challenge. Created as a replacement for thousands of expiring diesel generators in northern Canada. Modeled in Fusion360, rendered in blender, and uploaded to GRABCAD for anyone to download and improve on.
Entry for a computer mouse design challenge. Designed in AutoCAD, animation done in Blender.
Second year 2019 capstone project. Study of modeling, storyboarding, texturing, animation, lighting, rendering, sound design, and post processing effects, using a 3D modeled spacecraft.
Designed in Fusion360, Rendered in Blender. This ship was created for a VR game, which needed a realistic cockpit. Untextured
Built for VR flight simulator games. Adjustable armrests and back position. The seat was cut on a 4x8ft CNC machine.
Cedar slab with aluminum edges. Slab was machined flat on a Shopbot CNC, and aluminum edges were cut on a plasma table. Plasma toolpathing was part of the machinist level 1.
CNC milled furniture and machine stations, all made out of 3/4in ply & MDF. Toolpaths in Vcarve. Shop Computer station, Lab tables, Bed.
