Driven by a passion to learn and innovate, but constrained to a tight budget, I set out to create custom devices using engineering and chemical engineering principals from various classes. These projects — a homemade vacuum former, a copper electroplater from a repurposed printer, and customizing 3D printers for enhanced performance — merge ingenuity with the fundamentals of engineering and material science. They not only showcase my ability to think creatively and solve problems but also my dedication to applying these skills in practical, real-world applications.
