73 million single-use soap bars are disposed of annually, costing the US hotel industry upwards of $30 Million.
Our product, Green Clean, dispenses bar soap shavings by utilizing a grating mechanism, leading to the complete usage of a
bar soap hygienically. This will reduce wastage significantly, save costs by more than 25%, and enable hotels to be more
environmentally friendly. As Team Lead, I assigned tasks based on the strengths of my team members and utilized product
management principles to develop a quality product. I utilized design thinking principles throughout the product development
process and conducted economic analysis to determine the market scope and value proposition for Green Clean.

Continuous billet feeding allows a Heading Machine to be semi-automated, leading to higher production volumes and
significant labor cost savings. As part of a team, we developed and tested a prototype billet Heading Machine with
continuous billet feeding capabilities using Solidworks simulations. The Heading Machine uses plasticine at room
temperature as a substitute for steel at high temperature due to their similar material properties. I designed the machine
and created the 3D CAD representation of it while using Design for Manufacturing principles.

With real estate prices soaring, more people are transitioning to tiny homes. Our team designed and manufactured a
table that could function as a coffee table, desk, and dining table, using an expanding mechanism and a lifting mechanism
that work independently of one another. With limited space, the multifunctional table maximizes usage while limiting space
needed for storage. I conducted the stress and strain Finite Element Analysis of the SolidWorks models of the product.

Musical instruments can be tuned incorrectly if not tuned in optimal temperature and humidity ranges. Our team designed
the hardware and software that would streamline the tuning of musical instruments. We built the sensor configurations to
connect with the app, allowing musicians to note the temperature and humidity at the time of tuning and tune their instrument
accurately. I designed the mobile application and configured the ESPM32 Microcontroller using Python.

Amateur photographers currently have to use an external storage device to carry lenses they wish to attach to their
phones. We designed and manufactured a prototype phone case for aspiring photographers with no DSLR. The phone case boasts
a unique combination of tripod mount and lens attachments storage, designed for storing up to 3 lenses and a small microfiber
cloth. I applied rapid prototyping principles by 3D printing the prototype from the SolidWorks and AutoCAD models.
