Guillermo Flores

Computer Engineering Student · Simon Fraser University

I like turning ideas into working hardware — from CAD models and stress analysis to motor-driven mechanisms and the circuits and code that run them.

Professional Summary

I'm a Computer Engineering student at Simon Fraser University with hands-on experience across mechanical design, prototyping, and circuit integration. My most recent project involved leading the mechanical design of an automated measuring cup — CAD modeling, stress analysis, and a motor-driven dispensing mechanism built and tested with an 8-person team.

Outside of coursework, I work as a cook and have spent a summer landscaping, both of which have sharpened how I handle pressure, manage time, and work as part of a team. I'm also active in my community through volunteer work with my church and local outreach initiatives.

Projects

Automated Measuring Cup

Completed · Sep–Dec 2025

I led the mechanical design of an automated measuring cup, performing CAD modeling and stress analysis to ensure structural integrity and precise component fitment across an 8-member team.
I designed, prototyped, and tested a custom motor-driven dispensing mechanism using rapid prototyping and iterative bench testing, meeting targeted volumetric tolerances.
I integrated mechanical subsystems with electrical circuits and software control algorithms through cross-functional collaboration, delivering a fully functional prototype on schedule.

Stack: SolidWorks, CAD stress analysis, electrical circuit integration
Role: Mechanical design lead, 8-member team

Student Budget Tracker

Completed · Oct–Dec 2025

I built and iterated on the budget enforcement feature of a C++ command-line budget tracker, developing and testing logic that flags and restricts overspending across budget categories as part of a 5-member team.
I applied iterative debugging and unit testing to validate the core enforcement algorithms, ensuring accurate, reliable real-time tracking of spending against set limits.
I collaborated with teammates on the input handling, data storage, and reporting modules to integrate my feature into a cohesive command-line application over a 3-month development cycle.

Stack: C++, command-line application, unit testing
Role: Budget enforcement developer, 5-member team
