Mechanical Engineer
I am a mechanical engineer with a strong background in mechanical system design, fabrication and experimental testing. I thrive in fast-paced environments where multiple quick iterations and tests are required.

Animatronics designed by Walt Disney Imagineering for the Disney Parks are constantly getting more realistic and complex.
Being part of Disney Research allowed me to contribute to the development of concepts for the next generation of animatonics.
My work at Createk Design Lab was done in collaboration with Mazda to model and analyze the sealing performances of the Wankel engine.
Based in Bloomfield, CT, LiquidPiston develops compact, powerful, quiet, efficient, low-vibration and multi-fuel capable rotary engines.
My responsabilities at LiquidPiston were oriented towards engine sealing analysis, wear simulation and mechanical design of the lubrication system.
While in the powersports department of Camso, I worked on a prototype of the next UTV track system. My tasks included mechanical design, FEA, instrumentation and both lab and field testing.
My main task at ArcelorMittal was to increase the yield of the rolling mill in Contrecoeur using data from every step of the process.
As a member of the process planning team at Pratt & Whitney, I was responsible of conducting a PFMEA on the assembly process of turbine engines and make the changes the assembly instructions to decrease the risks.
The Phorcys submarine was designed, built and tested by 12 mechanical engineering students at the University of Sherbrooke. This single-seater submarine with a pressurised cockpit allows novice divers to safely access depths of up to 100 meters. My role in this project was to lead the design of the propulsion system.
After 2 years of hard work and over 120 000 $ in sponsorships, the vehicle was successfully tested in a controlled environment in Rimouski.
The Baja SAE is a student competition organized by the Society of Automotive Engineers. The goal of the competition is to design and build the most performant offroad vehicle, which is ultimately tested in a 4 hours endurance race.
This project allowed me to develop my technical skills such as CAD drawing and FEA analysis. Having to build the vehicle showed me how to use the tools available to an engineer for prototyping. Through the years, I proved my technical and my leadership abilities, which awarded me the role of technical director.
This machine can make a multitude of cocktails and serve them to guests during any party. Guests can order their favorite recipes online through a website.
Along with a group of friends, we salvaged parts from broken vehicles and recycled them into unique mini-bikes concepts.
This ongoing project's goal is to modify a vehicle I acquired from the Sherbrooke Baja team in order to accomodate a more powerful 400cc Honda engine.
