I am focused on CAD-driven medical device design, 3D printing, ergonomic systems, and practical prototyping. My current main project is BraceForge: a web-based tool for designing custom wrist braces from patient-specific measurements.
About
Building at the intersection of anatomy, CAD, and manufacturable design.
Technical toolkit
- SolidWorks, Onshape, MATLAB, and R
- CAD modeling, FEA, parametric design, and engineering drawings
- 3D printing, rapid iteration, and prototype testing

Main project
BraceForge turns patient measurements into printable brace geometry.
BraceForge
Custom wrist brace design, ready for 3D printing.
BraceForge is a browser-based configurator for designing a two-part wrist brace from forearm, wrist, palm, and thumb measurements. It provides an interactive 3D preview, supports left/right brace orientation, and exports generated geometry as STL or 3MF for slicer review and printing. The case study walks through the design goals, iterations, and engineering decisions behind the project.
Measure
Anthropometric inputs
Uses real hand and wrist dimensions, including wrist circumference, metacarpal width, thumb opening, shell length, and Velcro thickness.
Preview
Interactive CAD-like model
A Three.js preview lets users orbit, zoom, and inspect brace features such as thumb clearance, strap slots, smooth edges, and optional ventilation.
Export
3D-print workflow
The generated brace can be exported as STL or 3MF and checked in slicer software before printing. The project includes a clear printing guide.
Experience
Relevant engineering and clinical context.
EGC Representative
Supporting prosthetics-focused design work by helping coordinate materials, logistics, and iterative CAD prototypes for under-resourced communities.
Ergonomics Team Member
Working on throttle, steering, and driver-interface systems, including 3D printed testing fixtures, SolidWorks FEA, and manufacturing-ready drawings.
Medical Assistant
Assisted with patient workflow, vitals, medical histories, diagnostic testing, scheduling, and EMR updates in a pediatric urgent care environment.
Contact
Let's talk biomedical engineering, medical devices, or prototypes.
I am especially interested in Summer 2026 internship or co-op opportunities in medical device R&D, hardware engineering, CAD, and prototyping.
