I am a mechanical engineer and EIT based in New Brunswick, relocating to Ontario in 2026. Two co-op terms on the production floor at Ganong Bros. — most of my time went into understanding where labour went, why lines failed, and what it would actually cost to fix it.
I care about the gap between design and production. The part where intent meets real equipment, real operators, and real deadlines. That is where I want to work.
Targeting manufacturing, CI, and mechanical design roles in industrial equipment, automotive, and food processing. Open to relocation anywhere in Canada.

- Built a Labour Intensity calculation tool mapping direct labour costs across 276 SKUs and 6 production areas — adopted facility-wide, used to justify a palletizing robot investment.
- Identified $140K+ in annual labour-savings opportunities through cost-benefit analysis across packaging operations.
- Reduced VFFS dump-station staffing from 6 to 2 operators across 5 lines by redesigning the feeding process and quantifying direct labour impact.
- Restored two packaging lines via root cause analysis: rewired a label applicator with a replacement proximity sensor and repurposed a vibratory feeder for dust filtration.
- Authored 10+ SOPs across multiple packaging lines, standardizing operation across 3 production shifts.
- Built an Excel production scheduling tool that digitized shift records and introduced calendar-based weekly scheduling — still in active use 3+ years after handoff.
- Produced SolidWorks 3D models and AutoCAD 2D manufacturing drawings to support a production line redesign.

Full brake system design and fabrication for Michelin Bridgewater's FF1600. Analytical sizing (2,750 N braking force, 357.5 N·m wheel torque), component selection, custom bracket fabrication, and static and dynamic validation. Minimum factor of safety: 13×.
Facility-wide cost model mapping direct labour across 276 SKUs and 6 production areas. Built from scratch during my 2025 co-op, adopted facility-wide, and used to justify the facility palletizer investment.
Diagnosed premature bearing failure in a 5-kW motor by applying FFT analysis to accelerometer data. Isolated shaft resonance at 1,600 Hz as the sole root cause — vibration of 0.0534 m/s² exceeded the allowable 0.0247 m/s² at 4.1 billion cycles.
Led the Life Cycle Inventory phase for Qatar's Stadium 974. Quantified 4.38 million kWh in energy savings and a 95.8% reduction in material production impacts versus a permanent structure.
