About
I'm a mechanical engineering student with a strong interest in mechanical design, CAD, and creating functional, manufacturable products. I enjoy breaking down complex problems, designing within real-world constraints, and iterating through prototypes to improve performance and usability.
My experience includes CAD modeling, design for manufacturing, and hands-on prototyping through coursework and personal projects. I'm particularly interested in product development and R&D roles where engineering decisions directly influence real-world products. I'm also pursuing a minor in engineering management, which has strengthened my understanding of project planning, teamwork, and engineering decision-making beyond the technical level.
Outside of engineering, acrylic painting is a personal hobby that I enjoy as a creative outlet. I spend time painting and experimenting with different styles as a way to unwind and explore ideas outside of technical work. While separate from engineering, this creative practice helps keep me balanced and engaged, and it reflects my interest in thoughtful, well-rounded problem solving.
