Web-Connected Smart Shelf Insert
Overview
A web-connected smart shelf system that improves accessibility in community pantries by tracking real-time inventory. As project manager and mechanical design engineer, I led a five-person team integrating mechanical, electrical, and digital design goals into a functional prototype that was awarded Best in Section at the CU Engineering Fall Design Expo.
My role
I led the mechanical design using CAD modeling and prototyping to develop the physical system. I collaborated with the five-person team to integrate mechanical, electrical, and digital design goals, conducting testing and iteration to improve durability, compatibility, and assembly efficiency.
Integration of mechanical, electrical, and digital systems
Optimized for assembly efficiency and real-world deployment
Awarded Best in Section for excellence in product development, analysis, and presentation — the project demonstrated cross-disciplinary engineering skills applied to a community accessibility challenge.
