About
I am a mechanical engineering student with a strong interest in designing and building systems that perform
reliably under real world constraints. My approach to engineering emphasizes careful problem definition,
structured analysis, and hands on iteration, with equal attention to design intent and execution.
I
have experience working in fabrication and research support environments where precision, documentation, and
repeatability matter. Through this work, I have developed a disciplined approach to translating requirements
into physical designs, validating performance through testing, and refining solutions based on evidence rather
than assumption.
In addition to mechanical design, I am interested in applying computational and data
driven methods to engineering problems. I enjoy building and analyzing systems that integrate physical
components with software logic, and I value clarity, testability, and robustness in both domains.
I am
seeking opportunities in mechanical design and product development where thoughtful engineering, practical
execution, and continuous learning are valued.
Projects
Developing an AI-driven policy manager to orchestrate surrogate and high-fidelity combustion simulations in hypersonic regimes. Leverages active learning and uncertainty quantification to dynamically allocate DNS calls based on surrogate confidence and flow behavior. Focused on balancing computational efficiency with physical model fidelity in hybrid simulation workflows.
Developing a mechanical concept to enable camber adjustment and reduce tread wear on large frame compact track loader track systems. Work includes iterative CAD development, mechanical modeling, and a validation plan connecting design changes to wear behavior and constraints.
Janus is an event driven trading system currently under development, focused on evaluating historical and real time market signals within a disciplined, testable architecture. The project emphasizes data pipeline design, model based signal enrichment, and risk control logic, with active work on backtesting and validation.
Designed and fabricated a working centrifugal water pump from stock acrylic using CNC machining and a custom 3D printed impeller.
Conducting a CFD and measurement study to diagnose thermal comfort issues under multiple operating conditions. Combines geometry setup, meshing, boundary condition definition, and on site temperature mapping for scenario comparisons.
Restored a salvaged 2022 Ducati Panigale V2 back to road ready condition through structured diagnosis, part sourcing, and torque to spec assembly. Replaced key components, refreshed fluids, and verified function and safety using service style build discipline.
Experience
Mechanical Engineering Intern, Resilience Inc.
Designed and prototyped the SALI desalination device through CAD modeling, materials planning, and cost estimation to reduce projected build cost by 15 percent. Built and tested four prototypes while using MATLAB to model thermal performance and compare against experimental results. Produced assembly and compliance guides so the device can be replicated and built in under three hours.
Design Associate, Biology Engineering Shop
Worked directly with graduate researchers to design custom experimental setups using AutoCAD and SolidWorks drawings plus 3D models. Managed eight or more fabrication machines including CNC mills and 3D printers while improving organization in shared equipment rooms. Assembled and tested fifteen or more mechanical prototypes with attention to function and design specifications.
Technician, Engineering Machine Shop
Supported fabrication and machining work for engineering projects by assisting with part production and shop operations. Built practical experience with measurement, tooling setup, and shop process discipline while maintaining a safe and organized workspace.
