Justin R.

I am a second year mechanical engineering student, I'm highly driven and passionate about engineering and design. My personal hobbies include amateur rocketry, homebrewing beer and wine, fishing and astronomy. I currently work for a firm that designs, builds and certifies industrial lifting equipment. I've been involved in all aspects of the design process, from analyzing the factory/warehouse/site layout, determining adequacy of existing structures, creating weldments from structural steel to serve as load bearing members for cranes/ hoists, to finally the design of the under-the-hook lifting device (often using pneumatics or mechanical actuators). In my personal life, I've designed my home brewery, including a converted chest freezer into keezer, and a climate controlled mini-fermentation room with multiple chambers for different temperatures. I am also working on an amateur rocket with a goal of transonic speeds. I have 3D printed many custom parts for this project.
