I’m Kaitlyn, a mechanical engineering student turning complex challenges into useful, buildable solutions—from aerospace manufacturing to thermal design.
Illustrative conceptA fixture-based marking system that replaced manual stamping and reduced a full production day to approximately 20 minutes.
Illustrative conceptComparing three passive heat sink geometries to keep a 50W LED streetlight well below its thermal limit.
Illustrative conceptLeading mechanical design for a seven-person team selected for NASA’s 2027 Human Exploration Rover Challenge.
Illustrative conceptDesigned and 3D-printed approximately 50 holders to secure finished units during burn-in cycling and eliminate a fall hazard.
I’m a senior mechanical engineering student at Florida Atlantic University and a manufacturing engineering intern at Aerospace Technologies Group in Boca Raton, Florida.
My work connects analysis with the realities of the production floor: designing fixtures, validating ideas, improving processes, and making solutions easier for people to use.
