3D Modeling
3D Mouse Game 🎮 (Click to Play)

In "House Mouse", a game originally created for VR, the player takes the role of a mouse. The game features many detailed objects, animations, and hidden places to explore. The game could be found on early VR gaming websites and had a short article written about it. The game still needs some work, but is playable now right here on your browser. Use arrow keys (or W,A,S,D) to move, mouse to steer, and shift to run. • Unity, C#, Sketchup, OnShape

Articulating Display Wall

I designed, 3D modeled, and helped build this large 16 x 11 foot product wall. The wall operates as a central product display for the office and has been an essential tool for testing new products during the production lifecycle. It features an automated airflow system, heavy articulating panels, integrated display, illuminated color-changing logo, and a patch panel for testing signal propagation distances. I researched and purchased tools and materials for the build and referenced the 3D model for precise measurements during construction. • Sketchup

RF Logger Housing

Created for the testing team, this housing is a slim version of the original. The PCB, having been repurposed from another product, could easily be stripped down to fit into a small housing. I made several of these for our testing and development teams. They can be found in various tool boxes around the office. • OnShape

Pulse Generator Housing

A colleague created a Pulse Generator for testing products during the development cycle. The device is fantastic, but could be cumbersome to use due to the shape of the PCB, the position of the motor, and the exposed contacts that would sometimes short on metal surfaces. I created a housing for the motor PCB and the display/controller PCB to make for a more user-friendly experience. The circuit boards fit perfectly and the housings simply snap together. • OnShape

A Head of Myself

Using my iPhone's front-facing camera, I was able to scan my head, clean up the model, and then print it on a 3D printer. This seems to be a more common thing to do now-a-days, but I did it before it was more main-stream and still cool. A coworker and I later used this model to create a clay impression and mold a silicon model. Fun times.

Animatronic Dinosaur

Being a big fan of Stan Winston studios' work, I have had a long time interest in animatronics. This is my first attempt at an animatronic Compy dinosaur. The design uses a cable driven system popularized by Richard Landon. The flexible skin was 3D printed using TPU on a stock Ender 3 Pro. • OnShape

GoPro Anchor Mount V1

Having a mild fascination with the underwater world, I decided I wanted to attach my GoPro to my paddleboard anchor. I fashioned this mount for my camera and a dive light. I lowered the anchor 80 feet into the crystal-clear Bear Lake of northern Utah. This is the first iteration of the design which I found placed too much vertical stress on the anchor rope. • OnShape

GoPro Anchor Mount V2

The second iteration of the design faired much better. Distributing the weight of the camera and dive light more evenly across the anchor rope allowed for a more secure and more predictable camera angle. These underwater explorations eventually lead me to earning an SSI open water scuba certification. • OnShape

Created for ROV underwater drone applications, specifically the QYSEA FIFISH. The claw uses a hair-trigger and rubber band to grab items without the need for motors. It is designed to release if the drone becomes stuck. • OnShape

NextCentury Hardware & Software Testing

I developed hundreds of hardware and software testing procedures and authored dozens of wikis and starter guides. I used a wide range of advanced tools including accelerated UV chamber, plasma wand, temperature chamber, Keithley multimeter, weather chamber, Saleae logic analyzer, RF chamber, RF scanner and vacuum chamber. I tested products through the development lifecycle, ensuring no bugs or defects made it to mass production. Products were not released without my go-ahead.

Rex 'Battle Bot' R/C

Rex is a 100 pound, invertible, chain-driven, BattleBots-inspired remote controlled 'robot' capable of hauling hundreds of pounds. Rex is powered by two 24v motors, two sealed 12v batteries, and utilizes a Sabertooth 2X25 V2 speed controller. Rex was designed through trial and error with parts sourced from the local junkyard, hardware stores, and pawn shops.

Door Knock to Unlock

Using an Arduino Nano, accelerometer, a servo, and a 3.7v LiPo, I can unlock my door by knocking a specific combination. When a potential door-knock is received, the Arduino first distinguishes between noise and an intentional knock, stores the knocks in an array, then compares the array to a predetermined knock pattern. To preserve battery, a transistor is used to cut power from the Servo when idle.

Cat Fan Deterrent

I love animals as much as the next guy, but this cat (we’ll call her Butt Head) loves to knock over my plants, spill water on my desk, and leave behind breadcrumbs of clingy fur. Introducing the Cat Fan™. Using an Arduino nano, a motion sensor, 5v motor, mosfet, some 3D modeling and a 3D printer, the Cat Fan™ turns on when Motion is detected nearby, scaring the cat away! This system is 100% effective 20% of the time.

Tinkering Tendencies

I have always loved taking things apart to see how they tick. From the age of 10 I was pulling apart old portable televisions, radios, phones, everything. This curiosity continues today. I do a little bit of everything, from general car repair to electronics repair and 'handyman' tasks. Largely stemming from my eagerness to learn and grow, I pride myself in being able to figure out just about anything I put my mind to.
