Welcome to Kassidy Rivero's Digital Portfolio

Explore the world of mechanical engineering through my projects, skills, and experience. Discover how innovation and precision drive my work.

About my work

Hi! My name is Kassidy Rivero and I am currently a freshman at Louisiana State University. My work focuses on applying mechanical engineering concepts to real-world projects through design, analysis, and hands-on problem solving. I have experience with technical drawings, CAD modeling using Fusion 360, and reverse engineering processes. Through projects such as my rotary sander analysis, I have developed skills in understanding mechanical systems, evaluating performance, and proposing practical improvements.

I aim to create efficient, functional designs while clearly communicating technical information through reports, drawings, and presentations!

My core capabilities

I am developing core skills in CAD modeling, mechanical system analysis, and the engineering design process through hands-on projects such as designing and evaluating a rotary sander.

Design

This CAD model represents the sanding pad/velcro screw on bottom of a rotary sander designed in Fusion 360. It demonstrates my ability to create precise 3D geometry, apply correct constraints, and model components that fit within a mechanical assembly.
