Guilford, Connecticut, United States
I am a junior mechanical engineering student at the University of Maryland's A James Clark School of Engineering. I look forward to expanding my knowledge in CAD, robotics, and project design and applying it through projects, internships, and research. I have used Fusion 360, Matlab, and Arduino in team projects. These projects helped me hone my skills and become familiar with a team-building environment. Outside of engineering, I am a peer mentor for the College Park Scholars Program at the University of Maryland. I guide, mentor, and teach five freshmen about the complexities of college and offer a helping hand in anything they need.
Conducting impact analysis for the XPRIZE Wildfire Competition, dramatically improving the detection and suppression of destructive wildfires. Advancing development in the Autonomous Wildfire Response Track, which challenged teams to deploy drones capable of detecting and suppressing high-risk fires with greater speed, accuracy, and precision than current methods. Driving innovation in predictive wildfire modeling, incentivizing technologies that forecast fire behavior and risk in real time to strengthen early detection and rapid response.
Engineering and manufacturing quality heavy-duty fixtures, we set the standards for today’s submarine and surface ship lighting. • Worked with the manufacturing team to fabricate and assemble naval and industrial lighting fixtures that met strict industry standards • Updated CAD models and technical drawings in AutoCAD to support design revisions and improve accuracy for future projects • Built and monitored ballast endurance test rigs, scaling capacity from 40 to 80 units to support multi-year evaluation of 30,000+ components
Provided exemplary customer service to patrons. CPR certified.
Worked in a team of 8 people to create a truss that met the objective restraints with a goal of withstanding a force of one thousand pounds. Calculated the member that would receive the most stress and gave an estimate for our strength given material stress values.
