Portfolio

Mechanical Engineering Student at Olin College of Engineering

Whether I am automating production lines at Kia, designing competition vehicles for Baja SAE, or developing robotic systems for agriculture, I am focused on creating solutions that are practical and effective. I have developed two patent-pending innovations and led robotics teams that competed at world championships. My experience spans manufacturing automation, mechanical design, and robotic systems. I am drawn to projects where solid engineering makes a real difference.
