| In order to complete the design for an HPV (human powered vehicle) I spent 9 months learning Autodesk Inventor. This program was vital to the design and development of my invention. In addition to creating all of the production drawings for the frame, I was able to have many parts laser-cut to the exact profile created with this program. | |||
|
Some of the parts which were laser-cut were the wheel dropouts, the frame couplers [patent-pending], the logo, and several gussets. Thanks to BBC steel for the part fabrication. |
||
|
 One additional part which I had fabricated was a connection piece between the tubular spine of my trailer and the bed. This highly efficient design can carry 300 pounds yet the overall frame weighs about 20. |

I worked with Inventor to more accurately depict aspects of the steering system for use in the control assembly of the Transformation Trike. | ||
|
While working at Benson Industries I was involved with several projects. I enjoyed the opportunity to create intricate details with accuracy of a few milimeters. At a later time I worked in fabrication drawings for one of the South Waterfront buildings. |
||
|
The most intricate drawings which I worked on during
my time at Benson was the Die Drawings for aluminum extrusions. These
drawings had to be created with an accuracy of 0.00000001 mm.
These drawings were then used to create the mullions, rails, and attachment pieces which hold the IGUs. |

The Port Authority of New York has been in charge of the design for
the Airtrain at Jamaica. This enterprise contained innumerable facets to be designed and implemented. One of these elements was a guard booth for security within the station. The booth was meant to conform to the section of a cylinder sliced at 30 degrees. This overall concept became the mold for the structural elements of this booth. Because of it's complexity, a 3D computer model was necessary before a physical model could be constructed. |

In creating a presentation for a proposed loft design, it was necessary to create an interior perspective with materials clearly delineated. This early experiment in AutoCad manipulation opened doors to future constructions. | ||

During the reconstruction of this suburban house in Bellmore, it was necessary to gain an understanding of the house's space. Therefore a computer model was created to demonstrate how the building would function. | ||

In Northeast Portland there is a highway which sharply divides the city. As part of a proposal to bridge the gap created by this highway I created a rendering in Photoshop. The proposed bridge would connect two low-traffic streets creating connectivity for pedestrians and cyclists. | ||
