Mechanical Engineering Portfolio
I’m Anjan, a Mechanical Engineering student at the University of Waterloo, graduating in May 2027, with 2+ years of experience in manufacturing and mechanical design. Experienced in taking designs from concept through to fabrication, most recently at Tesla.
01Projects
Industry and personal projects, each with the design intent, the method and the measured result. Open any card for the full sheet.
2 photosConcept-to-fabrication mount that lets a UV sensor find glue strips on insulation before packaging, built to survive vibration, corrosion and fibre build-up on the line.
3 photosScan-to-production workflow for Tesla and BMW windshield protection film (WPF): 3D scans verified in CloudCompare, surface-modelled in SolidWorks and released as production thermoforming moulds.
A 3 DOF pick-and-place crane that locates, grips and moves payloads on its own, with a custom ray-fin gripper and load-cell force feedback.
Tore down a $250 competitor OHV engine and benchmarked it against the Honda GX200: identified each part's alloy from micrographs and composition, reverse-engineered how it was made from the evidence on the part, and built a cost-down plan checked with a lifecycle eco-audit.
CFD study of a multi-element rear wing for UW Formula Electric, quantifying how much drag an active DRS flap removes and what downforce it costs.
4 photosCarbon-fibre landing gear for an x-frame drone with a sacrificial joint that breaks first, so a hard landing costs a cheap printed part instead of a carbon tube.
Battery-powered e-paper photo frame with a custom ESP32 PCB, microSD slideshow, Wi-Fi photo upload and a 3D-printed press-fit enclosure.
3 photosA 15:1 cycloidal drive for precision robotics with out-of-phase rotors for balance, validated with static FEA under bearing load.
1 photoA 300+ component 3D layout of an electric drive assembly line, rebalanced to clear a bottleneck and cut station cycle time.
1 photoA sealed cover that keeps glass cullet off a weigh hopper, protecting $40,000 of epoxy resin and adding an estimated 12 years of service life.
3 photosAn EV3 robot that reads a text file and places beads to form analog braille letters, with 3D-printed tight-tolerance parts.

I'm a fourth-year Mechanical Engineering student at the University of Waterloo who likes the whole arc of a part: the load case, the geometry, the drawing, and the moment it bolts on and works.
My co-ops have taken me from body-in-white repair engineering at Tesla to thermoforming moulds at Alchemy Nano, production-line fixes at Owens Corning, BIM and MEP design at BIMQP in Singapore, elevator hardware at Delta and driveline design at Skyjack. Outside of work I build robots, gearboxes and electronics, and design EV structures with UWAFT.
