Sumaiya Dharsi
I'm a Junior at Northeastern studying Mechanical Engineering & Design passionate about creating human centered and innovative projects.
About
At Northeastern, I split my time between classes, art hobbies, clubs, and hands-on builds that use code, CAD, and prototyping.
Tools I’ve been using: SolidWorks, Arduino, C++, laser cutting, 3D Printing, and collaborative design workflows.
I’m currently looking for a Spring 2027 co-op as a Mechanical Engineering co-op, ideally somewhere I can design and prototype products.

Resume
Prototyped components for a robotic manicure machine using SolidWorks, enhancing consistency and reliability. Performed force and viscosity testing on material samples to inform design improvements for the next build iteration
Digitize and organize confidential student records to university data standards. Manage the front desk, assist visitors and maintain inventory.
Produced custom apparel designs for 7+ clients using heat press and vinyl application techniques.
Engineered an automated matcha whisking device that replicates the traditional chasen's zigzag motion, performing gear calculations and mechanical design to convert rotational motion into whisking action. Integrated 3D-printed mechanisms with an Arduino microcontroller to control motion and achieve smooth, froth-free matcha.
Wearable rehabilitation device in SolidWorks with 3D-printed components and Arduino sensors; 10 hand-movement tests analyzed in MATLAB to validate sensor accuracy.
Interactive educational game using C++, Arduino and laser-cut components to introduce children to structural engineering concepts, refined through user experience testing.
