Portfolio | Brandon Colin O'Byrne

Hi, I'm Colin O'Byrne

I’m a senior Mechanical Engineering student at Boston University with a strong focus on mechanical design and manufacturing. Welcome to my portfolio of hands-on projects rooted in real-world engineering, production, and creativity!

About Me

My Path in Mechanical Engineering

I fell in love with building through my first lego set, design during my first time in an innovation studio, and manufacturing throughout my first shop class.

Now as a university student I do everything in my power to spend time in the design & manufacturing space. I work in BU's Engineering Product Innovation Center (EPIC), am a member of Terrier Motorsport (Formula SAE Electric), and spend a majority of my free time designing and building personal projects.

Mechanical Engineering Intern

Acushnet Company (Titleist)

Summer of 2026

I worked on the Aerodynamics team within Golf Ball R&D, where I invented a new testing process using resin printing and post-processing. I ran a DOE across material, support profile, and processing method, built a MATLAB script to quantify results, and filed a U.S. provisional patent on the process.

I worked at the Engineering & Technology Center (ETC), designing and prototyping custom fixtures and tooling for high-volume operations, including one that cut cycle time 20%. I also identified parts to convert from machining to 3D printing, cutting lead time from 6 weeks to 1 day and saving $50 per part.

I train and support 150+ users each semester through the concept-to-prototype process, and I own EPIC's continuous improvement program, running root-cause analyses and implementing process changes across our 15,000 sq ft facility. I also maintain our HAAS CNC mill.
