"Form follows function - that has been misunderstood. Form and function should be one, joined in a spiritual union."

-Frank Lloyd Wright

Projects working as a Mechanical Engineer temp at BMT SMS.

BMT SMS provides integrity and

structural monitoring, performance

prediction, and verification for a variety

of marine and offshore floating

platforms. In addition to the

instrumentation needed for each

application, BMT SMS designs custom

housings and fixtures for equipment

operating both above and below the

waterline. As a mechanical engineer

temp, I worked with fellow engineers

to create 3D solid models for various

tension monitoring subsystems and

produced the necessary technical

reports and documentation for client

review.

After graduating from the University of California, Davis , I found myself in a unique position to fulfill a (young but passionate) lifelong dream. Starting my own company was something I had not planned on doing for quite some time, but a perfect storm of right circumstances arose and in February 2014, I began laying the foundation that transformed a dream into a reality. Brick by brick, I did everything from securing permits to designing logos. Four months later, after a myriad of CAD sketches were created and many choice words angrily spewed at HTML coding, those bricks turned into…well…BRICKH3D: a unique, customer design-driven 3D printing experience. The entire process was a frustrating, empowering, challenging, incredibly educational crash course in all facets of a business, and I continue to enjoy every bit of it.

“Established in February 2014,

BRICKH3D (pronounced, “brickhead”)

brings the power of customization

right to your couch, desktop, lap, bed,

toilet, roof, spaceship, or wherever an

interwebs machine can be taken! Hop

on the 3D printing train and create

products tailored to you with

customized engraving, nifty logo

designs, and a cornucopia of colors-

whatever floats your wifi-enabled boat.

Make it your own and print

YOUniquely!”

Projects completed as a Student Assistant at the UC Davis Engineering Fabrication Lab. In addition to completing projects assigned by the lab’s supervisors, I also provided instructional support to students, faculty and staff of the College of Engineering as they worked on projects for classes, independent study, research, and student design competition clubs.
