Python, C++, C#Hi! I'm Omar Demiry. I'm a dual-major Mechanical and Electrical Engineering student at the University of Washington Bothell, and I gravitate to problems that end in something you can measure or hold.
Most of what is here started as coursework and kept going — a display stand redesigned after simulation showed its joint carrying the entire load through a single gear tooth, a balsa bridge that took four times its rated load, amplifiers built to a target gain and then checked against a scope.

Engineering Projects
Modular Model Display Stand
B ME 315 · Mar 2026
SolidWorks, FEA, Additive Manufacturing
- Benchmarked a commercial stand in SolidWorks Simulation and found its joint carried the entire load through a single gear tooth; redesigned it as a bolted friction joint with continuous rotation.
- Sole designer and analyst of the final mechanism on a three-person team; flagged inconsistent boundary conditions between FEA studies rather than report unreliable safety factors.
- Printed at 100% infill to match simulation assumptions and corrected fits over three print rounds; costed at $7.79 versus $7.99–$9.99 retail.
Balsa Truss Bridge
ENGR 214 Statics · Mar 2024
Design Competition
- Analyzed all 49 members by method of joints and sections, cross-checked against truss software, for a 36 in span rated at 25 lbf.
- Carried about 100 lbf, four times the design load, placing 2nd in class on load-to-weight ratio on a three-person project done solo.
- Traced failure to unanalyzed transverse members between the truss faces while the analyzed trusses held.
Egg Drop Impact Structure
Dynamics · 2025
- Designed a no-parachute straw impact structure and analyzed fall time, impact velocity and rotational dynamics for two landing cases by hand; the egg survived and landed on target, the one successful design in the group.
Machined Parts
B ME 345 · Spring 2026
- Turned a 12L14 steel plumb bob to drawing (conical point, hex, 3/8-16 tapped hole); milled a 1-2-3 block with a level vial and pencil holder.
Fluid Mechanics Analyses
B ME 332 · 2026
- Derived pressure and flow fields from Bernoulli, continuity and stream functions; implemented potential flow around a cylinder in Python and validated it against stagnation points and Cp = 1 − 4sin²θ.
Electrical & Laboratory Work
Electronics Laboratory Sequence
B EE 200, 331, 332 · 2025 – 2026
- Designed and built a common-source MOSFET amplifier to ID = 2 mA and Av = −20 V/V; characterized 2N7000 and 2N3904 I-V behavior.
- Designed a diode and Zener limiter clipping a −3/+7 V square wave to −2.1/+5.4 V, verified by calculation, LTspice and oscilloscope.
Thermal Fluids and Materials Laboratories
B ME 334, B ENGR 321 · 2026
- Measured convection, pipe friction and pump performance with ANSI/ISA uncertainty analysis; closed an energy balance within 2.6%.
- Characterized metals through tensile, Rockwell hardness and Charpy impact testing, including at liquid-nitrogen temperature.
Arduino Robot Car
Self-directed
- Brought up each sensor and actuator individually before integrating a four-wheel-drive robot, and wrote programs estimating its velocity from ultrasonic ranging and timed traverses.
Hands-On Engineering Experience
Volunteer Mechatronics Engineer
2024 – Present
Land Development Project
- Assisted two automatic transmission replacements, diagnosing slipping from an RPM–acceleration mismatch and validating the repair with fluid service, leak checks and road tests.
- Recovered an abandoned engine-driven pump, then helped move the site’s supply to a shared well via buried pipe.
- Returned a failing generator to service; placed shipping containers and installed steel truss arches at height for a barn.
Software Experience
Software Developer Engineer Intern
2023 – 2024
AlienTech Software
- Worked on Clumi, a local cloud stack emulator on Azure and AWS, and an open-source GPT-4 cover-letter tool in C# and React.
