Topographic Field Surveying
Lead Surveyor | UBC CIVL 235Conducted intensive field data collection using Leica Total Stations and GNSS.
Project Overview
Intensive two-week field surveying camp focused on high-precision spatial measurements and topographic mapping on the UBC campus.
My Responsibilities
- Operated industry-standard Leica Total Stations, automatic levels, and precise GNSS receivers.
- Executed complex control traverses and differential leveling under tight time constraints.
- Calculated error closures, horizontal coordinates, and produced detailed technical field reports.
Laneway Home Project
Project Engineer | Team 7Developed a comprehensive design and construction proposal for a residential laneway home.
Project Overview
A full-cycle infrastructure project targeting urban densification in Vancouver through the design of a sustainable laneway home.
My Responsibilities
- Co-authored the comprehensive Final Proposal, integrating structural, zoning, and sustainability requirements.
- Collaborated within a multidisciplinary team to balance architectural constraints with engineering feasibility.
- Delivered the final pitch presentation to academic stakeholders to defend the project's viability.
Masterfonction Multitool
Co-founder & Treasurer | Regional 3rd PlaceCo-founded a mini-business designing a fully customizable electronic multitool.
Project Overview
An entrepreneurial engineering initiative that won 3rd place in a regional mini-business college competition in France. The product was a hand-made, 3D-printed customizable tool integrating a laser, light, and fan.
My Responsibilities
- Managed the team's finances, budgeting, and resource allocation as Treasurer.
- Led the mechanical design and CAD modeling of the protective 3D-printed outer shell.
- Oversaw product assembly and coordinated cross-functional team efforts.
Sweeping Claw Mechanism
Design Engineer | UBC Year 1Designed and prototyped a sweeping claw mechanism, delivering full CAD modeling and EOI.
Project Overview
An academic design challenge requiring the end-to-end development of a mechanical sweeping claw, from initial concept to physical prototyping and technical defense.
My Responsibilities
- Drafted precise engineering drawings and isometric CAD models for manufacturing.
- Formulated a formal Expression of Interest (EOI) to justify the design choices.
- Created the technical E-Poster and co-led the oral presentation in front of the engineering faculty.
Structural Cardboard Chair
Structural Designer | Team N2 (APSC 100)Engineered a weight-bearing cardboard chair optimizing load distribution and material resistance.
Project Overview
A rigorous structural engineering challenge (APSC 100 Studio) requiring the construction of a functional, load-bearing chair using only standard cardboard, focusing on sustainability and structural integrity.
My Responsibilities
- Applied load distribution principles to maximize the strength-to-weight ratio of the cardboard structure.
- Authored the formal Technical Memo documenting our testing methodology and structural analysis.
- Designed the promotional sheet (Promo Sheet) to communicate the sustainable value proposition to a non-technical audience.
