Personal Projects

My family members and friends often call me a handyman, and rightfully so. I am always fixing things around the house from changing microwave and refrigerator parts to building a shed that's bigger than my room. I love tinkering, disassembling, and reassembling things just to see how they work and problem-solving in the real world. Below are some examples of how I've utilized my engineering, technician, and various other skills to solve problems.

Automotive

In this Picture, I removed the carburetor from my riding mower to diagnose engine troubles. After a few hours of tinkering, the engine was running like brand new. I also love fixing things on my car like replacing brakes and oil.

Woodworking

In this picture, I am working on building a 18'x10' shed in my backyard. I learned many things from how to create a stable structure to how different fasteners affect longevity.

Electric

In this picture, I disassembled my microwave to find and replace a bad part. I worked with switches, motors, resistors, and a multimeter to diagnose and ultimately fix issues.

RC Planes

I enjoy building, flying, and fixing remote controlled planes and drones. I have several aircraft that I fly which often gives me a better understanding of aerodynamics, piloting, and repair work.

Eagle Project

When earning my Eagle Scout rank, I led a service project to build benches for a local temple. I led over 20 scouts and adults in building three large wooden benches. I taught peers how to use power tools, sanding, and painting. Then, I placed the benches at the temple to accommodate more seating for the elderly folks.

Go-Kart

Over the summer of 2025, I plan on building a functional go-kart with my friend. We will learn TIG welding, metalworking, and general automotive design.
