My name is Ethan Seder and I am pursuing a degree in mechanical engineering from Harvard. The goal of this website is to show my interest in building, tinkering, and designing. Included are some of my projects, past and present.
Managed six team members and oversaw financial and operational processes. Designed and manufactured an ultra-efficient transmission to minimize rotating mass during coasting.
Conducted detailed and tailored assessments of new market expansions for Lemonade Insurance. Created deliverables and presented research and recommendations to CEO.
Designed, created, and integrated a customer community marketplace based on the Salesforce platform.
Candidate for S.B. in Engineering Sciences (Mechanical and Materials Sciences and Engineering) Coursework in Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, Statics, CAD, Machining. Commit 25 hours per week to the Harvard Varsity Men’s Rowing Program. Competed in Varsity Boat at Head of the Charles.
I have been a part of Harvard’s SEAS racing team for two years. We are building a fuel-efficient vehicle to compete in the SAE Super-mileage Competition. Last year, I designed and manufactured the rear wheel and transmission to minimize power loss. In June 2018, we placed the highest of any first-year teams. As President of the team, I have handled administrative duties such as scheduling, budgeting, and complying with regulations. From machining to carbon fiber manufacturing, I am working hard to engineer our race car to be fast and fuel efficient.

ES51: Computer Aided Machine Design focuses on the design and construction of mechanical and electromechanical devices. I learned engineering graphics, sketching, dimensioning, tolerancing, materials selection, structural design, and the necessity of precision in design and manufacturing. Our team designed and manufactured a robot that won 2nd place in the class competition.
