Hi, I'm Jillyan.
Mechanical Engineer
Efficiency fuels a creative mind. From optimizing industrial workflows to leading multidisciplinary teams, I am driven to challenge today's limits and create tomorrow's possibilities.
VALUES
PRECISION
Engineering excellence is founded upon rigorous quality assurance and the strict implementation of GD&T standards to ensure consumer safety and system reliability.
DESIGN
Efficiency remains at the core of every project, formed by an extensive background in the fine arts which enables a creative, scalable, and modular approach to problem-solving.
INTEGRITY
Engineering ethics and lean manufacturing principles are tied together by a positive, forward-thinking mindset-- driving actions as Vice President of the ZOTBotics Robotics Club or as Director of Public Relations in Engineering Student Council.
EXPERIENCE

PROJECTS
CHEME CUBE
GOAL: Design and manufacture a modular 1 cubic foot direct air capture unit, innovating on current industry-level CO2 removal solutions.
DESIGN: Led 25 engineers by managing a bill of materials, delegating tasks, integrating systems architecture based on curated SolidWorks CAD model and KiCAD electronics diagram, and validating system performance with Simulink.
RESULTS: Our team earned 1 of 23 invitations to attend and compete in the Annual AIChE Student Conference where we captured 76% of input carbon dioxide and placed 7th of all colleges and universities on a worldwide level.
