Who We Are
Engineering mobility with purpose.
Our Story
AXLE Mechanical is a small mechanical engineering team driven by hands-on problem solving and thoughtful design. We focus on building practical systems that address real challenges, combining technical rigor with an iterative, build-first mindset. Our work documents the full engineering journey, from early sketches and CAD to fabrication, testing, and final deployment.

The Team
Meet the engineers behind AXLE Mechanical
Michael Beshay
Co-Founder & Mechanical Design Engineer
Michael is a first-year mechanical engineering student at NJIT with a strong interest in hands-on design and problem solving. He focuses on CAD modeling, structural concepts, and turning rough ideas into workable mechanical solutions. At AXLE, he led the design and iteration of core components, balancing simplicity, strength, and real-world constraints.
Peter Kalds
Co-Founder & Fabrication & Systems Engineer
Peter is a first-year mechanical engineering student at NJIT with a strong interest in automotive systems and hands-on engineering. He focuses on fabrication, CAD design, and building reliable, efficient mechanical systems. At AXLE, he helped bring the Wheelchair–Scooter project from concept to a functional, real-world solution.
