Engineering Experience
led volume at fox entertainment
I took point on this project during my internship at Fox Entertainment in Los Angeles. The goal was to create a deliverable for studio executives that demonstrates the possibilities of our LED Volume when given access to Pixera and Unreal Engine with live camera tracking for immersive and AR shoots. The existing After Effects template the studio was using required clients to create separate assets for the LED wall and floor. With different aspect ratios, resolutions, and pixel densities, aligning the two surfaces took extensive measuring and calculation. The wall’s curve also obscured part of the floor, making it difficult to predict where content would be cut off.
I rebuilt the template around nested compositions so clients could work with a single master image or video. The template maps that media across both surfaces, separates the wall and floor outputs, then masks the floor and gently warps the content to align at the seam while accounting for the area hidden by the wall.
I tested the alignment with colored grids, refining the warp before creating an animation to check how the content translated across both surfaces. The result is a simpler workflow for clients and a continuous visual experience.
Engineering Overseas
This summer, I had an internship opportunity that not only deepened my engineering knowledge but also exposed me to a new culture. I spent my first couple weeks in an American office, engaging in orientation and developing skills for technical and personal success. Then, I moved halfway around the world and put my expertise to the test. In Kenya, I worked on Tenwek Hospital, a jaw-dropping cardiothoracic center in late-stage development. My job was to inspect and test the complex HVAC system, track contractor changes from original blueprints, and prepare safety training materials for local staff. I was brought to the site to share my knowledge of engineering and contribute meaningful work to a community with unique challenges, but it was engaging with local staff that made my experience the most valuable.
Lab Reports Examples
Capstone Project
Beginning Fall of 2024, I joined a team of five students to create an engineering project of our own design. From a list of approved options, we decided to build a suspension seat system for Jeep Wrangers and Ford Broncos. We spent much of the semester analyzing customer needs, developing conceptual designs, building CAD models, and running finite element analysis. Now, we are working in the machine shop to bring the project to fruition.
Red Bull Chariot Race
One of the most fun things that I’ve participated in was the Red Bull Chariot Race. This race was sponsored by Red Bull in which teams of four were selected to compete. Of the 72 teams that applied, 20 were chosen for the competition based on the quality of their application. We were given a budget of $250 and two weeks to create a themed chariot.
Our theme was aliens abducting cows. We raced in front of 500+ spectators and celebrity judges. We won our heat, but, unfortunately, we did not win the entire event.
I had a great time competing and creating the chariot. It was fun to maximize our budget, use power tools, and create a fun design.
2021 & Earlier
Being the Design Chairman for my fraternity, I was tasked with constructing a massive DJ stand and four elevated surfaces. It was to be sturdy and large: 13 feet tall, 8 feet wide, and 5 feet deep. Pictured on the right is the stand and the surfaces on painting day.
Early the next year, I created a new bar. The top was finished with a thick layer of epoxy to seal the marbled purple top. Our letters were embossed using wood and the inside was lined with LED underglow.
