Greater Chicago Area
Feel free to contact me at [email protected] I am a Mechanical Engineering student at Northwestern University with a strong focus on automation, additive manufacturing, circuit prototyping, and data science. I have hands-on experience designing, fabricating, and testing mechanical systems using 3D printing (PLA, infill optimization), CAD (Onshape, Solidworks, AutoCAD), and rapid prototyping, supported by structural analysis and experimental validation. My work spans hardware–software integration, including ESP32- and Arduino-based circuit prototyping, sensor integration, and iterative build-test cycles. I also apply data science and machine learning tools (Python, R, MATLAB) for data analysis, modeling, and visualization, particularly in engineering and human-centered design contexts. I am interested in roles that sit at the intersection of mechanical systems, automation, data-driven engineering, and product development, where analytical rigor and creative problem-solving are equally valued.
Adaptive Structures Lab Designed and ran wind tunnel experiments to study fluid–structure interactions in flexible systems. Built test setups and collected repeatable data to identify vibration regimes and support ongoing lab research.
Designed a 24V to 5V buck converter PCB in KiCad (~5A target) and built a CAD ground station enclosure for system integration.
Taught 20+ students aeronautics fundamentals and guided them through the full design–build–fly cycle. Mentored teams through prototyping and debugging, increasing successful aircraft builds and flight tests.
Mentored 30+ students in Arduino and C++ for embedded systems and hands-on prototyping. Built a Python tool for team assignment and introduced structured design reviews to improve project outcomes.
Designed a React-based inventory system, improving usability for therapy staff managing materials. Collaborated with full-stack developers and built frontend features to streamline workflows and reduce manual tracking.
Toured DMC Chicago’s headquarters to gain hands-on lab experience with the Automation and Test & Measurement teams, using LabVIEW and Siemens TIA Portal to program a PLC-controlled traffic system, while learning from real client projects and engaging directly with CEO Frank Riordan.
