About

Mechanical Engineer

Like any other engineer, I spent my childhood taking apart toasters to see how they worked. That has never really changed, and today most of my free time is spent completing projects. From 3D printing to plumbing, I do it all. It would take me quite a while to list all of my hobbies. At the end of the day, you can sum up my personality in one sentence: I like to make stuff.                 

Project Portfolio

This is just a glimpse into my personal projects. While this section is still a work in progress, I hope to be able to host all of my completed works here. For 3D printing, some of the models I designed can be found on my printables page: https://www.printables.com/@Harbor_Freight.
