The intersection is the point.
Hi, I'm Daniel Benjamin, a Mechanical Engineering student at UBC and Chassis Lead for UBC Formula Electric.
I enjoy working where mechanical design and software development come together to solve real-world problems. Whether it's prosthetics, Formula SAE, or automation tools that make life more efficient, I'm most motivated by building things that have a tangible impact.

FSAE Chassis Design and Manufacture
Led the design and manufacture of the 2026 UBC Formula Electric chassis, including the 4130 chromoly space frame, structural analysis, manufacturing drawings, welding fixtures, and frame fabrication.
MEMS Soft-Actuated Hand
A tendon-driven prosthetic hand developed at the UBC MEMS Lab to demonstrate soft pneumatic robotic actuators, refined through 3D-printed iterations and custom-molded silicone return bands.
What I bring to the table.
A working spread across the mechanical–software boundary.
