I am a mechanical engineer motivated by solving problems by engineering efficient and effective solutions. I am perceptive and observant. Forward thinking and goal oriented. A quick and eager learner. Sociable and pleasant. Proficient in design software (Solidworks, Autodesk Fusion), simulation software (ANSYS, SimScale, COMSOL, WRF), and analysis (OriginLab, Microsoft Excel) software. Adept in programming in C++ and familiar with C#, Python, and Java. Recently learning to integrate Language Models and Deep-Learning models into discrete applications. Adept in metalworking, machining, woodworking, and composite materials fabrication.
This e-Portfolio presents my recent education, work history, and projects.
Project Study: Full-Scale Design and Simulation of a Horizontal-Axis Tidal Turbine (HATT) Blade for Tropical Site Conditions using Reynolds-Averaged Navier Stokes - Blade Element Momentum Theory (RANS-BEMT): A Hydrodynamic Study
Objective: Design and simulate a blade geometry for low tidal current velocities.
Procedure: The geometry was modeled in Solidworks and the Simulation was done in ANSYS Fluent.
Results: A tidal turbine with a rated speed of 0.6 m/s was designed able to produce 32 MWh a year was produced.
Project Study: Wind Energy Resource Evaluation at a Geographically Disadvantaged Area (GIDA) in Mindanao, Philippines using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Model
Objective: Provide a wind resource map at a remote community in Mindanao, Philippines.
Procedure: Input parameters were sourced from online databases. Wind simulation was done in WRF in Ubuntu 20.04.
Results: Daily, monthly, and yearly wind strength is too varied and small producing only 5.47 GWh a year using the Vestas V90 turbine.
