What Our Talent Have to Say...

CF headshot-1414.jpg

What’s a project, idea, or moment you’re proud of?

A project that I'm proud of would be my personal motorized chopper bicycle. This experience allowed me to showcase my hands-on mechanical skills by building and constructing motor components. Also, I applied engineering knowledge of a Thermodynamic Otto cycle to achieve higher RPM of piston strokes with assorted fuel and air mixture ratios.
