Adam Carahalios: Design and Test Engineer in littleton, CO

Vulcan Technical is my startup company. We are a small scale engineering products company. Primarily we build custom, steel hardtail mountain bikes to exacting ergonomic standards. Each bike is hand built using proprietary algorithms to fit the anatomical measurements of each rider. In addition frames can be optioned to include proprietary, failure resistant, travel junctions that have been developed and tested in house. Additionally, we are working to design a "Soft Stop" retractable dog leash.

Worked to design and build test hardware for the research that became my master's thesis. I also developed and implemented novel data capture and analysis systems that were used in the research. In my time as a research contractor I completed 5 research projects examining the interface forces between a rider and their bike as well as examining the external weight distribution of both professional and amateur riders. This information was used to improve current product lines as well as generate new ones.

Worked for Fay Engineering for two consecutive summers as a technical intern to assist with forensic accident reconstruction. • Tire track analysis • Developed courtroom presentation materials • Completed scale model generator coding • Articulated debris field reconstruction
