At StrongBo, a fast-paced agri-tech startup, I worked on projects spanning both software and mechanical design. Using Python in Jupyter Notebook, I developed scripts to analyze machine telemetry and predict battery life, enabling a new app feature that reduced data loss for farmers. On the mechanical side, I redesigned components of StrongBo’s livestock weighing machines in SolidWorks to improve portability and shipping efficiency, creating foldable parts and a pivoting connector that tripled container capacity. The experience sharpened my skills in SolidWorks, coding, and problem-solving under startup conditions

The "WatArrow RC Plane" project focused on redesigning an RC aircraft for the SAE Aero Design Competition. Design goals included reduced takeoff distance, weight optimization, durability, and ease of manufacturing. By researching aerodynamics and competition criteria, a lightweight carbon fiber rod replaced the traditional fuselage, achieving a 70% weight reduction. Custom adapters were developed for wing attachment, resolving mounting challenges without compromising strength. The final prototype demonstrated improved performance, with a takeoff distance under 7 meters and speeds of 15 m/s
