Technical designer on SWARM, a VEX U robotics team, focused on designing and prototyping robot mechanisms in Onshape. I create and iterate 3D CAD models for subsystems such as intakes and scoring mechanisms, and collaborate with the build and programming teams to revise and integrate these designs into the competition robot.
