Passionate and hands-on Senior Mechanical Engineer in the robotics field, with a strong background in design, prototyping, and sustainability. My engineering journey began with a foundation in mechanical and aerospace design, shaped by my experiences in SAE Baja and AIAA Design/Build/Fly, where I gained invaluable hands-on experience in vehicle dynamics, manufacturing, and aerodynamics. I thrive on problem-solving, 3D printing, and continuous learning—always exploring new technologies, automation, and control systems to push the boundaries of innovation. Whether it's designing for robotics or optimizing mechanical systems, I enjoy bringing concepts to life through iteration and testing. Always open to collaboration and new challenges—let’s connect!
