A senior Mechanical Engineering student at Northeastern University. I build with purpose in CNC machining and CAD/CAM manufacturing, elevating the definition of aesthetic design, and capture every step of it on camera.
Engineering builds documented from concept to completion.
Designed from scratch and machined from six 10mm panels of solid 6061 aluminum on a heavily modified hobbyist CNC machine. The stock electronics were replaced entirely to support a custom 3D probing system, enabling the double-sided machining setups this build demanded. Cable combs are 12mm aluminum with a two-tone finish: bead blasted faces and shiny chamfered edges. The D5 pump bracket follows the same design language, machined from 6061 aluminum with a matching bead blast and shiny chamfer finish.
Custom cable combs machined from 12mm 6061 aluminum for the Silvern build, designed to route the 24 ATX cable, 12VHPWR, and 16 pin CPU cable. Each comb carries a two-tone surface finish: bead blasted faces for a consistent matte texture, with shiny chamfered edges that catch the light. The contrast between the two finishes is deliberate, giving every comb a refined, machined-from-solid look that matches the rest of the Silvern aesthetic.
Machined from 6061 aluminum at 90x92x17.5mm, this bracket secures the D5 pump within the Silvern case to prevent movement and maintain a leak-free loop. The large circular bore was cut using an adaptive CAM strategy with a single-flute Datron 4-in-1 tool for a clean, chatter-free result. M4 countersunk mounting holes were held to 4.1mm, accounting for thread clearance and assembly wiggle room while maintaining solid seating. Same two-tone finish as the rest of the Silvern components: bead blasted faces and shiny chamfered edges.
Machined from 6061 aluminum to prevent GPU sag on the Asus TUF RTX 5090 fitted with an Iceman waterblock. The block uses tempered glass instead of acrylic, adding significant weight to an already heavy card. The support acts as a cantilever beam with a concentrated load at the free end — the vertical force of the GPU assembly. Beam deflection was calculated to verify the geometry before cutting. Same two-tone finish as the rest of the Silvern build: bead blasted faces with shiny chamfered edges.
The stock black Delrin terminal on the ASUS TUF RTX 5090 waterblock didn't fit the Silvern aesthetic. The solution: strip it with sodium hydroxide, ceramic bead blast the shroud with B170 media, then machine a replacement terminal from cast acrylic with ports relocated from front-exit to side-exit to match the build's plumbing layout. Full CAD and CAM done in Fusion 360.
Fully designed in Fusion 360 and printed in PETG. This case was built when a CNC machine alone wasn't enough. Three custom distribution plates were machined from cast acrylic in-house, and all cabling was hand-built end-to-end. The first build to push into a complete custom water cooling loop from a blank canvas.

The machine behind every machined part on this portfolio. A custom-built CNC router used to mill cast acrylic distribution plates, aluminum brackets, and custom terminals. Designed and assembled in-house, with a custom control system built from scratch. Every project that required precision machining ran through this machine.
Every project gets documented. I combine mechanical engineering with cinematography to give you a front-row seat to the build, from raw material to finished part. Subscribe to follow along.
Watch on YouTubeIt all started in January 2020 when I got my first CNC machine. I discovered how parts are manufactured and spent hundreds of hours learning CAD/CAM: designing, machining, and refining. I enjoyed every single second of it, all from an apartment, alone.
My biggest outlet is building custom PC water cooling systems: designing components, machining parts from aluminum and acrylic, and documenting the entire process on camera. It's where engineering meets creative craft.
Open to internships, co-ops, and conversations about engineering or content creation. Based in Boston, Massachusetts.
