Worked extensively on the IllinoisRef/mechref repository, delivering a wide range of features and documentation enhancements for mechanical engineering education. Focused on front-end development using Astro, JavaScript, and CSS, the work included reorganizing course content, refining technical documentation, and improving visual assets for stress analysis, beam diagrams, and combined loading examples. Addressed bugs related to image rendering and sign conventions, ensuring technical accuracy and clarity. Collaborated on branding alignment and asset management, updated mathematical derivations, and introduced new educational modules. The approach emphasized maintainability, onboarding efficiency, and clear communication, resulting in more reliable, accessible, and scalable engineering reference materials.
April 2026: Delivered three impactful updates for IllinoisRef/mechref: (1) a Comprehensive Combined Loading Example for mechanical systems, with new images and structured explanations; (2) fixed image rendering issues for geometric shapes in properties pages (semicircle/quarter circle) by updating image extensions; (3) updated sign conventions documentation with a new drawing conventions subsection. These changes improve visualization accuracy, content clarity, and onboarding, while enabling engineers and educators to reason about stresses and MOI more reliably.
