About

I am a mechanical engineer with experience in systems engineering, mechanical systems design, and thermal and structural analysis. As part of the SRF Systems Engineering team for the PIP-II project at Fermilab, I focus on the design, integration, procurement, and testing of cryogenic and vacuum systems. My work bridges engineering design and large-scale scientific infrastructure, ensuring reliable operation of superconducting radio-frequency systems.
