I'm a mechanical engineering graduate from UNB who spent two internship terms at Ganong Bros. in St. Stephen working directly on the production floor. Most of my time was spent on automation solutions, diagnosing equipment failures, standardizing procedures and improving OEE across packaging lines. I also led the brake system design for a Formula Ford FF1600 in partnership with Michelin, delivering manufacturing drawings and a full BOM to an external engineering team on a real schedule.
I care about the gap between design and production — the part where a good idea has to survive contact with real equipment, real operators and real deadlines. That's where I want to work.
Relocating to Ontario in 2026. Looking for manufacturing or design engineering roles in automotive, industrial equipment or food processing.

- Developed and implemented automation solutions for production equipment, eliminating manual intervention across multiple packaging lines.
- Diagnosed and resolved recurring mechanical and electrical equipment failures, reducing unplanned downtime across production shifts.
- Wrote and standardized 10+ SOPs for equipment operation and maintenance, reducing onboarding time and ensuring consistency across shifts.
- Conducted cost/benefit analyses to support data-backed cost reduction initiatives across packaging operations.
- Designed 3D models and assembly drawings in SolidWorks and AutoCAD for a production line redesign, reducing layout conflicts and supporting equipment procurement decisions.
- Participated in Six Sigma Kaizen events and Gemba walks, contributing improvement recommendations that increased OEE on the packaging line.
- Reviewed vendor contracts and legal opinions to identify compliance gaps and support regulatory reporting requirements.
- Built a structured digital archival system for regulatory and legal documents, reducing retrieval time and standardizing document management.

Full brake system specification for a Formula Ford FF1600 in partnership with Michelin's Bridgewater, NS facility. Selected calipers, rotors, master cylinder and brake lines based on thermal analysis, material properties and strength of materials calculations. Delivered SolidWorks assemblies, AutoCAD layouts, manufacturing drawings and a complete BOM to an external engineering team on a defined schedule.
Vibration condition monitoring on a motor with recurring bearing failures using accelerometer data collected per ISO 20816-1. Applied FFT analysis to identify characteristic fault frequencies (BPFO, BPFI, BSF) and classified vibration severity using ISO zone classifications. Proposed a predictive maintenance schedule with defined measurement intervals.
Led the Life Cycle Inventory phase for Qatar's Stadium 974, built from 974 shipping containers and 12,400 tonnes of recycled steel. The demountable design reduced human health impacts by 60% and saved 95.8% of material production impacts vs a permanent structure, with energy savings of 4.38 million kWh quantified.
