Portfolio

Hi, I'm Zachary Wolter, a Mechanical Engineering student at Olin College of Engineering with a passion for designing, analyzing, and building mechanical systems. I'm motivated by the entire engineering process, from early sketches and CAD modeling to manufacturing, testing, and refinement.

At Olin, I've contributed to multidisciplinary teams in robotics, automotive design, and aerospace engineering. I'm currently part of Olin Baja, where I work on the Drivetrain Subteam manufacturing components for the transmission, and the Suspension Subteam designing and fabricating new wheel hubs. I'm also on Olin Aero, where I am developing structural systems for this year's VTOL aircraft. I enjoy combining simulation and hands-on fabrication to bring complex designs to life.

This portfolio showcases my projects and growth as an engineer, highlighting how I apply theory, creativity, and precision to turn ideas into reality.
