Rain Remindr

Rain Remindr is a full-scope product I have been architecting from the ground up. While my business partner focuses on market strategy and business development, I serve as the primary developer and product architect.

This project has required a multi-disciplinary approach, allowing me to own every technical vertical—from the initial MCAD and ECAD designs to the final firmware coding and quality assurance protocols. It is an ongoing process of iterative refinement.

The images detail the 6th iteration of the device. While the current design has evolved well beyond these specific designs and implementations, this prototype effectively demonstrates my technical capabilities in iterative integration and hardware design.

Engineering CO-OP

This project marked my entry into the world of professional engineering. During my tenure at Gregory C. Marshall Naval Architect, I was responsible for the mechanical design and drafting of a custom V-strut for a 110-foot hybrid motor yacht.

The role demanded a rigorous systems engineering approach. I balanced hydrodynamic efficiency, engineering a streamlined cross-section to minimize drag, with strict structural compliance to American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) standards. My scope extended from theory to execution: I managed material selection (corrosion-resistant bronze), engineered the hull integration, and generated the final construction documents for shipyard execution.

While I contributed to a wide array of systems during this tenure, including HVAC, freshwater, and propulsion designs, much of that work remains proprietary. However, I can share the technical report below, which I authored to challenge a UVIC engineering work term.
