Hello!
My name is Ralph, and I am currently a junior at Marquette University studying Mechanical Engineering and French. I am the Lead Student Builder for the mechanical sector here at Kinectr. For your home solutions, I am primarily focused on purely physical solutions such as furniture upgrades and small to medium-sized objects for decor. However, with my skills in CAD, FEM, programming, and machining, I would be more than happy to try to bring any idea that you have to life! Even if I don't have the skillset for your product now, I can learn as I build!
My Projects
BMES Muscle Music - Project Manager
Led development of an EMG-integrated system that translated muscle activation into digital music for users with fine motor disabilities by integrating hardware, software, and assistive design to deliver a functional prototype.
Managed the 15-member engineering team as Project Manager by coordinating weekly execution to maintain steady project progress.
Strengthened team performance by implementing structured feedback systems, facilitating effective meetings, and improving communication across sub-teams.
GE HealthCare Product Maintenance Data Management
Compiled and centralized product maintenance data for all 7,000 PCS Demo inventory items across 200 distinct product types by analyzing 100,000+ pages of technical documentation and integrating data from multiple platforms, streamlining daily shipment workflows and saving 6 hours/day for the manufacturing team.
Authored technical documentation for new data tools and process changes, leveraging deep departmental knowledge and advanced writing abilities to ensure clarity, usability, and regulatory compliance.
Successfully resolved a CAPA investigation by implementing data-driven process improvements, enhancing quality standards and reducing operational risk.
Head Kinetics and Kinematics Response During a Pedestrian-to-Vehicle Collision
Modeled a truck-to-pedestrian collision across two impact positions using Finite Element Modeling (LS-Dyna) to present a case for improved testing regulations and patient care standards.
Conducted extensive literature search across 50+ previous vehicle-to-pedestrian collision studies to retrieve data for validation of the computational model and to strengthen personal understanding of the research area.
