Construction of 11121 Folklore Street (2017)
In 2017, I purchased and acted as the Owner on the construction of my new house at 11121 Folklore Street. I worked alongside the builder to select the floor plan & finish types, monitor construction progress, keep tabs on my finances, participate in the final punch walk, and close! Below are some pictures from this exciting effort!

Structural Design Final Project Submittal (December 2014)
I completed this senior design project for my structural design class with three other students - Jonathon Ambar, Paul Heagney, and David Lutz. We were tasked to design a six-story structural steel and reinforced concrete building in Orlando, FL. In total, I spent approximately 150 hours on completing a 251 page submittal. At the end of the semester, we were also required to give a high-level presentation of our project to two registered professional engineers. The final submittal paper as well as a copy of our powerpoint presentation are provided below.

Building a Bird's Nest (April 2014)
I wrote this paper for my Steel Structures class. In the project, I summarized the design of China's National Stadium (a.k.a. "The Bird's Nest") in Beijing, China.

Parking Garage G Traffic Study (April 2014)
I completed this project as the assistant project manager in a group of eight for my Highway Engineering class. In the project, we collected traffic pattern data for ten hours at a parking garage at the University of Central Florida's main campus. After collecting the data, we analyzed the garage for its utility and efficiency.

Knightmare Tower - Balsa Tower (October 2013)
Below are pictures of a project I completed with my lab partner, Eric Balog, for my Structural Analysis class. Requirements of the project were to build a tower using balsa wood that was two feet tall and able to hold a minimum load of 1 kip (or 1000 pounds). We developed the design for the tower though hand calculations and Integrated Engineering Software's Visual Analysis program. After the design was completed, we constructed the tower and tested it in a Universal Testing Machine (UTM). Our tower ended up holding a maximum load of about 1.7 kips (1700 pounds) and had a maximum load to weight ratio of about 4.

Design and Efficiency of an Endless Pool (October 2013)
This group project was completed for my Fluid Mechanics class. I played the role of a project manager, and our team was tasked with evaluating and analyzing a fluids system on two major criteria - design and cost efficiency. We found that the Endless Pool was extremely efficient and can save an owner about 50%. The below paper was only half of the project; we also gave a fifteen minute presentation about our findings.

The Probability of Star Tours (April 2013)
I completed this project for my senior-level Mathematics course in Probability. I evaluated the randomness of Disney's Star Tours attraction by calculating the probabilities of events during the ride through applications of the classical definition of probability, the law of total probability, independence, and binomially distributed random variables. (Note: The pictures became a little blurry during my conversion of the file from Word to PDF. The pictures in the Word file are fine however.)
