Architecture + supplier definition

Four-product platform architecture

Four related manual-adjustment products needed shared mechanisms and supplier definition without allowing common parts, purchased components, or assumptions to conceal variant risk.

SRCAn anonymized derivative of the controlled engagement record; native BOM, CTQ, inspection, RFQ, and client geometry remain private.

My role

Architecture, requirements, shared interfaces, BOM strategy, CTQs, first-article planning, supplier RFQ controls, and validation gates.

Engineering actions

  • Developed manual hand-crank and handwheel architecture with guarded access.
  • Separated shared requirements and interfaces from variant-specific definition.
  • Structured a 312-row BOM including 199 purchasable or COTS lines.
  • Established CTQs, first-article and test matrices, supplier questionnaires, quotation templates, and deviation tracking.

Outputs

  • Architecture record
  • Variant requirements
  • BOM strategy
  • CTQ and inspection definitions
  • Supplier RFQ controls

What this record proves

Architecture and supplier-quotation package. Fabrication release, final drawings, and physical validation were outside the completed scope.

Concept + prototype definition

Modular thermal product development

A consumer thermal product required repeated architecture and CAD revision to reconcile a master shell, liner, thermal cartridge, top interface, containment, sealing, condensation, assembly, service, and user interaction.

SRCAn anonymized derivative of the archived revision record; native product geometry and client files remain private.

My role

Mechanical architecture, interface definition, controlled CAD iteration, configuration development, and prototype and patent support.

Engineering actions

  • Developed the shell, liner, thermal-cartridge, and top-interface assembly.
  • Reworked sealing, containment, condensation paths, assembly order, access, and service.
  • Maintained native SolidWorks parts, assemblies, configurations, and eight archived revisions.
  • Prepared stage-appropriate definition for prototype and patent-support decisions.

Outputs

  • Native SolidWorks parts and assembly
  • Alternate configurations
  • Eight-revision development sequence
  • Prototype and patent-support definition

What this record proves

Concept and prototype definition across eight CAD revisions. Cooling performance, leakage, condensation, and production processes still require physical verification.

Editable CAD delivered

Fit-critical geometry reconstruction

Supplied scan and mesh data had holes, edge noise, and continuity defects that prevented controlled editing.

SRCA publication-safe derivative of the verified reconstruction record. Native model geometry and client-specific source data remain private.

My role

Surface reconstruction, design-intent recovery, editable SolidWorks definition, and neutral-data delivery.

Engineering actions

  • Separated measured evidence from inferred design intent and fit-critical interfaces.
  • Used loft, sweep, and filled surfaces to bridge gaps and restore continuous geometry.
  • Recovered datums, interface logic, and editable feature relationships rather than making a format conversion.
  • Delivered native SolidWorks geometry and neutral STEP data.

Outputs

  • Input and repair plan
  • Reconstructed surfaces
  • Editable SolidWorks model
  • Neutral STEP data

What this record proves

Editable CAD and a client-approved replica were delivered. This record does not establish production qualification.

INDEPENDENT DESIGN STUDY | LUXURY WEARABLE + PACKAGING

Luxury NFC Medical-ID Bracelet and Bespoke Presentation Packaging

Developed a fashion-led medical-identification bracelet concept that discreetly integrates an NFC-enabled personal-information interface into a sculpted wearable form. The paired SolidWorks study extends the same design language into bespoke presentation and protective packaging, connecting wearable architecture, closure details, protective structure, and a deliberate unboxing and storage experience.
